20.08.2025: Tomatoes doing relatively great. / myLot

I am glad my tomatoes are already doing well and there are minimal incidences of pest and diseases. I am already selling some to neighbours at fair prices. I pick 3-5 tomatoes daily from my less than 10 plants, and since I live alone, this is definitely more than I can consume. I of course give my birds spoilt ones, and they enjoy them more than grains or mash. I have an estimate of 500 – 800 seedlings in my nursery. This figure is 100+ times the ones I am harvesting from. This tells me in black and white that if I put in good effort, I could be harvesting 300 – 500 tomatoes daily by mid-October this year. I think this is a good venture and I will strive to get the best out of it. Any practicable ideas how to best reap from tomato farming?

That's good that you have so many plants coming on. I don't really have any ideas on how to do better with them other than perhaps have a roadside stall or take them to markets.

@SIDIKIMPOLE I should imagine it's a good climate for growing tomatoes as long as you have enough water.

The demand of tomatoes is always growing . The process of producing them is complex hence very few people in my neighbourhood undertake tomato farming. As for my case, i do extensive research especially online and that is how I have a lot of hope in good results.
