How to make plantain farm a regular source of income

boluwajokosegun:

The following Nigerian states have the best comparative advantage for plantain and
banana farming:
Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Oshun, Ekiti, Edo,
Delta, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Imo, Bayelsa,
Abia and Ebonyi.

The domestic uses of plantain are:

Fried slices (dodo) and plantain chips .The industrial uses are plantain flour/bread,
cake/pancake,baby foods,wine,beer,dried flakes,biscuits and cookies.
Modern breeding has produced high yielding varieties

Two ways to do the business:
a) You can buy acres of land, drill bore hole, do land preparation, plant trees as wind
breakers and plant good grade suckers and secure the farm . You can intercrop with our
hybrid MELON so as to maximize the land (Integrated farming)
b) You can go for government land available for lease all over Nigeria. The lands are
managed by the various River Basin Development Authorities across Nigeria, they
can help you to prepare the land with their lease tractor and they also have irrigation
facility, plant trees as wind breakers and plant good grade suckers and secure the
farm. You can intercrop with our hybrid MELON so as to maximize the land
(Integrated farming)
If you need land for agriculture, government land is available for lease all over Nigeria.
The lands are managed by the various River Basin Development Authorities across
Nigeria.
For the lands managed by the Ogun- Oshun River Basin Authority, which covers
Lagos, Ogun, Oshun and Oyo States, they have offices in those states where you can
go to pay N2500.00 per acre of land per year.


If you are one of those looking for salary jobs in today's Nigeria, or you have just one
sources of income, please stop that madness. Go pay N2500.00 for a hectare of
land for Cassavaa/plantain farming.

There are two benefits to you:
One, you buy at a cheaper price than you will if you buy during the planting season.
Two, you will not wait 12 months from planting to harvest. If you are a starter,
ensure that you are buying the improved variety sucker and buy from the right
sources. Do not be deceived to buy the local variety sucker if what you want is the
improved variety sucker.
The beauty of the plantain plant is in its ability to reproduce itself in geometric
proportions. A healthy plantain plant can reproduce about 5 suckers around it which
means that one plant has produced another 5 plants.
Therefore, you will not have to buy fresh suckers for planting for the 2nd year and
beyond. There are three benefits to you. First benefit is that you won’t be buying fresh
suckers for planting in the 2nd year
Second benefit is that you can sell the suckers while waiting for the harvest of the plantain
bunches from the existing plants. Thirdly, you can transplant the suckers on another
plot of land which means that your farm is expanding without buying fresh suckers.

There are two types of suckers in Nigeria – the local variety and the improved variety
sucker. The local variety sucker takes about two years to mature from planting to harvest
while the improved variety takes one year. The local variety generally has lower yields
and more disease-prone, while the improved variety has higher yields in terms of fingers
per bunch, size of the fingers and the sweetness of the fruits.
The improved variety brings faster returns on investment than the local variety sucker. The
improved variety comes in different grades that indicate the level of improvement.
Always go for the latest improved variety sucker. If you are a starter, go for the
improved variety sucker.
However, note that the improved variety sucker is costlier than the local variety
sucker.
When the planting season commences, at the start of the rains, the improved variety
sucker costs about N120.00 to N150.00 per sucker even from official sources. The
demand for the improved variety sucker is high.

10 acres available for sale at 550k .

Is this still available? Where is it located

Yes still available in Ikire call 08120528950

Plantain is in abundance now, even then farmers still make money but you can make more money by adding value to your products

I am interested. With 55K/acre, how much is required to cultivate 10 Acres including your management fee or better put, can you give a Cost-Benefit Analysis/Report for 10 Acres including management and Sales Fees.

boluwajokosegun:

DO YOU HAVE INTEREST & INVESTMENT CASH BUT NO TIME OR NO GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF FARMING, THEN OUR COMPANY CAN SET UP THE FARM & ALSO MAINTAIN THE FARM OR MANAGE THE FARM WITH YOUR STAFF FOR A FEE. Anything you touch in agriculture is gold if you are ready to be patient.

Oh, wow! Agropreneurship does not mean one has to literally work on the farm, is this right ?
Not necessarily, in fact it applies to all business. What is great about entrepreneurs is their uncanny ability to see opportunities where others did not but most times entrepreneurs do not have the technical ability to make this opportunity into money. They usually have to hire the technical expert.


Money! Money!! Money!!! Seems to be what everybody seeks, unfortunately, not everyone knows the way of getting rich. Thus, the statement "THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GETS POORER" is true, not because the rich has money and the poor does not, but because of the inability of the poor to recognize opportunities each time they come around, what is the meaning of Poor? It’s simply P-Passing, O- Over, O-Opportunity, R-Repeatedly. So they stick to the old pattern of living & keep on managing their way through life forgetting that the world is changing really fast from the industrial age into information Age. Talent and education are not enough. Determination and perseverance are very important.Mentorship & team spirit is the new thing.

Hello Farmers and stakeholders in the house.

It's been a long time I have check this thread.
Just to make plantain farming more friendly to invest into and also able to solve water challenges on a plantain farm. I device a means of using gun sprayer with a 13hp water pump machine. I sourced for the gun sprayers abroad and build other needed parts here locally. Reason being that I need to save freight cost and price cost. I will be testing the gadget on the field tmr. I believe this will be a cheaper product to invest into. I will get back with pictures from the field tmr. This is also a plan to start planting suckers by January on a new client farm so that the fruit can meet the next dry season for higher profit
Don't starve your plantains and other crops with water... Provide irrigation as soon as possible
Next year weather may be worst than this year.

Pls how much is the 13hp water pump nd is it fuel or diesel engine. Waiting for the pic

The water pump is powered by diesel. The price for it depends on buyer and seller, I mean bargaining spirit. It wasn't easy getting this one at the rate of 95k cos the sellers are complaining of naira fall as the hike in price. Most of the sellers peg it around 120k.
Just to give additional info... Pls do not look the capacity on the label attached the pump, check the manual cos a lot of those sellers do print those things and place them on the pump thereby defrauding buyers....

As I have earlier decided to get bk on the performance of the gun sprayers... It was tested on Tuesday but I had challenges and was unable to use it efficiently. The first challenge was that the water source tank is too small(3000litres). I also noticed that the deeper the depth of water source, the higher the performance of the pump and gun sprayer.
The second challenge was that a stand from the tripod broke at the point where it was welded.
Now.. The performance of the gun sprayer
Due to the shallow depth of the tank... It still spray to a radius of 15-20m but I believe when all things have been corrected, it will reach a minimum of 30m radius.
Another thing I noticed was that it was spraying water in form of dew and rain as the whole diameter covered was filled with wet soil. Moreover, something that resembles rainbow colour was formed in the dew like real rainbow in the cloud.
Am still going back to the field to perfect the work as am on the drawing table. For those that need it, I wouldn't want to quote price now cos its under testing and also for ways for the gun sprayer to give its best work. Also considering the local materials involved cos along the line, some may not be needed.
I will keep updating
Happy eid-el-malud
Merry Christmas and Happy new year in advance

...... Do Agric, It pays

A lot of people would have made ‘new year resolutions’, set goals, etc, so many are expectant that this New Year will birth something new for them. The truth is, things don’t change except you change. 
You cannot pour ‘new wine’ into old wine skins, so also we cannot expect things to be new when we ourselves are still our old selves. No doubt, there is greatness ahead of us in 2016, so many prophecies have been released, but the truth is the prophecies will not just happen automatically, the prophecies represent ‘new wine’, and so we need new wine skins to hold them. 
As we proceed into 2016, we are being challenged to look inwards and begin to change from the inside out, you have hitherto highlighted problems with others and your society, what about highlight your own ‘issues’ and begin to work towards a change, the truth is people and situations will change when you change. 
Decide to be more prayerful, to study the bible more, to love others more and be tolerant, make up your mind to be compassionate and kind, decide to save more and spend less, invest rather than spend, improve or learn new skills etc. 
Start today by taking a step towards becoming a ‘new you’ and inevitably, this New Year 2016 will indeed produce ‘newness for you in every area of your life

nice work bro how much does it finish it ooooooooooooooooo both the hose, raingun and petrol type water pump machine.

the rain gun goes for 50k without its stand and knot screw. i did this manually here at owode onirin. i did the stand for and knot screw for 8k(this depends on bargaining power.
the rubber hose (3 inch,5 bar) goes for 25k...it also depends on bargaining power
the petrol water pump machine (5.5hp) is within 25-30k. i used diesel engine water pump (13hp)... i got it at 95k (the price do move with dollar to naira exchange rate).
.....with about 115k, you can get the whole equipment working. i still have gun sprayers for sale
