NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE HARVEST AND REVENUE
The varieties I have discussed about can yield 3-4kg of Habanero fruit
Let's say out of 1000, due mistakes e.t.c 800 survives and eaxh give 1.5kg (half of expecte
800x1.5 = 1,200
KG of Habanero in the market is ₦3000+ but let's use ₦2,500/
2,500x1200 = ₦3,000,000
If you remove your invested capital of ₦1,730,000 for the revenue of ₦3M, you have profit return of ₦1,270,000
NOTE:
1. The profit can be way more than that, but it is not as easy as it sounds, some can start and end with HYPERTENSION.
2. The whole process require deep knowledge, patience and resilience, it may take you 2 years to reach that level.
