Finally,

The equity contribution part was not a problem. However, I approached my state (Ondo State) Commissioner of Agriculture to see how we can get the expanse of land needed for the project. I made him see the benefits e.g job creation of over 250 people, IGR, Export Rebate, FX income etc.

You know what he said..............Abeg make I no air my state dirty linen on Naira land. That's how me I jejelly carried my fund and went into other business. This was a project that by the time we harvest the plantain alone, it would have repaid almost half of our indebtedness to the bank within the first one year o.

U see, part of the problem here is our own doing. Well, i haven't given up just yet. God's willing, I hope to achieve this dream before I clock 40. I have a couple of years left though.

what other business did you eventually do sir?

Newway2:
Are you an educated farmer?

Can you guarantee yourself regular income in your old age when you leave farming?

Are you thinking of agric pension?

Are you over 40yrs?

Then, join the New Cocoa Farmers Forum where we discuss how cocoa can give you pension in your old age

We shall rub minds on how we can mutually & collectively take our vocation: agriculture & farming a notch higher than our fathers.

Every educated & practicing farmer shld endavour to prepare 4 (farming/agric) retirement by planting "COCOA".

Have you heard this? Many Nigerian exporters have been defrauded of huge amount of money in the process of exporting commodities to foreign countries. Do you know why? They were not trained on export operations, management, documentations and the best methods of payment in export trade. This is terrible!!! Nigerians cannot continue to lose money to foreigners in the course of export business. Exporters, why don’t you get a practical manual that teaches the stages of export trade from processing and packaging of commodities to receipt of payment by the foreign buyers. It teaches export operations, export management, export documentations and methods of payment in export trade? It is a contemporary step-by-step guide to export trade. It tells all the contemporary dynamics in export trade. To get it, click on the link below:

Our desire to create cash crops hubs (CCHubs) in different geopolitical zones of Nigeria took us on a sojourn to Iyanomo village (Ovian East LG) in Edo state.

The cocoa pods pix in the accompanying picture is a sample of cocoa harvest from the village without use of any chemical fertilizer.

We had a very fruitful discussions with the elders & youths representative of the village & they are ready to accommodate us by earmarking 1,000 acres of virgin tropical rain forest for our CCHub project.

The villagers grow cocoa, oil-palm & banana/plantain in commercially.

The advantages of this location are:

✔️Accommodating host
✔️Cheap farmland
✔️Cheap labour
✔️No theft (nobody steals farm produce in this village)
✔️Easy accessibility directly on Benin-Lagos expressway (40 min drive from Ring road, Benin)

The site shall be one of our CCHub-Cocoa (CocoaVillage) & oil-palm.

If you are a farmer from Edo state & you plan to retire back home, this location is very good.

Let's farm together & may God bless our hustles.

Is this project still on and do you have any CCHub in the SouthEast yet?

Delgi:


Raingun is a no go as per BPD, But Spray tube might/should be a cheaper alternative (even though fertigation will not be possible) and will result in extra weeding cost. The long and short of it is to make a cost analysis and go for the best.

@Delgi, You can install drips gradually or you may choose to lay a water pipeline that transverse the farm with points here and there. You can do hose watering during the early years and subsequently during dry season.

Project still on. No CCHub in SE yet.

We will appreciate if you can link us with suitable farmland in SE.

The crop of leaders that took over from Nigerian foremost leaders are nothing but buccaneers.
They were only interested in sharing & amassing wealth from Nigeria resources without commensurate infrastructural development.

Reason we are where we are
