Op thanks for this, i have been making little research on starting Cocoa farming on a small scale.

you shield more light to some grey area.

Gob bless

Ajascolove:
1. Site Slection: Get the best choice of land. 2. Prepare land very well. 3. Nursery Site Preparation: Plant cocoa on a deep, fertile, well-drained soil with adequate clay content. 4. Maintenance of Nursery: Immature seedling should be rejected. 5. Transplanting: Ensure that cocoa seedlings are five to sixx months old in the nursery at the time of transplanting.

Cocoa season is almost off, we are awaiting light crop after which the cashew season starts, then cocoa season resumes fully after the cashew season.

Where can I get the early-maturing, high-yielding and disease resistant cocoa beans seed? I lived @ Ilesa, Osun state. Thanks

Read it after Fasola mentioned in one of his recent talks. Awesome and powerful book. Wish we could replace every Bible in this country with that. That's the Israel we should hope to be like, not the nonsense the Bible offers.

@Vastfinder,

That is a nice write up but i can see from your write up that you are definitely not a practising farmer and most probably has never been to a cocoa farm before, if you are, you will know that the early maturing variety that we are taking about doesn't actually start fruiting in 18 months but will only flower and shed the flowers because the stem is not strong enough to carry about 30 to 50 pods of coca at that time and when it does start fruiting after the 3rd year only few percentage will bring fruit and then gradually increase, before you start enjoying cocoa farm you are looking at the 5th year, do you know how much it cost to maintain cocoa farm for 5 years. Let me break it down for you for the benefit of the people in this forum so they can have correct information before going into it.

Please note that this is based on 10 Acres

year one.

you will need to do the land clearing, the current rate is 45k

you will need about 3500 plantain suckers to use as cover crop and source of incoming while the cocoa is growing. sucker @ 50naira each =175k

Panting at 30naira per sucker (Digging is 20naira and planting is 10 Naira) =105k

planting of Cocoa at 30 naira per seedling (5000 Seedling on 10 acres) 150k

second weeding of the land around August is another 45k.

Tree killing to open up the canopy on 10 acres will cost around 50k depending on the area.

final weeding of the year will happen around November ending to allow air flow to the plant. 45k

the second year , you 'll need to weed it 3 Times @45k each =135k

You will need to use pesticide which we cost you at the between 2500 to 4000 naira per bottle and you will use at least 4 on 10 acres plus labour

it is general knowledge that average of 10% -20% of the seedling will die (if you are lucky) due to various factor like whether and bad patches of

soil etc, this will need to be replanted.

This will continue until you have a fully matured farm.

so how can you tell me that you'll start getting return on coca farm in 2 years ,i can tell you from experiencing that you don't break even on Cocoa plantation even in 5 years if you are lucky.

I'm not trying to rock your Boat, i just don't want people to get into it with a flaw advise and on assumption that you'll start making money in the second year.

Sorry if i step on your toes.
