One-Acre Watermelon Farming Business Plan for Kenya

One-acre watermelon planning kit

The one-cycle illustration uses 4,000 accepted fruits at KSh 100 each: KSh 400,000 revenue and KSh 60,000 operating result before KSh 220,000 setup. Fixed costs are KSh 120,000 and variable costs KSh 55 per fruit. Break-even is 2,666.67, so 2,667 whole accepted fruits meet the threshold. A 2,200-fruit stress case loses KSh 21,000. These are commercial sensitivities, not yield projections.

The guide records soil-test and site evidence, written buyer size/weight terms, harvested-to-accepted counts, lot damage and collection cash. AFA recommends soil testing before planting and accurate records for traceability. The nine-tab workbook is preserved unchanged.
