ONE Acre Onion Farm EXPENSES in Just 7 DAYS… Shocking!

Описание: Join Efo Selasi as he visits Mr. Frank’s onion farm in Dawenya to explore the real costs, challenges, and potential profits of onion farming. In this detailed episode, Mr. Frank breaks down his expenses—from seeds and land preparation to labor, irrigation, and fertilizer—providing valuable insights for aspiring farmers.

🔹 Key Takeaways:

Seed Costs: 8,000 GHS for pre-nursed seedlings (Bariki & Marivi varieties).

Land Preparation: 2,000 GHS for plowing, bed creation, and leveling.

Planting Labor: 6,000 GHS (rates fluctuate based on demand).

Fertilizer & Irrigation: 4,400 GHS for fertilizer + 15,000 GHS for pump/shower irrigation.

Total Estimated Cost: 25,000–30,000 GHS per acre (excluding land).

Profit Potential: Triple returns if weather and market conditions align.

Challenges:

Labor shortages and price volatility during planting.

Weather risks (rain during harvest can spoil crops).

Market unpredictability—onions must be sold immediately post-harvest.

Success Story: Mr. Frank shares how a quarter-acre yield earned him 28,000 GHS last year, motivating him to scale to a full acre this season.
