Agriculture / Re: stale by mamaaustin(f): 7:52am On Feb 19, 2022 |
As a young Nigerian based abroad you have a unique vantage point of being able to liaise with the foreign companies directly to supply raw commodities from Nigeria. Some highly sought after Nigerian commodities include spices such as ginger, dried cayenne pepper, cocoa, shea butter, even dried cassava pellets etc. Before you take the plunge and get your fingers burnt, approach pharmaceutical / beauty companies with your intentions and get their specifications, then source for and supply a sample. Once you are sure of what is required, business can commence however make sure that you will do due diligence with whoever you plan to partner with. One last thing is that you should allow banks to finance the transactions as they will hold onto the payment until the order has been processed and both parties are satisfied with the transaction. darkmonarch: |
Agriculture / Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by mamaaustin(f): 9:37am On Dec 17, 2021 |
Although I am not the one that posted the question, i would like more insight into this answer. So what are the ways to overcome bitter tasting cucumbers during the hot weather? Is it through irrigation or use of shade nets (I have heard that shade nets helps to reduce the intensity of the heat effect on the crops). Farmerakinloye6: |
Agriculture / Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by mamaaustin(f): 5:08pm On Nov 18, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6: Hmmm....I just missed meeting with you at Akure market today. I was told by one of the Mallams there that cucumber was plenty in the market this morning, almost like 200bags. But when I got there around 4pm most of the cucumbers had been sold already. Please I need help in terms of selling, do you sell by yourself or hand over to the agents? Because when I asked one of the so called agents this afternoon how much cucumber was sold today he told me 2,500 per bag whereas you are stating that a bag of cucumbers was sold in the same market today between 6,000 - 5,000 naira! |

Can I have an idea of the cost of your products and sales outlet centres? Or maybe just a link to your products catalogue |
Agriculture / Re: Will My Cassava Tubers TME 419 Get Rotten by mamaaustin(f): 7:36pm On Jul 08, 2021 |
I have heard that for hybrid cassava stems, the best time to harvest is between 11 months to 1 year. Anything beyond that and it's possible it will rot in the soil. 1 Like |

kunleweb: Sorry, I just finished replanting all my TME 419 stems (last year was on a small scale, this year I expanded). Also due to my experience, I will be looking for other hybrids due to my experience in farm management with the 419. |

jethro2: My dearest Jethro, I was not referring to you in my statement about some saying that TME 419 stem is not good for garri production. This was what I heard from locals offline and am sure some others may have heard from their interactions with local farmers. It was even your post that clarified why garri processors don't go for TME 419 because of the quantity of garri that would be produced from such cassava. Since I didn't intend to sell to garri processors but rather do the processing to garri for wholesale myself, I have been able to cut out the middle man. Fortunately I have also been able to link up with a company in my locality that is into starch production and ready to buy my entire harvest because it is TME 419. Thanks once again and I hope this has clarified my previous post. 4 Likes |

mamaaustin: So this evening, I just finished processing a pilot batch of my TME 419 garri. As a garri connoisseur and from the state known for the production of the best quality garri and......it was a success. This Garri is so dry and crunchy, we even used it to make eba and it was smooth like semo. Why am I going in to so much detail, because so many people said that this stem was not good for garri production and so far so good. The garri produced is roughly 10 rubber measures and was produced from two 50kg bags (rice bags) of raw cassava. Anyway a picture is worth a thousand words so the pictures are hereby uploaded. Thanks to Jethro for all her support and timely advice. 1 Like

adeniyi65: You are welcome. I was told by many that TME 419 was only good to be sold for starch but I decided to try processing to flour (Elubo) and it was just as good as other species and quite delicious. I will also try garri processing from it and will be back with my results. |

jethro2: Thanks so much dear for the clarification. I had been hearing that TME 419 was not good for garri, now I know it was just concerning the turnover from the raw material. I will still go ahead with my plan to process 30% of my harvest to garri and sell the rest to starch producing companies. |
Agriculture / Re: Why Cassava Farmers Should Choose The TME 419 Variety by mamaaustin(f): 11:00am On Jun 18, 2018 |
jethro2: Hi Jethro2 When you say it has too much water content, doesn't that just mean it will take longer time to dry so it can still be used for garri processing? What cassava stem variety is good for garri then and do we have a hybrid that satisfies both starch companies and garri producers? |
Agriculture / Re: Why Cassava Farmers Should Choose The TME 419 Variety by mamaaustin(f): 10:52am On Jun 18, 2018 |
adeniyi65: TME 419 is pure white in colour and which translates to white cassava flour. This has been established by me from my harvest of TME 419 cassava two weeks ago which I have since processed to flour and happily consumed by my family! |

Agriculture / Re: Cassava Enquiry by mamaaustin(f): 8:58am On May 29, 2017 |
Yes, it is selective and will not harm your cassava but will kill all other weeds and grasses. You will need to buy from a reputable agro shop and follow the directions. |
Agriculture / Re: Cassava Enquiry by mamaaustin(f): 12:59am On May 20, 2017 |
I am still a green horn in this sector, but you can try force uron or di-uron. It is a systemic herbicide made especially for tuber crops of which cassava is one. |

Agriculture / Re: 114 Youths To Get 600 Hectares For Farming In Ekiti by mamaaustin(f): 10:35am On Jan 03, 2017 |
The selection was done on a man knows man basis. I can confirm this because I know one of those persons who was selected for the training. The training has already been conducted (I think it lasted between 2 and 3 months) and the youths are awaiting the promised mechanized implements for them to begin farming by the next rainy season (2017) which includes allocation of government land in each LGA for their crops. If things work out, it is still an opportunity for farmers in general in Ekiti because these youths have been trained on use of mechanized implements and have been promised these equipments as a form of loan. Other farmers can easily make use of these implements am sure for a reasonable charge. |

Just wanted to leave a review for BigCil. Recently acquired 4 acres of farmland from him off Abeokuta -Sagamu express way and would like to recommend him for his business ethic and ability to deliver as expected. Working with villagers can be a challenging experience, but with BigCil, what you agree to is what you get and a smooth transaction guaranteed. |

Food / Re: Mum Brought Tin Tomatoes From England by mamaaustin(f): 11:03pm On May 26, 2016 |
planetx: souljaboi51: Ok....return flight was actually 190,000 For someone to splurge on a return flight to the UK in these economic conditions for a wedding, current cost of tomatoes for market is really not a problem for them. If she was my mum she would have faced a panel for that kind of reasoning to bring back tinned tomatoes rather than the usual gifts from abroad Anyway different folks, different ways of analysis |
Food / Re: Mum Brought Tin Tomatoes From England by mamaaustin(f): 7:49pm On May 26, 2016 |
OK....your mum to the UK and back. I think the cheapest one way ticket is roughly #200,000. So she spent #400,000 on the trip and brought back a box of tin tomatoes because it was 3 for £1, because tomatoes are expensive in Nigeria........ This is great financial management in action! |
