Fruit farming is a profitable business that has evolved over the years from small-scale backyard gardens to a global industry. Starting a fruit farm comes with challenges but can be a profitable business venture. Aspiring entrepreneurs can either choose to start small- or large-scale fruit farms depending on their financial status or add value to fruit items to reach markets with their own brands.
