26-year-old Selling coconuts is one of the lucrative businesses Ghanaians can start, according to Baba Rahman.
He claims that because of the nature of his work, many Ghanaians dismiss it; however, he makes more money from his coconut company.
He claimed that he earns at least GH7,000 per month and GH400 per day from the sale of 200 coconuts.
In an interview with Ambassador TV, the young entrepreneur who has been in company for three years mentioned that he started this firm after the passing of his father.
He emphasized that, at the time, he was in school and needed to work to support himself.
“My father died when I was in school so I ventured into coconut business to take care of myself. Majority of Ghanaians don’t value coconut business and sometimes they disrespect the coconut sellers but it is a profitable business,” Baba Rahman said.
“Sometimes I can sell 200 pieces of coconuts in a day and even if I sell it Ghc4 I will get Ghc800 just a day. I can make profit of Ghc300 within a day so within a month I can make not less than GH¢7000 from my coconut business,” he stated.
The 26-year-old further lamented how Ghanaians criticize their economy despite the fact that coconut vendors earn more than office workers.
He claimed that office employment was stressful and constrained because the majority of employees couldn’t establish a side business to supplement their income.
“Imagine a coconut Seller who is making GH¢5000 or GH¢6000 every month will any day choose coconut business over government work because how many government workers will take home GH¢5000 within a month,” he said.
