yeah Curr at the sh Hills and she's
saying that normally an acre here go for
400 CI at Le just to rent it right so
let added 400 C so now you've added
renting of land so like 2,280 CS to
start an OK Farm in 2024 so now you're
looking at this cost someone say if I
invest this money into OK farming how
much money am I expected to get oh if
you're able to spend this money put this
money in OK farm for one acre and you
are able to take care of your CR you get
more than that okay you get times two of
this yes even in like the abundance
season in abundance season you get we
always do it in abundance season so I
know what I'm saying you get more than
this one like times three if anybody say
I'm 10 so let's bet on it so that the
person go try yes I like your energy yes
let's bet on it and ok to nothing is
spoil everything is money even if the
dry one you get the seed the seed is 120 C
C
last year I sold seed more than 5,000
Ghana C seed only wow so if I don't have
my I can use that money to start the
it it's a beautiful Brand New Day
welcome back to another exciting family
week in Ghana the first time seeing me
I'm Charles and on this channel talk
about farming and agriculture here in
Ghana from the previous video we spoke
to mru to know um how she started what
she Farms here um here on the farm in
today's video I'm going to look at okro
farming at least a detailed video on how
to start OKO fing as a beginner H
currently this year in 2024 if you are
watching us you inspired and want to to
OK fing what and what are you supposed
to know before you go into the business
that's what m going to help us at least
in answering so yes before we get into
it like comment share and subscribe as a
goal 100,000 subscribers before the year
ends we are in August so please you're
almost there before the year end so
please subscribe to the channel so you
all grow together Mr so the question
today is I me I want to go into OK
farming I'm now starting I've listened
to you I've been inspired to start a
business if I want to go into it what
what am I supposed to know before I
start okay thank for your
question because you a beginner you
first find a land okay the land to if
you get a clay land here is it will help
you most
so after getting the land you have to
look for money for tra to prow okay
after that you have to look for your
cing that is the okro
seed after that you look for some
uh if you can weed you have to look for
your hole if you can't then you have to
look for w side okay mhm then wh would
definitely disturb your crop so you have
to look for medicine for the for the
webs uhhuh so for now these are the four
things you need to start your farming
okay okay so let's break them down to
smaller so now the land if I'm acquiring
a land for ok farming how should it look
like what am I supposed to take note of
on the land okay like I said
earlier you have to look for the like
the texture of the land if it is H clay
or Lumi soil okay what whatever you get
it can go but maybe if it is not rainy
season there you are doing irrigation
you spend more water you waste like you
use more water but if it is raining
there that one there is nor is normal
okay uhuh so with the
land if you get the clay or the Lomi
still your OK grow you get your ok so
for the land it's not not it's not
necessary like but just that the the
this one on the clean sand it soak it
soaks water for long it hold water for
long than the other one yes okay okay so
but whatever you get you can you yeah
you can okay okay there talk about the
seeds too the seeds the seeds yes um are
different types of seeds yes you have
different type of seeds we have we have
some we call
it like I don't have some here because
that one it is only 6 weeks if you plant
it it will start within six weeks and
with that six weeks now it will finish
okay it is it is very black we have
white and black like you see something
on it like G but the V they like it more
during the dry seon because that is very
expensive during the dry season so
that's what they normally do during the
dry season so thean like that one that
one yes it's very sweet too but we here
we don't like it because it finishes
early it is we is sweet uhhuh and we
have another one it's called
Abal that Abal they have some at the
other side yes that one too is start 6
weeks but end as 8 weeks so we say 6 6
we what do you mean like like if you
plant it it will mature like you will
start harvesting it within six weeks but
if you harvest it within another 6 weeks
it will finish okay uhuh so 6 we is
making 12 So within 12 weeks you your OK
will finish on the farm that's how it is
and then theal
is 6 to8 so 6 week
matures you can have it it will finish
but the most H Seed like the popular SE
that keeps long 3 months it start 3
months and you harest it to three months
it's Angola okay yes which I have here
ah so this how this the Angola yeah this
is the Angola not that not the C but the
color okay and the shape yeah okay okay
the colors are different the colors are
different yeah if you get if I get some
I'll show to you yeah okay we have they
have different different colors sure but
the first one at Le the various types
you mentioned if you if you know the
English name please put in the comment
we all learn together but she knows it's
in the local so if you know it let's let
us know so you said the first one
onei it is very short and then it's
black they have SP like H there is Mark
on like G how G is uh it's like like G
okay okay that's how that one looks like
but that one the fans like it most
because it's sweet and people to like it
during the dry season because during the
dry seon it's very expensive that if
they are selling this Angola for six for
two cities that one will go for four for four
four
cities yes okay okay okay but rainy
season we don't like it because it
finished is early so we don't like it
during the r season finishes in terms of
like you harvest it very early very
early then you to finish early uhuh you
harvest it early it to finish early okay
okay okay that makes like it sure but I
said those of us from the shy Hills
going they don't like the the one that
is the black one that like H we don't
want it here even if you if they plant
it like small small they will just do
some small portion be attached to this
one so that if this one has not started
they can be they can be harvesting that
one so before that one will finish then
this one also start okay people do
people do it like that but me particular
I don't like it so at all I don't go for
any at all at all at all okay so Angola
is the best Anga is the best yeah Angola
is the Angola to if you harvest it and
you should put it down like for tomorrow
to sell it's still like that okay uhhuh but
but
the the anma the this thing thean one
yeah if they break the following day if
you have today the following day you see
that it is turning black and the Abal
too you see that it will be coming soft
and other things so the best
is okay but everybody with what he or
she like uh so you can check what maybe
your customer custom what you do it for
them yes okay and also we advising that
before you go into vegetables or farming
make sure you get your customers before
you it yes I said that you elaborate on
that for us yes before you go to farming
my brother my sister make sure you get
customer first if not you will say
farming is not good they are not buying
your crop so farming is not good get
customers at least if you have in mind
that this year I'll plant oku just B
You' been buying oku at Market so just
tell your customers that oh charie if I
should plant some small will you buy
like joke joke you will see that the
person will show interest
so if you get two or three people that
show interest that one to motivate you
that after I've gotten a customer so if
I plant CL I can get somebody to buy
your c will never remain on the farm
yeah so that one is the key Point get
customer before you plant yes always get
customer before you plant so now let's
go back to the normal video what we
doing so I've looked at the land make
sure it's little soil or a bit clay so
at least it can hold water because OK
needs water as
then I looked at the SE too as well
where you said Anga is the best Anga
yeah this the whole is Anga if you come
looking for C they will give you Anga
not give you any other than Anga okay
okay okay now I want to look at if I'm
venturing into it how much money or
Capital would I need as an estimate
rough estimate for me to know before I I
go into the
business okay for me if I say rough estimates
estimates
it will depend rough estimate it will
depend on the size of the land you have
gotten okay so let's say ask one AC okay
if you can multiply for the other okay
so if I give you one and you you have
gotten more than that you can multi you
can do the addition yourself yes exactly
uhuh so if you say 1 AC a bottle of the
seed is 120 for this year 120 cities
okay tra 400 cities for this
year okay uhhuh then you buy the we side
we side we have different different
types but we have Ty some that if you if
you spray them to like if you spray them
you will brief small like uhuh it will
keep strong they are strong you brief
like it will take time before they it
will germinate
again and then we have some to if you
should apply it on the OK though they
are good for we if if they should touch
the okr plant like this the plant will
fall uhhuh so just that they we Des but
we have specific one for the specific
club that you want to spray inside okay
mostly here we've been using S for seat
to spray oku okay s San and San bottle
is 70 g c this it depend on a shop where
you buy it me where I've been buying one
my own is a Shop 70 CI okay okay M that
SI 590 C so so if you have one AC that
one H bottle you get one machine one one
machine is H one bucket of water okay
uhuh so if you buy one one medicine it
one you get at least five or six machine
that is five backets the machine that
the spray machine that you get that one
either six or five okay uhhuh so if you
get six it can spray your one for you if
if you don't get a six then you have to
buy more extra more okay okay so I've
added the 70 cies okay so at least you
look that the seed the
plowing and then the we decide after the
we decide if you plant fresh and they
coming we we call something Chasta that
have been disturbing the crop Fresh So
before we plant the seeding we have we
use dress care we apply dress Care on
the seed before planting so that that
worms will not disturb it if it is
germinating there are some is it are
they b or some
I don't know they like grass cut how do
they call them is it like grass cut no
no not the grass cut we eat the the
hopper yeah they they like Hopper yeah
the animal they have been cutting if
they coming small so they have been
cutting their leaves on their so you
have to buyus there is a medicine called
eus plent more many people don't know
that secret so if you use that to
spray your crops or you can do it if
after planting you can use it to spray
then you are safe to get your CR gated
well okay but how much do they sell it
300 C now hey it's expensive yes Hey cuz
that cost like 809
C wow okay okay but it does a good job
yes it does a good job it will maintain
your crops for you so this 8 890 C at
least for like for like one uhhuh and
then they're spraying to you can't spray
only once okay uhhuh like this this one
we spray like four times now but still
we need to spray again yeah that's the W
side yes we spray like four time so but
still we have to spray again you
continue to like how you want it if you
want to yeah if you want to be like
house your house you can keep on
spraying so that it will be like your
house neat like that uhuh that is if you
have the time okay but if you don't have
the time like we that you don't have the
tell like today I should be spraying but
I have I harvest ok I'm not going to
harvest Tomatoes what when when what
what time will I come and spray
again so it means then the guy have to
come and then do the spray I do the
harvesting so maybe by tomorrow he'll be
doing the spray okay okay so since you
are buying the spray say you you sp like
two or three times two or three times
and one of them decide was how much 70
GH for the whole crew and then as a
beginner to eat means you don't have the
spray machine you have to get the spray
machine M so 70 plus another 70 to add
three you get to the spray machine we
have from CS to 700 CS what we are using
is 700 C okay okay but from 200 to 700
what you what what what you can let me
just give the maximum amount so let me
ask 700 so you get your W boot yes boot
yes your W boot so that M you can be
working gly around okay and now to how
much this this Rel is0 last year but so
to this 150
last okay okay so average like almost
2,000 C for and this one involves at
least your equipment and gear and the
farm and everything at least the land is
not part the land is not part maybe if
if the land is for you there is not part
but this place some of the land we
rented them for one year is 400 cities
ah okay uhuh okay like this one that is
for the military is military zone so
it's free but the other
side yes so one is 400 C that's like in
this area right yes in this area okay
how the tractor the amount tractor
collect is that the farmer the land
owner to collect hey yes so that's how
they used to check there okay okay so in
the sh she saying yeah currently at the
shy Hills and she saying that nor an AC
here go for 400 CI at Le just to rent it
right so 400 C so now you've added
renting of land so like 2,280 CS to
start an OKO Farm in 2024 so now you're
looking at this cost someone say if I
invest this money into OK farming how
much money am I expected to get oh if
you're able to spend this money put this
money in OK farm for one acre and you
are able to take care of your crop you
get more than that okay you get times
two of this yes even in like the
abundance season in abundance season you
get we always do it in abundance season
so I know what I'm saying you get more
than this one like times three if
anybody say I'm telling let's bet on it
so that the person go and try yes I like
your energy yes let's bet on it so the
person tries it and let's see
something okay so actually unless like
unless crisis whereby the crop does not
make like how my own is now they are
fine but if you should treat it well and
then no disease affected it oh Charlie
you make money nice nice nice at least
so the Returns on this is like twice of
this twice of this so you're currently
at 2,280 cities let's say of it's like
to by
two H so you make 4,560 C is not cool
yes it's cool at least you make more
than your your capital thank and now
even the next year you might not be
considering because the nap spray you
bought you not buy them you buy
again don't it's only maybe if you rent
the land you pay for the land the
tractor and maybe so if you use this one
to plant next year you not buy seed
again even you get seed to sell yourself
oh okay yes you been selling the seed
when it's dry right yes when it's dry
you set the seed for somebody so even if
you set the seed you can use that money
for tractor plowing or renting of the
land nice nice nice nice nice nice nice
so let's give full estimate of the
pricing now initially about like the
price in terms of how it is sold the the
OK yes ok is been counted we always
count count okay we always count last
year there it was in abundance that they
don't even eat if they push you you fall
in it so it's basket that basket that
will be like how I I pack them into that
basket uhuh they will just price it for
you B on the basket based on the basket
maybe 30 Ghana or 40 Ghana but this time
around there we think it's good because
we count it no matter how how plenty it
is you count it in one city too so but
why is it the last present in the basket
and this it was last year oku everybody
oku make fine okay so everybody was
harvesting so it was in abundance you
know it was if they push you you fall into
into
it if they push you you fall into it yes
okay okay but that one along the line
before AUST September the price changes
so we were
counting the price Chang so we were
counting so even if you don't get the
money within the early stage at the end
you get your money I get you I get you
so now as saying the count is talking
about now currently they in August now
in the raining season it's 1241 C right
for one C yes um someone asking 12 for
one C it's like it's cheap you you made
mention earlier that the best time to
grow okro is during the dry season right
when you have irrigation um can you
speak more on that compared to like
growing it in the rainy season Al the
dry season okay the dry season the
reason why I said uh if you you grow any
vegetables on the dry season you get it
more dry season is like a few people can
afford the machines and other things to
do it the irrigation system only few
people are involved in the irrigation
system unlike the raining as for the
raining if rain today by everybody's
land so we everybody anybody who don't
talk go they do something uhuh so that
one there is for everybody but the
irrigation there is for some few people
is if you have the money uhuh so just
imagine dry season like 10 people are
able to do OK farming when they get
money moneyy and then this rainy season
more than thousand people from Shah
Shah
n all the farming communities even if
you go to Kumi they are harvesting aogo
they they also harvesting now so yeah
yeah sure so now that is 12 for1 C in
the dry season how much can you sell
them to for last early this year early
this year OK was this one 77 for for
cities anybody who goes to Market can
testify on what I'm saying as comp to is
12 yes early this year OK like this
three two CS if you want to buy four C
they will give you seven meaning they've
considered you then they add one one to
it for you yes for CD Wow yes but they
are buying obviously yes because it's in
demand uhuh they are buying and there
scar scarcity around you so yes it's
always advisable if you are thinking of
going to vegetable War fing Al you
recommend or we recommend that if you do
irrigation if it is half you do it
irrigation you get money yeah yeah yeah
okay youone now someone is looking at
let's look at how we go about the
planting so I've gotten the land I flow
the land how I the seed do I dig go and
put it do I it do I do what what do I do
uh okay here because we when we are
plant we we want it to be planted one
day so we call people to help us like
uhuh after that you pay them or some
people will say it's okay if you started
harvesting then I come and harvest so
that you pay me okay and because it is nor
nor
normally if you can plant a lo you can
use catas then you dig a hole then you
put three in the hole but three but this
place no because the people who are
helping you are more than like let's say
20 people are helping you you can't give
catas 20 to everybody so we have a stick
we design a stick like the mouth is
pointed uhhuh so you be using to hit the
ground like this like on the r like this
so that they will be putting the the SE
in it and then they'll be covering with
their legs if you put it
then yes that's how sure sure sure and
once I start I plant do I apply any
fertilizer do I apply
any or do anything here there we don't
for ok we we don't use fertilizer for
oku but the only medicine is for
the the the this thing the inant that be
disturbing that is the E that I said you
spray after planting so that that's once
I plant on the same that I plant or like
you can you can wait to the germinate or
if you don't have the time you can spray
it that and it depends okay really cause
any problem do not cause anything sure
sure sure you can spay on that day or 3
days or maybe you you you can allow it
to start germinating before you spray
all is okay go so once they start
growing what do I do to do anything in
the course of one they start growing you
see that it's like I planted small small
ones being inside this one like this one
you see this one like this this one
germinated before I planted this one
inside so you see because of it's small
and the we are around it I have to
spray okay uhuh if I'm coming to spray I
have to dodge it I have to take time so
that I can dodge
it so you don't spray on it so I don't I
don't spray on it because if you spray
on it it will die so if you are spray
you have to take your time and you make
sure the the medicine to does not touch
the stick we have some medicines if they
touch the stick to do it will not do
anything like sity to don't do anything
but the Karo that's gasu popularly known
if it touches the SE the Tre the plant
it to fall sure it will kill it it will
kill it yeah okay so fide I decide to
use is to make sure that it doesn't
affect affect the plant yeah okay okay
so iide is spraying so when I when I
start germinating when do I spray do I a
particular mon I or no no you can it
depends on you can ask this one like
this you can if you spray it's with you
are spraying so anytime you see that
there are wings on your font that you
don't want you can spray oh okay is at
own it's at own cost but do they really
affect the okr like that the weeds the
weeds that grow along does not affect
the crops actually but for you to be
watching the ground before you walk into
the okay okay that's important yes sure
sure sure and at least you guys okay you
can go ahead the the even if you you
plant a crops and then the whe are
plenty the the crop will not do well
because the plant and the we are
fighting about the nutrient yes so
that's always ins need to be neat so
that they can easily grow and then for
you two to be passing inside and not
stepping on them M it makes sense it
makes sense so at least once I PL OK
special attention do they don't need
special attention like that I don't
think does not have any main is just
come they don't have any special
attention Okay as you said in 3 month's
time can I come
back I said in 3 month's Time OK is
ready to yes and saying you can Harvest
for the next 3 months can you that for
us it depend on the seed your SE that
you plant to deter how long you harvest
them okay like I said me I always go for
angula seed
uhhuh so the angula seed I'll wait if I
planted the angular seed in
March April
May like if it keep 15th June I have to start
start
harvesting yes okay so June July August
September if more rain there it can even
enter October okay okay and this more water
water
is water okay if not you see small but
it will be very hard like it is
now okay but this if you should get
water it to be longer than this and
fresher than this okay okay okay nice
nice nice so if I grow OK in three
months time I ready and I can Harvest
for the next three months and as you
said the number five sack you can
Harvest like depending on how big the
farm is like say for the one AC how many
of the number five can I get if nothing
affected it like this one you can have
be harvesting two or three uh uh number
five every 3 days wow that's insane yes
and imagine if it's in the dry season oh
if dry you not get because where you not get
get
now you get get even the season you
still make money as you said you still
make money that that's insane that's
insane okay so you're saying earlier
that currently there are issues with the
someone watching us we say why is
your can you talk about that yes so this
last for the past three years that I've
been in farming I've never experienced
this thing before this year I don't know
and it is not only on my farm
everywhere everywhere everybody who is
farming can testify on what I'm saying
now the CRS are not doing well the leaves
leaves
change I don't know I don't know even I
don't know the the kind of disease that
affected it don't know it's everywhere
even this one C is fresher if you see I
have some here if you see it you cry
sure sure sure sure so yeah you wrap up
since the rain has become strong if
there's one last advice you give to any
new person going into OK farming what
what would oh okay my my new beginner or
new fresh somebody who is coming to farm
there please go for ok if you want to
start start with OK and look for Angola
seed that's all okay you can get the
spray machine you yourself you can be
doing small small in it before you you
can start with small just start with
small small small small before you it to
be big for you yeah and ok to nothing is
spoil everything is money even if the
dry one you get the seed the seed is 120
CS last year I so seed more than 5,000
Ghana CS seed only wow so if I don't
have my I can use that money to start
the farming that's
it yes so final way that's it so yes
it's ready
guys we in the rainy season now so now
now that the is coming so we need it
more more sure be fresher nice nice nice
nice nice so yes we'll end the video
