I agree with you that there are vegetables that last long while others get rotten so fast. So focusing on the long lasting vegetables is great.

I have a moderate size of unused garden so I'm thinking to grow some vegetables and sell it.
What is the best strategy to offer my product ? is it better to sell it raw as it is or convert it into a meal product ?

Happy to see general post here. Well it's good that you want to start your business. If you don't have any shop to sell vegetables then you can sell online.. it doesn't mean that you have to send parcels, you can promote your business online through social media.

If you don't have social media accounts then first create and then add people near by by searching online. Then you can share daily updates on your profile related to selling vegetables business.

If you are the one that planted the vegetable you must surely know the level of its freshness,there are so many ways which the vegetable can be preserve,but everything all depend on money if you have the need fund storage wont be an issue for you

Adequate storage facility is what most farmers lack and this is why most crops and vegetables are not available all through the year but with storage facility one can plant on big land .

yeah of course mate. As a farmer child, of course I know which vegetables wither quickly after being harvested or which vegetables are durable even at room temperature.

Vegetable business is a very nice business but before you starts, observe and know the kinds of vegetable people in your area demand most. Make a very beautiful vegetable gardens, take very good care of the garden so that the vegetables will look so attractive in customer's sight. How people buy on your first attempt determined the quantity to be carrying to the market for sale

I'm planning to start a fresh vegetable delivery business with a budget of $15K. Can you help me decide what's best to put the money into (transport, technology, etc.) and how/where to market the business (offices, residential, etc.)?

each country has different characteristics. If I have 15k dollars then I will use it to rent 1/3 of the land, then the rest is for capital investment with this technology and buy 1 vehicle for transportation.

Yeah the ñeigbours can be the first Port of call. They will like the vegetables fresh. So you can even bring up the idea of them booking in advance to get it very fresh whenever they need it

Year that is what I also think the nearby people are the people to call for the service first and let them know that you have such product to sell,they can be in need of it,you also need a good storage facilities to keep it fresh,my mum is into the business but sometime the cost of fertilization is always higher.the higher the cost of fertilization then higher the price of that product(vegetable).ready buyers sometime come to the farm to get it but you must first inform them about the service.

Look for a supplier first then a good place to sell the vegetables. Markets or Supply directly on house holds. Growing your own is the best though.

Yeah i think you would obviously need a supporter incase you are trying to move the vegetables to different zones and many customers would purchase it , so its not bad hiring a supplier

Yes there is nothing wrong by hire a supporter its a kind of business that need such help,you can even get that help from family members and freind ask them to support you if the vegetable is in large quantity.you can use yourself inform people about the service you are offering

I dont think its ideal to use a family member for such job , i think you could hire an outsider because they would take it more serious knowing fully well that you might sack him if he don't do the job well

We are in the same shoe,I dont also think that its ideal to do that some family member that you get to do this may even run away with your money,but geting an outsider to do that will make your business grow because some time he will think that you might sack him without notification,remember others are outside there searching for that opportunity so there must be some fear

I know that other people are outside waiting for such job to do and again it would be hard for you to sack your family member ,because they would think the person is wicked

I think its a hectic job if you are not aware of the business.
