with the hybrid person you make a
minimum of 10 bucks go as high as 700
hello guys welcome back to Startup GH my
name is katel Michael in today's video
we are going to speak to a gentleman who
is doing cucumber production if this is
your first time don't forget to hit the
like button and subscribe
see you my name is
I grow cucumber as you can see okay
green pepper tomato
watermelon cabbage so on the same field
no on different fruits different fields yeah
yeah
how long have you been doing the farm
from my childhood days I started with my
dad so personally
I do my I started my own two years ago
okay but even with my own I still work
with my dad so I do my own part time
then my daddy soon
educate us on
cucumber production is it profitable
yeah cucumber is profitable because of
you don't need much to start it yeah it
doesn't take much money
if by the grace of God Market goes well
you make your money so can you please
walk us through the land preparation
with the alarm preparation
or depending on the land you get when
the land is that kind of land that
it has been used already you need to put
in manual
then after that you plow it
or you plow then you add manure
but then you do your sewing plowing
currently an acre is 300 cities yeah
yeah
yeah so after plowing which manure do
you use we use a cow dunk or that of the
chickens do you buy those yeah we buy them
them
with the chicken droppings currently a
sack they put it in the engine yeah one
how many do you need for Anika
you need our approximately when you get like
[Music]
socks will be okay how how many acres
are you doing this is half this is how
many did you use
this one I didn't apply you didn't apply
yeah okay why
because the time that I think I actually
I didn't plan to come and work on the
land so it become like something quick
and you have to order or for the manure
before they bring it so if I should be
waiting for that you know it will delay
my process yeah okay so after the alarm
preparation is done what do you need
preparation you need your seed your seed
yeah your fertilizer
then other inputs
talking about seed how many varieties
do we have
the varieties we have a lot okay I can
just mention a few that I know
we have the local one that we normally
use how do you call the local they look
around here we don't have any name for
you yes refers to the local one then we
have the hybrid okay with the hybrid I
can talk of
[Music]
the variety is daku yeah then we have
darina okay we have two Q okay yeah we
have others we have a lot
why do you choose this yeah
oh this special variety
like this is the first time I'm doing
its bar
the the dealer of the seed made me
understand that it is more advanced than
the other ones the Tokyo the Murano and
the other
yeah it's yield and it lasts also done
those ones
oh we saw it directly yeah
okay do you have a question
with the measurement yeah no
we don't have any special measuring
because we don't go by the pure and
Greek matter where you use a
rules to to strengthen up your lifestyle
of course I've seen that is it's in line
yeah somebody that calls me see is a
line because I've been into the work for
a long
and we also use lines in doing some so
it become easy for me and when you come
to my farm you may think of Youth
the the the the line but no how much did
you buy this
the seed is in such a so this is a five
searches one course
um 160 cities yeah we have
a thousand pieces of ceiling each sachet
wow
and even with this depending on your
spacing this is my spacing and you get
you see that there is space in it so
depending on your spacing that you use
to determine the number of circuits you
I can count like two feet yeah uh I
prefer spacing my things well because
when you space it like this there is
good aeration like air will pass through well
well
and the product two will look good how
it takes five days five days yeah yeah
what do you do
a week later
we give fertilizer
we give the NPK fertilizer
there are some we buy 20 20 15 15 or 20
10 10 yeah
we apply the fertilizer to boost the
growth we make it grow faster yeah
stuff with
life after affected other application if
you are using the irrigation the way you
apply fertilizer in two or three days
time you have to water yeah
[Music]
we spray insecticide to to deal with the
insects that attacks it then other Folia
with the liquid ones for for the growth
that is you know we are taking this
he said after one week
so what you when are you doing there
is one week for the second week from the
second week you start doing your spray yeah
yeah
if there is insect attack he is playing
set itself but make sure
you spray fungicide because the Cucumber
or fungus do disturbate so when you
spray fungicide it makes the lips stronger
stronger
that's why you have to spray fungicide
it's very important thing a cycle of
normally when it's coming we weed but
when it starts entering into each other
when it starts forming yeah then you
have to make sure you do all with this
before you start forming
to allow it to have it grow fairly so we
did for how many times
uh you see some part those part there
are no that's the second time
I'm here to read this side
it depends on the land some lands you
only wait for one thing that would be
all but this is very land It Grow Bush
very quick every week every week
or we can have you have to spray
it's playful yeah yeah
the Folia makes that it has a it boosts
the growth yeah
uh currently I'm using my ZK yeah
yeah it's
it make the flowers come
yeah and then the multi-k
the multi-k make their leaves grow well
this is the second time I'm spraying yeah
yeah
this very cucumber there are there's no
much disease that attack it apart from
the fungi that will Attack eating
the leaves become yellow
yeah that is the major thing that will
raise it aside that when it's flowering
if there is insufficient water I see
that the Cucumber will be burning the
best time to grow cucumber I'll say
in the cool weather that is
July that way
we agree July the weather will be cool
so it makes yo it makes you have good
you what about what we're done
those ones too they are cool with the
hot weather you see a lot of people they
didn't grow so when you grow it in a hot
weather and take care of it you make
money that's the only thing but it
doesn't go
the challenges you have you know like
when there is insufficient what time
they they have to be burning that's
right and then marketing
when it comes to the marketing to their
moment where it will be common in
marketing a full sack will be sold for
even 50 cities
yeah there is demand that can movement
where customers will be calling for it
yeah so it's demand when the time comes
there is high demand for it so you have
mind
okay it's kakumba very expenses
like June like this yeah
yeah
sometimes June you get Market June July
get market and then October
September October 2 you get when you
have a growing cucumber I want to
you make Market s
uh yeah when it's ready January
the January February to a school but I
realized that when you grow it uh
uh
so it doesn't really do well so maybe
later December there when you grow it
to do well and you make your Market too
so generally to
screw what is the yield
for let's say this like half an acre
half an acre with the hybrid Percy
yeah like this one you can make
yeah you can make like 10 Max how many times
times
no after maturity okay you harvest like
you harvest twice a week so it will take
a maximum of three weeks and after
maturity yeah
yeah yeah
harvesting yeah
each week you have it two times and you
can Harvest it for three weeks that's maximum
does it reduce or it keeps increasing
let's say today you get two bucks the
next week are you going to get more
battery normally over here because we
Harvest it and that these two are not equal
equal
because of the difference in the days we
Harvest we have the the the it affects
in the harvesting
so over here we have us on Wednesdays
Wednesdays and Sundays so you realize
that when you harvest on Wednesday
and harvest on Sunday within this period
is short it's shorter than from Sunday
to Wednesday
so that's when you have different in the
quantity yeah
you mean on Wednesday you might have
more bags
from Sunday to Wednesday you have more
yeah then for down from Wednesday to Sunday
Sunday yeah
yeah
so how much is a buck
currently Atlanta is 300 cities
yeah is that the highest you can go you
know it can go as high as 700 yeah the
maximum it went so far is 700. that was
in last year
yeah just this year I think our last
invest into it
um depending on the scene because the
scissors are expensive and you grow
different varieties but this one person
you know I'm likely to invest
yeah from there you know so the most
expensive thing here now will be the siege
siege
it's supposed to be more than the amount
I've mentioned but because there has
been rains where I holding water
it has reduced the course
so let's see here there might be a
mistake in my estimation so you will be
looking at roughly a while they spending
like two thousand yeah
yeah
if I'm calculating even there
yeah sure
and they leave us because they are doing
it yourself but when it there are
moments where I invite people to come in
when I think the the weed grows faster
and you need to clear it within short
period of Time how much
by charge for clearing house
with the labor currently I'm here in the
car they are charging 400 CD at the
other side where they are not doing
irrigation so this side here
we are here to talk about it what would
you might pull
uh I will see you have to prepare financially
financially
so that you'll be able to provide
the needed input
yeah so that it wouldn't be that your
team will be lacking on cucumber
he likes manure
so if you don't have enough that you put
in enough money or for it then you
wouldn't get anything so make sure you
get your financially sound then you even
though it doesn't cost much but you have
to make sure you get enough that you
provide the necessities
a crops that you do is which one is more problem
problem
so we'll talk about the green pepper
green pepper is a more profitable ones
yet it takes a lot of money but I think
it's more profitable you have to invest more
previously we have exporters but now
they are not around so we give it to our
so if someone needs maybe a bag of
cucumber and
he misses in Accra you can you also get
it to them
yeah we do we gave it to Carl to send today
today
yeah but at times if you are busy with
going to Rosa to transport it it takes
our time so we find that stressful but
your number out so that if someone wants
to talk on how to do happen by
no okay my number is zero two four eight
twenty six
