Kenfarm Cassava cultivation update
Contact us today for more info on V – Z of Cassava farming or visit www.kenfarm.com.ng

STAGE A

Cassava cultivation is another yet to discover cash crop. Plantain farmers do not cultivate cassava because it do not give much output like the plantain and it require more input compare to plantain. However, it yet to be discovered by potential farmers that cassava demand is increasing dramatically just as the cost price of the finished product (garri) is increasing in the market every day. If this is the new development, I think it is time you invest that cash lying fallow in the bank and land left unused on cassava cultivation.

Kenfarm is not only in the Agric Biz to scup cash but also in the Agric Biz to beam a search light on economically rewarding crop cultivation. This is the reason you should contact us for your viable cassava stem both the Vitamin A cassava stem and the TME 419 cassava stem. We also help you set up your cassava farm as well as help ascertain your farm soil fertility. Your soil fertility is one important factor you want to know before putting your land to use if it is yours. It also an important factor you want to know before renting that land for Agric purposes (either for plantain plantation or cassava farming). You don’t want to plant your crop only to observe stunted growth due to lack of some maro & micro nutrients essential for the growth of your crop.

Nevertheless, below is a brief explanation of key information you need to know before venturing into cassava cultivation.

1. For those of us in Lagos and Ogun who wish to either purchase a farm land or Rent a farm land for Agric Biz, visit any farming settlement(i prefer Owode - Idiroko/border axis and for those in Ibadan environ, you can either buy or rent farm anywhere along Iseyin road or Arulogun road off Ojoo(kenfarm do not sell or rent farm).

2. After securing a farm land, contact kenfarm immediately via 08038623884 for your soil analysis.
(N.B: Do your soil analysis before renting that farm land because……)

3. Carry out your second and third ploughing (10 to 14 days after first ploughing). It is important to note that once the first plough starts, u must start sourcing for a reliable cassava stem(cassava stem to cover 1hectare will be about 25- 30bundles. For cost of a bundle for each of the two type of stems contact kenfarm)

4. After the second plough u might have gotten your cassava stem down from kenfarm. Now its time for planting

5. Wages for planting vary but we approximate to 800naira per alapin (2 alapin = 1 plot, 15 plots(1hectare) = 30 alapin that 800naira x 30 alapin = 24,000naira/hectare for planting. Cost is negotiable and vary with location
6. After about 1 month of planting, its time for first weeding. Cost is 1000 per alapin x 30 alapin = 30,000naira/hectare. Cost is negotiable and vary with location.

7. Immediately after the first weeding fertilizer is applied. Currently a bag of fertilizer goes for 7k and u need 3bags = 21k. Again 200/alapin for application x 30alapin = 6000naira
8. At the 3rd month, second weeding is carried out. Same price as first weeding

9. At the 6th month, third weeding is carried out
10. From the 8th month your cassava is ready for sale


STAGE B
Now this is the marketing aspect of the Biz and you can only qualify to this stage only if you have done all the above without making mistakes. Kenfarm can be your guardian to achieve all these stage above.

My analysis below is subject to verification and of cause vary with location. Do your market findings to verify what is obtainable at your location.
A basket of cassava goes for 7500 (last time I checked). The actual money u get is 5500 to 6000 depending on d distance of the farm to the market.
The Break down goes thus, Out of the 7,500naira, 1000naira or 1500naira goes to transportation of a Basket of cassava from your farm to the market (by Bike). Price depend on d distance to the nearest market. The labourer that harvest and arrange the cassava in the basket charge 500naira. Now you know how much it cost you to get a backer ready for supply.
Now 3 baskets = 1ton
so instead of getting 22,500naira on 1 ton of cassava, the actual money u get is btw 16500naira to 18,000naira. Now that is the figure u should work with so that you don’t raise your hopes high
Processing your cassava into garri gives u times 2 the value.
I have experimented it. This is not multiplier effect, not internet farming, not computer agriculture, not even rocket science but real practical commercial Agriculture.
We tried an experiment using 4 cab stars. 2 went for direct sales while the other two went to processing into garri. By d time we were through, the processing of cassava into garri yielded more income.
Hence, we encourage our esteem clients who are still skeptical of whether to go into selling of cassava tubers or processing of the tuber to finished product ( e.g. garri) to make their choice. Outright sales of the cassava tubers gave us profit of 120,000naira for the two cab stars, while we got a profit of 200,000naira for the other 2cab stars after sales of the garri.
Conclusively, if I just gave you a reason to utilize that fund or land of your lying idle, do not hesitate to contact us via WhatsApp line 08038623884 to do your soil analysis and place Oder for plantain sucker or cassava stems.

Re: Reason You Need To Invest In Cassava Ferming (pictures) by Ken4agent(m): 10:09pm On May 08, 2017
Our esteem followers and customers, the time to cultivate that fallow farmland is NOW!!!! The rain has started early though not evenly. It an indication that if you do your farm homework meticulously, bumper harvest is sure......One of the pre-planting operation that delay planting is farm clearing. Do not allow clearing of your farm to rub you off the best time to get a viable cassava stem/plantain sucker. The longer you delay the more expensive the seeds.

kenfarm is still in the Bizness of supplying viable Nematode free hybrid plantain suckers and viable TME419 cassava stem at a price worthwhile.

We are sorry for the delay in response.....I am sure of how many bundle you be needing for one acre which is 25bundles but I can't say exertly how many stick u can plant on one acre. Simply because the number of sticks/stem you plant depends on farm size, number of beds, size of bed, spacing of the stems, and topography of your farm.

If it was plantain where a sucker produce a bunch, then you can worry yourself about the number of plantain stem standing on your farm. But for cassava, the number of stem standing on the farm do not determine the number of stones of cassava tuber to be harvested. A stem can produce 4-6 tubers depending on how viable the stem is.

Cheers!

Mr Ken, a friend of mine has been in dilemma for sometime now. He is asking me wether planting cassava and processing it to Garri or planting plantain and selling directly to food processors, which is more profitable for him? He is equally asking how much it would cos to be able to process up to 70tones of cassava I to Garri? Note that, he has someone that wants to help him and use his factory for the processing though and as such, he wants to know how much it's going to cost him to process his stock . What's your advise?

Obviously, the output of plantain suckers is outrightly profitable than cassava whether you are selling the tubers or processing to garri. Ironically, you do not spend as much in maintaining your plantain plantation unlike cassava farm. Also, after first harvest of plantain, the suckers keeps multiplying and keep producing fruit for as long as 10years depending on how viable the parent suckers are(like ours). But for cassava stem, after harvest the cycle is over...think about that.

However, I can not say vividly how much it will cost to process 70tones because it vary with location. But I can say it is not as expensive as you think. consult the nearest garri processing factory to you for detail.

cheers!!!!

N.B: Kenfarm is still in the business of selling cassava stem and plantain suckers as well as soil analysis. we appreciate those customers who has adopted our seed. You shall harvest bountifully IJN.

Hi Mr. Ken, Nice work!
Please, how many toones of cassava would an acre of land yield?
Thanks!

I will give you the expected/paper figure which is 9-12 tones yield per acre. But like is use to tell people, what is expected or whatever figure you see online may not be applicable to your farm because:

1. Soil profile deference
2. care giving to your crop
3. Variety of seed used
⁴. How long the cassava is left before harvest
5. Rate and method of fertilizer application, Type of fertilizer used
Just to mention a few.......so this mean that your one acre of land can yield less than 10 tones or more than 20 tones depending on the factors over listed

cheers!!

Difference: Vitamin A cassava is an improved variety cassava basically meant to increase Vitamin A consumption in the home since garri is consume most by all Economic class. It has less starch content and the garri is naturally yellow. while TME419 cassava is also an improved variety but the starch content is more that that of Vitamin A cassava. The garri is naturally white.

However, both variety do not have any advantage over the other because each of them is genetically engineered for different purpose. TME419 cassava cassava stem is improved to produce cassava tuber that is rich in starch content used as industrial raw material while Vitamin A cassava stem is improved basically to increase rate of consumption of Vitamin A in the Home

I will advise you plant an improved variety cassava stem however small the land may be. The advantages is enormous over the local okoiyawo. It true TME419 cassava tubers has high starch content which make the garri of low value. But you can reduce the starch content in your garri during processing and the end product garri will have low starch content( consult our eBook for detail)
