I have also heard about this Greenhouse tomato farming. Does anyone have explicit facts about;

1. Cost of investment assuming you have 0.5 acre piece of land and borehole water.

2. Which variety and expected yields.

3. Market,bearing in mind the perishable nature the fruits?

I hear there are people who buy Tomatoes locally and market outside the country,same way like vegetables such as French Beans. I have some green houses with almost ready Tomatoes and looking for a market for them. Any one with any contacts? Even a local market will suffice. Thanks.

What was you game plan?Where had you intended to take the tomatoes before you embarked on the project?

when it comes to greenhouse cheap and secondhand uv paper does not compute.

Just buy UV paper direct from manufacturers or stockits, Asmami next to Globe bus stop, elgon industries or talk to amiran.
