A 13-year-old schoolboy named Malik Aidoo, who makes a living from plucking and selling fresh coconuts to fend for himself, has opened up about his hustle.

The JHS form two student at Amuzu, near Obom in the Ga South Municipality in Ghana’s Greater Accra Region, has been selling fresh coconut to survive for the past two years.

JoyNews reports that he sells to save to support his education. Aidoo’s parents are in the Central Region, but he lives with some family members.

The youngster sells in a wheelbarrow and makes 2,589k on good days and 1,49k on days when business is slow.

Aidoo gets up early on the weekends to go out and find harvestable coconuts and bargain with owners before his week starts. He gathers the coconuts, the owners count them, and then they sell him the mature ones for 73.98 naira each.

The boy carries the coconuts and sells them to clients for N110. He intends to take a Business course in senior high school to advance his coconut hustle.
