hello good day to you i have been looking for ways to linkup with you that was just before the tsunami (of NL)
thank God for his mercies, please what is the procedure involved in leasing like 5-10 hectares pls
all info would be highly welcomed

i believe many farmers also would benefit from your services
thanks

carzim: am interested in leasing of about 5 hectares for the cassava farming
where is the location of the land (state)?

doctorisa: thanks for your comment sir leasing a hectare of land is 7500 a year minimum lease is now 3-5 yrs...this is so because of the stress you pass through in cutting down trees in the first year so you can enjoy the same land for long..

doctorisa: ogbomoso oyo state you can call me for extra details or you ask here

bawelat: pls try and be more detail the price quoted is it for an acre per year.tanz

2baga:

Thanks a lot there is a big difference btw the doers and the talkers #doctorisais a doer

it actually makes more sense for you to be able to retain your hold on a parcel of land you spent some good money to clear and maintain for much longer than just a single planting season. It helps you to plan ahead and even consider expansion for more productivity the following seasons.

you are a real gem.
so now for the benefit of those reading out there,

I need 10 hectares

1). 10 hectares X #7500 = #75,000
2). Survey fees (if applicable) = ?2000*10
3). Any agency fees = ?10%
4). Settlement of Baales (or is it govt land?)You don't need to settle anybody for this its a company land
5). Clearing of land (per hectare) = ? (i believe we can get tractors in the locality?)Tractor is 75k per day which is on a high side..uprroting of trees and clearing will cost you 8000 per hectare
6). Please how accessible is the land from the main road (is there a motorable road to the farm? )The farm is abt 5min drive from the main express
7). Please any other relevant info will be appreciated. You will need to plough apply herbicides,and buy your cassava stems with planting that's all

bawelat: pls what do u charge to manage a farm for a.year and what are the cost implication of planting cassava on an acre of land starting from the lease money including land clearing and any other misselanous or hiden cost tanz

doctorisa: ...what I state above apply for a acre of land...a acre of land planting TME419 should yield 10tons averagelly selling of a ton depends on season also..but within 14-22k. Management fee is 6k per month

maafen: pls how can ℓ get tђε̲̣̣̣̥ TME419 cassava stem am in Benue State.

doctorisa: to cultivate a acre of land leasing of land is 3k per year,uprooting and clearing of trees is 3500 , 1st and 2nd plough is 7000, application of herbicides 4000,survey 1000,buying of cassava stems per acre is 8000, planting 3500 ...what I state above apply for a acre of land...a acre of land planting TME419 should yield 10tons averagelly selling of a ton depends on season also..but within 14-22k. Management fee is 6k per month

Davedavy:

6k per month or 6k per stage? kindly clarify this.

kwammy5000: Hello house, good to see this forum is back. I have about more than one Acre of cassava farm ready for sell. Though I don't know the spec yet. Right now I need some1 to link me with good buyer of cassava, the farm is located at moniya ibadan.

Thanks

doctorisa: i was going through iita website and i saw this 3 specie UMUCASS 44, UMUCASS 45, and UMUCASS 46 which they say yield 36tons and above i believe they are research institute although i have not tried this particular specie but hope to do so in future it also contain vitamin A.....has anybody tried this particular specie lets here your view

SLIDEwaxie: dnt worry urself dr.isa, I av a direct link to mr. Peter who is charge of the cassava depatment. They only have tme 416, 2324, and 5032. Tme 419 is in abundant...2324 too could be arranged, but the the 5032 is has not been replanted.

And the TME 419 with 2324 are almost of the same yield.

Besides, from the price, it cld be concluded that labour is very cheap up there.
The only problem is the buying of a ton of cassava for 12k up there from middle men. It's rampart.

But with the MoU u jes signed, I biliv things cld change.
Thumbs up man

chukwuma101: Please how do we identify the 419 species. And how can we get the stalk/stem.
