Everyone here speaks of profit, ebooks, success and how to.....
I am still waiting to read someone tell us "when" to plant these magical profit yielding crops. We are rounding up the year 2015, about to hit January 2016. What can one plant or what preparations can one make from January towards the new planting season of 2016.....considering locations or better still the different zones of Nigeria.
It doesnt matter if it is cabbage, pepper, cucumber or ugu....for those who are successful in their different farms and farming methods, throw some of us a line that we can hang on to.......from the scratch.
Let's have planting dates and what crops you think is best for eg a place like Akwa Ibom.
Thank you for reading.

Rain fed farms is good but not as profitable as irrigated farms. Eg: watermelon planted in september will be harvested in nov/dec. A load sell for 50k to 60k while the one planted in dec to harvest in feb sells fo 100k to 120k. In fact all harvests uptill april / may is good price. Example 2: Ewedu vegetbles sold for N100 to N200 per dozen from sept to early dec. Only for the price to jump to N1,200 and still rising. In same way, cucumber sold for 1,500 per bag and now N4,000. Just plant, irrigate by nov/dec & let your harvest spread from dec to may.

Excellent... You said it all... If you are waiting to plant the same time as other farmers, then you are going to harvest at the same time at low profit.

It's important to know the ideal planting dates even if you plan to irrigate. Some crops require dry weather for flowering, harvesting, etc.
