With the skyrocketing prices of staple foods, fruits and vegetables, crop farming at this time will ensure a farmer capitalise on the current price appreciation to make huge profit.

And as  eateries and other hospitality outfits continue to spring up,  the demand for vegetables, pepper, onions, cat fish, and so on, at this time, is higher than the supply, hence, will make more profit unlike during rainy season.

Dry season farming starts between October and March, hence, interested investors still have time to catch-in on this farming.

Since such farming will require getting labourers who will cultivate the land and planting the crops, it is indirectly creating jobs and wealth for some people.

According to Tunji, a lecturer in Osun State, Nigeria, investors should depend on feeding the planted seeds with regular water and irrigation systems to water their farms to make them grow and fresh.
