I planted some pawpaw trees in my compound, the yield was beyond my expectations, I decided to sell the fruits, keeping the proceeds untouched, at the end, I counted over #50k
Being surprised of the money realized, I decided to make it a bit commercial by adding more trees, I got over #120k.
The above two trials compelled me into Papaya production within the available spaces in my compound, today I make hundreds of thousands every harvesting period.
Note the followings;

1. Pawpaw has a lot of health benefit
2. The demand for it is very high
3. Few people grow the fruit
4. The tree die within 2 to 5 years depending on how it's being managed
5. The fruit can be grown from the seed or the stem.
6. Growing it from the stem gives quick result and high yield

Am going to reveal the secret; how to grow pawpaw from the stem

Here Pawpaw was grown from the seed

Growing from stem gives the picture below

Pawpaw grown from stem

Pawpaw is of three types
1. Female Pawpaw
2. Male Pawpaw
3. Hamophrodite Pawpaw

The male Pawpaw does not fruit or produce pawpaw. It has a medicinal value which makes it very useful in deworming animals including human beings. Where you get female Pawpaw planted without a male Pawpaw around it, the female Pawpaw can never fruit since no male is around to fertilize it

Picture of male Pawpaw

The female Pawpaw is the best if there is a male one around it. The yield is enormous. There are pawpaw fruits all over the tree since any female flower produced is always pollinated.

Watch the video below

The Hamophrodite Pawpaw has both female and male flowers in one pawpaw tree. This is good except that the yield is not as much as the female Pawpaw. There is always gaps in between the fruits

I need some response to continue

You are doing a good job sir. This should be on front page to encourage some people. This is very impressive.

kudos

So OP of I had like 5 plots of land and decided to use it all for pawpaw farming, how will I make sales after harvest? Is there like a centralised market for pawpaw where I take the produce to? or I have to source for buyers on my own? And how many trees do you think I can plant on a plot?

I just got an idea while reading your post, one can like even create some sort of elastic shield under each trees so when the a pawpaw or the leaves drops it won't litter the ground, or is there like a special benefits when the pawpaw and leaves drops to the floor and gets rotten?

I will get to marketing down the thread but from my over 8 years experience on pawpaw farming, you will not struggle to sell the fruits in Nigeria of today. People pay upfront at my own price to get the fruit. The market is there

Just like Coconut, the fruit I cherished so much which I will create separate thread for, pawpaw can produce continuously round the year by providing proper irrigation. Check out the low cost irrigation system below

During the pawpaw season, each cost between #300 to #400 to retailers and #500 to #800 to direct consumers depending on the size.
At off season, you will only be smiling while you make the sales because at this time availability is more important than the price especially to my white (Onyibo) customers

I make an average of #5000 per tree. 10 trees alone give over #50k

Should I continue?
I need your response if you're following

Following; please continue.

Inspiration.
Please continue sir. God bless you �

Please move ahead ahead, we dey your back

There are some secret you need to know in growing pawpaw. Am going to reveal them to encourage more youth into the business.
Watch the video for the banana secret below

The knowledge of pollination is very crucial to this business. Am going to send pictures of male and female flower to enable you distinguish male, female and Hamophrodite Pawpaw. This will help you in choosing the right variety and also enable you develop many hybrid

Please continue sir.

Do you know how i can get the VEGA F1 SEMI DWARF HYBRID PAWPAW?

This I have in my farm as a result of cross pollination

You're likely going to have different varieties by planting different species. Later you can promote the species that gives you better result.
This Vega F1 papaya variety has it's own problem example can easily fall if not well rooted and ed
