A lot more goes into growing tomatoes than meets the eye. The resources in this section will get new growers started.
Tomato production has the potential to be a profitable agribusiness for N.C. growers. The warm weather, diverse climate conditions and fertile land make North Carolina a prime location to grow many varieties of delicious, juicy tomatoes. The state isn’t 7th in the country in tomato production for nothing, and there’s always room for more growers!
However, new growers should be aware of the investment costs, market potential and cultural requirements before setting the first plant. The resources that will be outlined on this page should be helpful to those considering an entrepreneurial endeavor and those in their first year of production.
We are working to provide you with more information in this section. In the meantime, please refer to the Production & Management section tab for production guides, sample budgets and valuable cultural information. Check back often for new resources.
