Cost Implication For The Cultivativation Of 1 Hectare Of Cassava Production. by Agrotrust: 6:59pm On Feb 15, 2017 |
Dear all, the cost of cultivation of cassava varies from location please find out about the actual price in your location. this is just a guideline as the farming season draws close [center]LAND PREPARATION FOR CASSAVA[/center] Ploughing: this is the primary tillage to loosen or turn the soil. PLOUGHING (single operation)/ acre = N4500 2.5 acres = 1hectre : N 4500 *2.5= N11, 250/hectare HARROWING: is an implement for breaking up and smoothing out the surface of the soil. This operation is very important as far as cassava cultivation is involved. The more the soil is loosened, the better the chances of having large cassava roots. HARROWING (single operation)/ acre = N4500 2.5 acres = 1hectre : N 4500 *2.5= N11, 250/hectare PLANTING MATERIALS 1 hectare requires 60 bundles of cassava stems 1 bundle of cassava stem cost N 350 Therefore, 1 ha/60 bundles will be N 350* 60= N21, 000/ha FIELD OPERATIONS Planting: cost of this operation /ha = N10000 Spraying of herbicides: 1 ha requires 4litres of chemical X @ 1500 each (N6000/ha) 4litres of chemical Y @ 2500 each (N10000/ha) N16000 Per Ha Weeding First weeding occurs 6-8 weeks after planting and the price is area dependent 1 ha cost N20, 000 Second weeding Occurs at Months after planting. Depending on the nature of the farm; if weeding is still necessary, it will be done but if a canopy producing variety is cultivated, chemical spray will be preferable. In-case of chemical weeding, 1 ha = N6000 Labor = N5000/ha Third weeding If it would be necessary, it surely will be chemical weeding. In-case of chemical weeding, 1 ha = #6000 Labor =# 5000/ha 9 Likes 1 Share |

If one decides to plant maize with the cassava, is it still the same process |

codedruns2: Profit calculation based on one hectare calculation (1ha) A virgin land produces about 25 to 28 tonns/ ha @ 15,000 to 17,000 Let’s say about 26 tonnes x 17,000 = 442,000 expected sale expected sales - expenditure = profit 1 Like |

coputa: From what the OP post, I can see the profit is above 50% assuming the yield is close to his predictions. What business do you think you can have above 20% profit legally? Are you aware that profit can be higher if the cassava is processed into garri or other products? Value addition is key in Agric. Don't be lazy! 18 Likes |

more profit can be made from cassava if you can process your cassava yourself into finished product such as gari, flower, starch, chips if u have the capital to acquire cassava processing equipment 4 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Cost Implication For The Cultivativation Of 1 Hectare Of Cassava Production. by Agrotrust: 5:00pm On Feb 19, 2017 |
laosam09: do you have plantain farm?, plantain is very lucrative and profitable your expected income will be determined by the yield of the plantain and availability of market, you can sale per kilo or per bunch it depend on your target audience a kilo sales for around #100. if you are cultivating plantain you are advice to plant hybrid plantain that has high yield so that your harvest will be bulky. |

RealityShot: kolewerk the cassava taps nutrients from the root zone so also the plantain, the compeition will be humongous the cassava and plantain have very close harvesting period, the competition from day 1 to harvesting will cause stress. They both dont go together at the same time on the same land space. Maize with cassava is better 4 Likes |

No one is adding cost of harvesting which can be arround #3000/ton Also accessibility of farm and transportation of harvested products should be factored in before talking of profit. 5 Likes |

nurey: Sir, u are very correct, but for intercroping cassava with maize it not always advisable cos of the yield of cassava, maize will affect the yield of cassava, maize has a fibrous root |

Agrotrust: As I used to know, Maize can be interplanted with cassava as Maize is a nitrogen fixing plant because of nitrobacter that accumulates in the nodes of the root (have forgotten the agric term) it's something I have done before and believe it can be done but it now depends on the level of farming the individual intends to adopt. In mechanized farming, it's a no no (commercial form of agriculture) as there will be limits in the use of machines, chemicals and proper maintenance practise. 1 Like 1 Share |
