Charles has 7 acres of land and he has 5 permanent workers. He grows bananas and has 300 plants. He harvests about 8 bunches per week from 1 acre. He has chicken and goats.
He has 4 cows, but they’re milking only one cow and are getting 12 litres per day. One is in calf, but we need to see how they’re preparing it for birth. He didn’t know anything about drying for example.
He grows tomatoes on one acre and will be planting new tomatoes mid-June. They supply tomatoes and bananas to the big hotels in the area.
