Hello there
I am Raymond the founder of Horticulture Spot website and experience. I have worked in the horticulture sector for 20 years to date. I have learnt a lot and have gained a lot of experience in the production of vegetables, fruits and cut flowers.
I am very fond of producing horticulture produce in a sustainable way that is good for the environment.
Industry experience
I was interested in horticulture very a tender age of 7 when my mother had a large garden that she grew a lot of vegetables for the market. I would help in almost all activities in the garden, This then prompted me to study horticulture in college.
My first job after college then shaped my destiny with horticulture industry. I worked for the Ministry of Agriculture as a Plant Health Inspector at the airport. This when I met a lot of farmers, a lot of horticulture produce for export, lot of expects in growing and marketing.
The position I held at the port of entry then inspired me to work on the farms where I gained a lot of experience in crop systems, irrigation systems, spray systems, labor management and post harvest technology.
Helping farmers both seasoned and newbies
My experience led to work with farmers on consultancy basis. In a lot of cases I would help establish horticulture farms from scratch up to marketing of produce.
I learnt a lot from other colleagues, farmers, consultants and mentors over the years and I am very positive that I can make a difference.
As I am developing this website, I am also studying towards qualification as a certification body auditor in charge of horticulture produce safety.
Working with farmers is my passion
The systems that I have learnt over the years, helped me to come up with an idea to start a website that help farmers. From a few square meter garden, to large estate horticulture growers can benefit on tips of how to grow high quality fresh produce in a sustainable way that is environmentally friendly.
I am also member of Wealth Affiliate an online platform that I am building a business with. You also too can be part of this business in any horticulture niche you can think of.
If you ever need a hand or have any questions, feel free to leave them below and I will be more than happy to help you out.
All the best,
Raymond T Kamota
