ARE FARMERS RICH?
www.myagricworld.com
Can Agricultural Business or farm work Alone make you wealthy As Dangote/Adenuga

If you go into agriculture from the scratch with little capital as will have said, in NIGERIA? You would even be struggling to pay your bills talk less of living above average, talk less of becoming a millionnaire and talk less of being a Dangote and Adenuga, Who told u those 2 guys are farmers in the 1st place? www.myagricworld.com
You will be making common mistakes if you call Dangote a farmer, Dangote is an Agri-businessman not a farmer.... to view know my opinion on this Question... visit the link below www.myagricworld.com ..

Jasper, You are indeed a genius.... I have been following your thread silently from day one. like what was preached in church today, Jasper "You are in Purpose" n I love all you've been doing. God will CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU n You will NEVER experience anything "lack" I'm really impressed n encouraged n also envy You. I practically started my farm after reading much from this forum, I plant fluted pumpkin leaf n it has been my source of income that foots my school fees n other bills with little support from my family. I'm in HND1 now n hoping to expand my farm n grow other vegetables before rounding up with studies. I will be glad to see you live one day. Thanks to You n others like world1, jethro, kalusam who hv contributed to my life...... Pls keep d good work up. God Bless You all.

I am humbled that I have been able to impart in your life. and also excited about your fluted pumpkin testimonial. what is the size of your farm? do you use irrigation on it? I love to see young people making money from vegetable farming.

from your narrative, am believing your land is in ogun. I heard the locals can be very unreasonable and sometimes aggressive. a friend of mine just had similar experience. Try and sort it out with them first, if not whatever project that goes on there is in jeopardy.

No.... Edo state

Where are we? Can we progress?

saliubello:
Where are we? Can we progress?

yes o.. sorry, network in saki is just horrible.. it has been a battle all along. we tried planting without mulching film but the area is very vegetative and the grass grows like hybrid. and we have to weed every 3 days. we decided it's not worth the stress, so we decided to mulch.

But our test project has grown and is fruiting. I'll upload the pictures soon.

cannot wait for first harvest. the crops have been through a lot. especially with pest invasion. but our experienced hands on the field were able to handle it. no we know what to look forward to in the bigger project, that's why it's always good to have a test plot or pilot project

Please treat asap.

1.Can mulching film be used without staking?
2. can use manure with mulching film. how is it applied?

Remember this project in Ago Amodu? well, this project was almost abandoned by the organizers after the challenges of Labour. but from the harvest from our test plot, they have decided to push it through. If you want to succeed, you can't Let challenges pull you down. Thanks to Jethro2, Kalusam and the team for proving this

What is the land size of the project and how many tonnes is the harvest?

Pavore9:


What is the land size of the project and how many tonnes is the harvest?

oga, the total planted area is about is about 1500 square meter and the harvest was roughly 650kg.

Although because of the new specie and the big size and the light green colour. The product has not gained general acceptance in Lagos and Ibadan. People don't like what they don't understand. It calls for aggreasive marketing. But those have accepted it, buy between 100-150 per kg. we are opening a larger market for the variety.

jasper7:

oga, the total planted area is about 2 and a half plots and the harvest was 650kg

And what is the average selling price per kilo? ls each plot 50 by 100?

Ok. l wanted to work with the calculation of open field as against the greenhouse cucumber farm run by some Rev. sisters l worked with recently. They had about 6 greenhouses each measuring 120 square metre and from each they harvest an average of 205kg per week and supply to a supermarket chain store @ N95 per kilo.
