It is not a question of sendng information by email. Palm tree farming is CAPITAL INTENSIVE, and only the experts can give you all the info you need. You are better off going to the Nigerian Institute of Oil Palm Research (NIPOR) to get the info you are looking for. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hi Opes, It's true that oil palm farming is capital intensive but very rewarding, It take total of 4-5 years (when you take the time in the nursery into consideration,) It's best to buy your seed from NIFOR in benin so that you can guarantee the quality of what you are planting, it's advisable for your plant to stay for minimum of 1 year in the nursery but 18-24 Months is better, You plant your plant about 8.7meter triangle which should give you about 60-62 on an acre, but once this is planted you can plant plantain in between,(up to 500 suckers) per acre which you can start havesting in 10-12 months and this should sustain the plantation until the oil palm start fruiting, I can tell you that it requires a lot of dedication and hardwork but like i said it's very rewarding. Hope this help. |

Thank you Mr Targus for the input and the advice. you said it all. pls sir do you know the price of the seeds in NIFOR? |
Re: Your Experience In Palm Oil Farming by targus: 9:17am On May 20, 2011 |
Hi Ope, seedling in NIFOR goes for 30 Naira Each, but make sure you get it from the sales department and with NIFOR receipt because everybody is selling on behalf of NIFOR trust me including the security men, |
Re: Your Experience In Palm Oil Farming by opes: 1:16pm On May 20, 2011 |

Re: Your Experience In Palm Oil Farming by targus: 5:43pm On May 20, 2011 |
Hi Ope, It's possible, i think they sell it between 140/150 naira per stand. |

Hope this help. When people say 10Meter spacing or 8.7meter spacing i laugh. Do you know what 10 meter spacing means? if you have a plot of land measuring 100 by 100 feet, with 10 Meter spacing you would plant just 9pc of palm trees, with that kind of spacing know body would do that kind of business. The correct spacing is 10Feet or 8.7feet spacing, if you want to convert to meter, then its 3 Meter or 2.7 meter spacing Thanks 1 Like |

am really interested in this and would welcome ideas. |
Re: Your Experience In Palm Oil Farming by stephen1981(m): 5:01pm On Nov 06, 2013 |
the correct spacing for iol palm planting using the triangulation method, which I used in my farm , is nine metres, this will give you 140 to 145 stands per hectare |
