hi am a new farmer interested in watermelon farming do you offer any trainig on the same.also what is the market like for melons in nairobi
Growing watermelon is simple. Once they sprout, watermelon plants require very little maintenance. Most of the time, you just leave them alone and watch them grow. There are many different varieties of watermelon. In recent decades, seedless watermelon varieties have been developed that are easier to eat. When most people think of eating watermelon, summer picnics come to mind – a nice, cold slice of watermelon on a hot day is a real treat. However, there are lots of other ways to use watermelon. Because it has a very high water content, it’s not possible to store watermelon for long periods of time.

Hello sir, Farmers Trend is an online agricultural portal. We connect farmers to various agribusiness activities within the Kenyan Market. We appreciate your mission among the Cameroonian youths and wish you all the best. In this regard, we are unable to connect you to grant givers in your country since we have no base or partner in Cameroon.
Good morning farmers trend, your work is impressive and highly educative. Am a first time small scale farmer and have benefited from the information in your portal. Am harvesting red onions, any market leads will be appreciated.
