I will like to ask the gurus in house if Onions cultivation will thrive well in the western part of Nigeria. I am looking at starting my vegetable farm very soon and would like any relevant information. Thanks

OP be honest. The truth is you are asking in event Nigeria break up.
Of course the a.bokis can have that as their export commodity.

Soil type, humidity and frequent rainfall are factors that wil greatly affect crops like carrots and onions cultivation down south

You are very funny ooo....Nigeria will never break apart in Jesus name
