Your pepper farm business plan needs more detail about the land. Crucially, add a soil analysis (type, pH, nutrients) to determine suitability and amendment needs. Specify your irrigation plan (source, method, quantity) and sunlight availability. Describe the land's topography, existing structures, and previous use. Calculate the exact acreage needed for 100kg of peppers every 6 months, considering plant spacing and infrastructure. Clarify whether you'll lease or buy, including cost and terms. Detail necessary improvements (clearing, irrigation, greenhouse) and their costs. Quantify everything: plant numbers, water usage, fertilizer. Research realistic revenue projections for your pepper varieties. A detailed land assessment is essential for a convincing plan.
