Growing vegetables can be a great way to make money. If you're just starting out, though, you may need to take some time to figure out how to grow your crops correctly, as well as how much of each crop you want to grow. You'll also need to learn how to get your crops from the farm to the supermarket.

If you want to make money through vegetable farming, start by growing a few different types of vegetables like lettuce, onion, spinach and carrots in your backyard or on a small plot of land near you. Once your crops are ready for harvesting, sell them at local farmers markets or grocery stores. You can also sell them online by setting up a website where people can order fresh vegetables directly from your farm!
You can also try growing other types of vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers if those work better for your climate conditions or personal preferences.

If you don't have any space in your yard or nearby fields, look into community gardens where people rent plots of land from farmers who live there. This will allow you to grow more than just one type of vegetable without having access to extra acreage on which it would otherwise sit unused all year round.

One can really make good Money from growing vegetable. But before that can be achieve one need to put some things in place before investing in the business.
(1) Make sure that you get a good and fertile land . You need this because its not all the land that one can just plant vegetable and will yield very well.
(2) There must be availability of water in the place because vegetable needs enough of eater to grow and if this is lacking there may be lose after all.
(3Proper security of life and property must be intact because ; one might have planted the vegetable and latter the animal like cow may eat it up or one may be kidnap while in the farm.

@Mataracy You are so right about this, one cannot just grow vegetables anywere especially when it's commercial system of agriculture, though such crops might survive, but not yield well.

Insecurity as you mentioned is part of what we are facing at the Northern and Eastern region of Nigeria, at present. The rate at which crops are destroyed by cattles and cattle rearers is alarming, some even get worst from people losing their hard labored crops to losing their lives. i strongly suggest one should should consider security such as fencing or robotic scare crow if the money is available, this will help in preventing or scaring away intruding animals and pest from the farm land.

Vegetables production can be a very lucrative business because you can make a lot of business out. We all know that almost every doctor or dietitian recommend vegetables to be added to our diet. Add vegetables to your every day diet is a good way to remain healthy and therefore vegetables are used in almost every days life.

If am not mistaken, I believe before you can even think of planting, you should at least have some basic skills and knowledge in agricultul, cause you can't just go into something you have little to no idea about.

I am always interested whenever I see prospects about business opportunities that is being created in the agricultural industry . In this country for example a lot of people have abandoned the agricultural industry because they think that it is too dirty and it is not their field . This is not true because agriculture forms a very good part of the economy as it is essentially part of the everyday life .

Cultivating vegetables is a very good way of getting into the agricultural industry and making money but there are some things that you need to consider .

First of all you should be able to determine the kind of vegetables that you want to sell and it is okay for you to choose a wide variety if you can be able to produce it at a healthy way.

You shouldn't look for a place where you can be able to cultivate them and it is advisable that it should be near to the market and it will be very fertile with bioavailable nutrients .

I think perhaps the most important thing that you need to consider is how fast you can be able to sell them and as such a supply stock usually a residential area should be in tabs.
