Agrifirst - Farmers First
The crop you choose is not just a farming decision. It is a business decision.
Before building or planting, ask a few practical questions: Does the crop fit your site? Can your team manage it? And can you reach the right buyers?
🌱 Start with suitability.
Check local growing conditions. Assess water quality and availability. Understand buyer demand before planting.
Then look at the crop itself.
🥒 For cucumber, plan the crop and harvest together. Understand the buyer's preferred fruit size and grade, and consider whether your team can manage regular picking. Variety selection should be discussed with local agronomy guidance.
🫑 For capsicum, start with what the buyer wants—green or coloured, along with the required grade. Then consider hybrid suitability, crop duration, training, nutrition and monitoring.
The crop name is only the beginning. Variety selection matters too.
Climate fit, buyer specifications, planting-material source and seedling quality all need to be considered before ordering plants.
At Agrifirst - Farmers First, crop planning starts with looking at the bigger picture—not simply choosing a crop, but understanding how the crop fits the farm, production plan and market.
And don't plan only for the first harvest.
Think about the planting window, harvest timing, labour, sales and the time required to clear and prepare the site for the next cycle.
The right crop starts with the right questions.
Swipe through the carousel to explore how to approach crop selection for your farm.
Which factor would you check first: site, water, variety, team or market?
