Growing maize as a business.

in Steem Cameroon3 years ago

Hello dear stem members , hope we are all doing well.Today I like to share about maize.
As the climate is fast changing farmers are also changing to improved crop species that are more adaptive to the changing climate. Panar is one of the species that is highly cultivated by farmers because it gets really faster and can be planted many times in one year.Panar Is a kind of maize that people in my community commonly eat mostly by roasting. It grows well in normal sunshine and rainy conditions.
it grows best during the rainy season which start in March or in July during the second half of the planting season. it is commonly eaten by lots of families because they believe in the nutritional content of the maize

These attractive cobs are the best sizes for roasting

Other people prefer it's flour to cook and eat with vegetables . it is one of the crops that is highly lucrative in the agricultural sector in my community. A lot of people choose to buy and sell fresh corn because many people keep consuming the roasted one as often as they set their eyes on it. The business of selling corn or roasted maiz, has Boasted the entrepreneurship attitude of some young people knowing that it is a lucrative business to deal with, some of them prefer to only cultivate and sell prefer to only buy a roast boil and sale. it's only weakness is ,that weevils attack it very easily. it is hoped that they can find an organic pesticide that can be used to fight the wevils so that more farmers can grow the it.thank you for reading.

Since I grew up, I just knew working maize was just to make corn flour and not to sell but as a farmer I have observe selling most especially fresh maize is a great income generating activity
