What Is the Production Value Chain for Mexican Cucumber?

Producer 1 (Greenhouse (Nursery)) --- Producer 2 (Grow in the soil) --- (Domestic / US) Distributor/ Exporter --- End Buyer

Baby cucumbers grow in the nursery and are replanted and matured in soil, taking around 90 days from planting to harvest.

The Chronological process for Cucumber is the following;

1- Seeding process: Set the seed into the tray and wait 2-3 days to germinate.

2- When the Seed is germinated: Trays go into the nursery greenhouse and rest in beds. Plant spent 13-15 days approx, depending on weather conditions (Temperature and Relative humidity).

3- When the plant is physiologically ready (Strong root and two mature leaves) goes to be transplanted into the soil.

4- The time spent until transplant and the harvest will be 45-50 days depending on weather conditions (if the temperature is cold, the growth of the plant turns slow, and if it is hot, the plant grows will be fast).
