More pictures of my green house and open field drip irrigation production from my previous post

Even those who didn't study agric like us who did are going into it because they know it's worth, especially when you have th market.our local amunututu(spinach) is real cash when u have a market connection like shoprite and other malls

Nice one bro... I love this. I'm sure it cost a fortune to install those greenhouses

@oladiran2, Love what am seeing! How did you procure the film for the greenhouse?

It was included as part of d items in d green house kit for the farm owner when she bought them.

Yes of course, one is abt 2milion with everything included for a growing season from d drip system, seeds, fertilizers insecticides and fungicides and everything needed for a successful growing season.

Whats the cost?

Thanks for the reply.

@preciousseed you re welcome

Is it mr precious of saro am talking to??

This is very nice but quite expensive. How many seasons is it gonna take to break even @oladiran2

Good result.

However, this is still too expensive for an average farmer while there are also other start up costs to also consider. You will not break even at all if you fail to get high end consumers like Shoprites etc who are ready to pay per kilo.

I still prefer open field while one can have one green house to cater for fragile veg like tomatoes as income increase.

Please where can I get Jain drip irrigation kit to buy. 09023878843

I disagree that you won't break even, it might only take awhile if you don't have a good targetted market.dry season is fast approaching and one can make best use of it even if one don't have a good target market but the local ones cos there will definitely going to be an increment in all vegetables during those season.who knows what will happen again this comi season.even without any problem in tomato supplies, most all bussiness re seasonal in nature so with atmost in 2-3yrs with continuous growing, you will break even and besides the structure is a forever one just like a building as long as the farm is yours and not lease, when you have it, you have it.it will take abt 4-5 yrs before any repair on it which is probably the nets.

In rainy season, you will be competing with farmers that are working in Open Field. The four baskets of tomatoes you attached with your comments cant go for more than =N=1,500.00 during rainy season. In dry season, you will still be competing with modern farmers that are in the Open Field that can afford irrigation kits with good water source and can deliver volume to consumers at affordable prices without incurring much capital expenses. You still have to provide for middlemen commission/transport cost in the final analysis.

Usage of green house is cool and desirable, but if you dont have the likes of Shoprites that pays per kilo in your books, I dont see how a farmer can cover his cost even with 2-3 yrs continuous growing. The best bet is to go on open field and have few green house to take of fragile veg.

Thats four basket of tomato cost more than 1,500. And beside agriculture market is huge, there is always a market.

my own question is simple:

I want a greenhouse. But I can't afford to pay 2m. I will prefer to construct mine locally. But what I need is that screen cover.
Where can we get it at affordable prices in Nigeria? I know I can't use ordinary plastic cover because the winds, sun and rains will destroy it within one planting season.

What I need is that UV treated screen cover.

At the bolded; if I have an asset that will last 10yrs for me, then as long as my business remains a going concern, as long as I have cash flow to keep me operational and as long as I have no debts that mounts pressure on my cash flow, then I don't mind waiting 5 years to break even.

@Willie2015 you are not talking like a business man at all. What makes you different from those taking produce to shoprites. Have you even seen where farm harvest have been off loaded at shop rite then you will know that no amount of farmers we have now can still satisfy their demand as long as your harvest is big like those pictures and has good quality. you can't attain quality with open field and you can't get a good market so it's vice versa. So many things can be done to agric produce not to think of exportation and all still come back to quality. They won't cut off your head for walking in there with a sample from your farm and make inquiry nd satisfy whatever they will require from you to be supplying them. The time we are now, agriculture is not just about a mere farming but business as well. You have to incorporate your farming sense to the business one to be successful. Secondly who in this south side of the country and will tell you he or she is growing tomatoes for commercial purpose on open field if he doesn't want to die before his time with debt from bacteria wilt and blight?? That can only be done in the north and they still have issue even with the intensity of their sun. Am sure you were aware about what happened last season with the tuta absoluta which even gave room for more thinking with the need of the importance of a green house. I agree it's expensive but it is a necessity except you are not seeing agric as a business in the world we are today. It's going to be just like an investment. Even if you won't need it, you will even see who to buy back as soon as possible again from you when you get tired of agric which am certain you can't even do.
