Vegetable Farming in Zambia: Growing Green Pepper from Transplant to Harvest

[@nsajimwasege68]

Learning a lot from you! Advice: Green pepper is one of very resilient crops, as long as it has not been brought down by any calamity it can always recoup and come back to productivity! Dont give up, the damage is just temporary, keep on feeding, it gonna come back!

Thank you for sharing am always inspired watching you Sir.

[@mondofarms4343]

Glad to hear that

[@berekettilahun542]

from Ethiopia, I saw almost all of your videos as well panuka farm(as per your reference). this is a very lucrative input. we are on the way to join the sector, hopefully. we wait for more videos and to make more details on input, out put . The reservoir effectiveness and how is the result. we did not seen your video on reservoir after the construction. best regards and good luck.

[@mondofarms4343]

Thanks and all the best as you enter the agricultural sector. We rarely, if ever, mention amounts. That is not the kind of channel we want. Our aim is to share the journey and experiences. Other channels give more details of budgets, costs, etc, if that is what you want No, we didn't feature the reservoir much again. It's been working well. Our focus in recent months had been on connecting mains power to Kimberley. And putting up the first greenhouse.

Thank you for this info Sir

[@mondofarms4343]

Most welcome

[@OneNamo-tf1on]

Thank u Sir for your wisdom. Am requesting for a video in how you account for your farm; please also share how you managed to cultivate your lands back then before you started using tractors?

[@mondofarms4343]

Noted.

[@unathibooi4821]

Greetings from South Africa Thanks for all the information i will definitely have bigger peppers this year. i will pinch out the first little fruits for bigger fruit. Can i use green sulf fertilizer in the early stage of pepper development, then introduce 3-1-5 fertilizer later on?

[@mondofarms4343]

You're most welcome, and I'm glad it was helpful. Regarding the fertiliser, Omnia Greensulf is superb top dressing fertiliser, and that is what we use it for. I strongly advise you get detailed advice from an agronomist about fetilier usage. I'm sure that your local Omnia outlet has one available to consult. We have gained a lot from consulting the agronomists at fertiliser companies. All the best.

Another banger...

[@jonnymutasa8035]

i love you guys😭😭😭

[@mondofarms4343]

Thank you 😊

[@prudencemulenga1582]

How big is that portion of your pepper field?

[@mondofarms4343]

The actual area planted is 0.2ha (60m x 35m) and it had a plant population of 5,320.

[@ChisengaMatutu]

How about mid stage pruning and fruit balancing

[@mondofarms4343]

Indeed

[@ssebuddeibrahim9830]

Great content. Tyson needs a better camera tho

[@travelnman]

Where o you sell your produce?

[@mondofarms4343]

We sell our produce to a mix of open market, supermarket offtakers, and some vegetable aggregators. It all depends on the product, supply and demand, the season, payment history and promises kept, cash flow issues, etc.

[@michaellaryea2173]

Please where do you get your shade net?

[@mondofarms4343]

We bought that shade cloth from a local manufacturer in Lusaka. We avoid giving away too much free advertising and have now started with brands for promotion of their products and services.

[@mayanjasadiiki]

I have got a lot but I have a problem some diseases and black bud

[@mondofarms4343]

You should get some help from an agronomist. Most reputable agrochem companies and agro dealers employ them to help customers. Over the years, I have learned a lot from them.

[@alfredasinclair1277]

What about a temporary green house ❤

[@mondofarms4343]

Interesting idea. It has certainly worked out for some as they start their farming journey. The most important thing is to decide how "temporary" the structure should be. 1 year, 3 years, 5 years?

[@ChisengaMatutu]

Where do you get farmer loans

[@mondofarms4343]

No farmer loans per se. The company is not yet able to get bank loan borrowing. So since the beginning, we have just been borrowing from all possible sources in our own personal capacities to then pass the lending to our company. Mondo Farms owes my family a lot of money, which it is working to pay back over the next xx years. Of course, the company and it's owners are separate entities. We always make sure to keep detailed records of all loans made to the company.

[@saulambafikoloma3732]

​@@mondofarms4343... interesting... i will adopt this.

[@prudencemulenga1582]

Kindly show us how to balance the fruits. At least give us an illustration

[@mondofarms4343]

Thanks. We will do that.
