This manual is for those farmers and individual who wish to start farming as a business. It will also serve as a useful document for Extension Agents wanting to support farmers making a transition from subsistence to commercial or semi-commercial farming. The decision to become a business farmer is not a light one and involves many variables and a lot of effort. With this guidebook, we hope to make the process in Pohnpei and Yap clearer so those interested in farming as a business will understand the work involved. For those willing to put in the effort, we hope this guide will ease the transition from interested party to agribusiness owner.
