Your @ button not working boss?

There's a Zimbabwean blue check mark account thats been spewing a lot of outrageous takes lately.

Before engaging, it might be worth remembering that it's December and bills are high😂

[Scorpio King♏ @Masethekid]

@takunick Agree fully. I also think scale of production is another factor. You can’t compete with someone who delivers 15T trucks weekly.

[Scorpio King♏ @Masethekid]

5T\ha for 400ha is being very modest though because no way this is not an irrigated crop.

[Collen Gura @gura_collen]

Farmers, another drought is here. Dams are almost empty. For some of us who grew maize, here is what you stand to gain: price $285/t, yield 5/ha, cost $1400/ha. From 400 ha you have total revenue $570,000, total cost $560,000. From all that, you keep only $10,000 as profit.

[Scorpio King♏ @Masethekid]

You are painting a false narrative of the realities of farming bro. I get what you’re trying to do but that’s just not it.

[Wenceslous Nyamupfukudza @wenceslous7]

@Masethekid What's the point here

[Scorpio King♏ @Masethekid]

Hameno. Maybe farming yavo iri straightforward because this is actually the reality for many farmers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Scorpio King♏ @Masethekid]

Farming isn’t a get rich quick profession neither is it a kiya kiya hustle. Farming is full time hands on. You can have Chivayo type money and still fail dismally. On average it’ll take you at least 5 years before you truly become profitable and the project can sustain itself.

# New Business || Looking and acting beyond agribusiness

Let's be practical for a minute. Comrades and friends,

If you were to start farming today, what size of land would you need? If you are someone like me with no connections, no brand, and no reputation ✨️

In most scenarios, people look at the size of land and not the size of ROI or the investment to begin with, but is this the best way?

What if we could consider one bold step at a time.

The immediate target is a shift from subsistence to commercial farming, "Farming as a business" will prosper families & nations.

Then, what's next?

Shift from Farming Business to Agriprenuership will now spur MORE exports value & economic growth.

Sometimes, all you need is just ½ hectare of land to do agricultural product processing & value addition!

But where do we start?

Right here!!👇

Zimbabwe exports about 290m kg of tobacco per year.

Just 2% of this is procesed locally, according to TIMB. Industry wants to increase this to 30% to boost revenue.

So, Cut Rag just built this new factory in Harare. Only 43,000m2! They say they invested $120m on expansion

Aesthetics and everything aside, paying $150 sharing per night for a location 20km outta Harare is nothing short of barbarism 😂😂😂😂😂

450 000 plants of the most popular cabbage variety in Zimbabwe Star 3311 "The Queen of Colour".🔥👌

[Scorpio King♏ @Masethekid]

Now from those 35k good head let’s remove another 7k damaged during harvesting and transportation. Which will further reduce their marketability.

Now you have 28k heads. From that if you sell ALL of them you’ll break even. Otherwise this is a wet dream.

[Scorpio King♏ @Masethekid]

50k heads of cabbages if planted on a hectare would result in baby cabbages. You’re most likely going to get 8-10c a head because of their size, Mbare will sell these for $1 for 5. From the 50k head planted you’ll probably -if your nutrition regime was good- have 35k good heads
