For those that are looking for feasibility studies, I can prepare comprehensive one for you or you get it from any other source but from experience "not all feasibility studies are feasible".

Happy new year to all, I like to first and foremost appreciate every contributor to this section in the years gone by. For those prospective farmers this is the period of land preparation clearing etc, Those that are planning to use heavy duty machines should consider the soil aeration ,Also if you are doing more than 50 Acres it advisable to to analyze the soil to ascertain the suitability of your land for oil palm, We should not forget to put in perspective quality of products you are buying, It will be effort in futility if your palms are sterile Buy from the right source.In my next discurssion I will educate us on how to identify genuine seeds and seedlings from fake. For those that have already purchased nuts for their nursery try to minimize evarporation if water is in limited quantities ....For a comprehensive business proposal on oil palm plantation...(Everything) 08051238707

I have been hearing lots of people, talking about different types of Agricultural produce they can plant or would want to plant, But what i have not seen on these forum is for someone to really come out and tell us, all the stress, difficulties, ups and down he/she went through before setting up there plantation.

I want to start by saying i have managed to secure mine self 13 plots of land. Each plot is a 100 by 100 feet. i want to start up an oil palm plantation. I have been able to buy 1755 oil palm Nursery from NIFOR. My story goes like these.......

Each oil palm nursery cost 150 Naira
Loading of each oil palm Nursery inside the vehicle is 20 Naira each
I paid 50,000 to convey the goods from IMO state to Ibusa Delta state.


On getting to the farm, the vehicle could not get to ibusa on time, the vehicle got to ibusa around 9.30pm. So the vehicle had to park in the house for the night. The next morning the journey to the farm began around 6.30Am, on getting to the entrance of the farm, the vehicle could not go in, because of poor road network. The vehicle managed to drive in but as the vehicle drove in, some sticks punctured one tire. So we had to off load the hold oil palm nursery on the ground. So we hard to go hire a pick up van. The van owner charged us 6,000 to convey the nursery to a location closer to mine own farm because there are other people farm in front of mine farm. now after that, i had to call the Hausa boys to use there wheelbarrow to convey the nursery to the farm, they charged 24,000. na wa ohhhh

Now the next stage is for me to plant. My mum's brother did one of these Agricultural causes is school, so he is a professional when planting oil palms.

We used a spacing is 8.7feet. you heard me clear, 8.7 feet. while they where doing the measurement, you know when planting oil palm, you have to do pegging, some hard roots was sitting on the sport where he was suppose to plant the oil palm, there was so much roots on the ground, we called the Hausa people again, they charged me 30,000 to uproot all the hard roots. so work continued. As am specking now, they have finished planting the 1755 oil palms. They would be buying more 200 palms because its like the land is more bigger than with i was told.

While am putting these here is for the new people that wants to go into farming. People, if you must go into farming, you must have money..... The more you go into it, the more unforeseen issues comes, and if you don't have cash to solve the issue immediately, your work would be suspended.

Also it does not end in just planting, there are still lots of things to be done before the said three years when you would starting harvesting.


So far so good, i have don't lots of mistakes in setting up mine oil palm plantation. If i have read some post that advices one on NL about setting up Oil palm plantation, i would not have made these silly mistakes.

if you are setting up an oil palm plantation.

Never you buy expensive lands.
Buy from NIFOR in your State not from outside your state
Let there me good motor able rood, so the vehicle conveying the palms can go into your land direct.
Make sure there is know roots in the ground that would disturb when planting


I would update later when more things comes into mine head
I wanted to know how to grow a palm kernel from seedling stage

Oil palm plantation is capital intensive, first you must have a good land that is accessible to vehicle,.Depending on what you want to start with, You can start with 500 but buy quality planning material from NIFOR( not agent) You can decide to raise the nursery yourself or buy the one that are ready for planting. If you are doing more than 5 hectare I advised you do soil analysis to determine the suitability of your land for oil palm plantation,. Having done all of the above, You will mark your plot, the essence of this is to determine the diameter of your palms. I don't subscribe to using heavy machinery during clearing this I have explain before in my earlier write up. From here on you do your planting ...All things being equal your crops will start to produce b/w 30-38 months of planting ie if Properly cared for.....
The procedure is.. as follows
Get your seeds plant them into Polly bags for 6/7 months.
You can order for NIFOR hand book for details explanation... or contact me for details 08051238707..Hope this will help.

I have address this issue before, NIFOR has no partner, any body Posing as an agent to NIFOR is fake, NIFOR has outlets spread across the country for easy access, if you are interested in good quality sprouted seeds your best bet is NIFOR, I can help any interested buyer.

Pls how do I get a yr old Tenera nursery here in Ibadan?? Does NIFOR has any outlet in Ibadan?? If yes pls where in Ibadan??

As answered. NIFOR has no outlet (s) in Ibadan but you can make enquiries at OYSADEP, NIHORT, FRIN or Moore Plantation. Check these government establishments not individuals (not even the staff of these estabs). Better still find your way to NIFOR Benin City, Edo State.
