adelegan1: Please don't not be deceive agriculture is not profitable in this country. Don't start what you can't end successfully you will waste your money and time. If I have farm 20hectares for 3 years and I must tell you. I learnt of lesson. But agriculture is never profitable in any part of the world. In America the government subsidize the agricultural sector heavily and that is why people are still farming. In nigeria people that produce food are the small farmer. Now sometimes when we see a truck of tomatoes we think is coming from just one farm that is not true. This product were collected by agent in small farms to filled in that truck from the north to bring to the city. This goes with most agricultural product. The only people that make money in agriculture are the agent and merchant. Now lets take the case of cocoa farming. The cocoa farmer lives in poverty while the agent and merchant become very very rich just within few time of starting the business. Please be warn . I will be here to see people that will loose money and precious time on farming My friend, stop talking what you don't know. If you use a blunt knife to cut bread, it will never slice it. I am sure you understand what I mean. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Maize Farming Startup by bfmconcepts: 6:26pm On Dec 25, 2013 |
how do we handle a situation whereby there are too many maize available and selling your farm produce becomes difficult. I had this ugly experience sometimes ago and it wasn't funny. |
Re: Maize Farming Startup by Lesgupnigeria(m): 7:18pm On Dec 27, 2013 |
bfmconcepts: how do we handle a situation whereby there are too many maize available and selling your farm produce becomes difficult. This is why timing of planting in farming is very important.I guess you planted it during the off-planting time To achieve better profit next year,planting should be done immediately the first rain in February and Maybe in Early or Mid-March The best way to sell your corn when faced with such scenario is to allow it to dry and shell,then supply to poultry farms,palp producers e.t.c For info in our Cassava Farm management programmes,Agribusiness Training School 2014,Agribusiness Entrepreneur Cooperative,Call the Farm Manager;Gbenga on 08164628081 or email yusuffgbenga@gmail.com For more updates on agriculture/farming like us on www.facebook.com/lesgupnigeria 1 Like |

megainvest: Hello business minded people. I am pleased to inform you that our maize farm has now started up fully. In summary, over 7 hectares of farmland was cultivated within a month. Target yield is 3 tons per hectare. In 3 months, it is expected that we can inject about 20 tons of maize into the global market.Hi Megainvest. Thanks for this post and the wonderful reply it was able to generate. I am planning on going into maize farming next year and i would be so happy if you could answer some of my question! 1. how much did you invest? 2. Did you spend more that the money budgeted? 3. The risk involved, what are they? 3. Harvesting and marketing how did you do that? 4. please do tell me more of anything that would be helpful to me. Thanks and success with all you do. |
Re: Maize Farming Startup by joyjoomla(m): 7:51pm On Mar 13, 2015 |
@ Cranky, I think it's time we gave some practices a trial, a trial might convince u atimes. See, things are changing dis days, and to meet up with d challenges in agriculture, we have 2 give some practices a trial by adopting latest techniques. I must tell u, dat's why europe, america & asia are far ahead of africa. Dis same plant population u guys were arguing on, a zimbabwean big time farmer who's my friend told me 2 try dis same pp. Likewise an indian farmer told me same. I'm giving it a try come next farming season by his grace. I was surprised when I visited our association office 2 wks ago & I was told d criteria 4 farm inspection to access loan next year will be strictly 20,000 stands of cassava/ha instead of d usual 10,000 stands/ha. With dis, in about few weeks, d plants will attain full ground cover & inhibit weed growth, so u will have to carry out only 1 weeding & ur yield will not be affected. I still cant believe what I was told anyways, until I personaly give a trial come next season. Practices are changing for improvement everyday. Hi great man..........have u given it a trial now. What was the result, pls can we know. Help us, young aspiring farmers, learn. Thanks |

Re: Maize Farming Startup by megainvest: 3:44pm On Mar 21, 2015 |
mercylicious: I guess we have similar interests. I did conclude my story and drew some very strong conclusions. Check my posts on page 1 (October). For now, I have parked this business to come back to it later in the future big time. I am busy gathering more facts and more money. I will like to combine it with animal farming. |
Re: Maize Farming Startup by FarmTech(m): 7:05pm On Mar 21, 2015 |
megainvest:.. Don't you think that without those loses your yield would have been higher? |
Re: Maize Farming Startup by fkNaira: 2:44pm On Oct 31, 2015 |
@ Olashowunm "@ALL... MAIZE IS GOOD WHEN SOLD FRESH TO FRESH MARKET AS YOU DONT NEED TO EXPEND ADDITIONAL COSTS... " But you cannot possible exhaust the fresh produce. Even where it is possible to exhaust it, what becomes of other foods which are products of maize: pap, custard, corn-flakes etc.? You add value when u expend additional cost and there is return for the value u have added |

Maize farmers, what was your experience this last planting season? Did you get ballooned returns on investment as stated on the internet? if not, how did it go? |
Re: Maize Farming Startup by fecundz(m): 11:10pm On Jan 09, 2016 |
Av said it before n i wil still say it paper work is different from real experience on d field ao eva at what spacin is it gonna get dt figure in one hectares of land. U can oly get 55,555 stands of maize on one hectare using paper work. So shield more light how you come across dt planting population. Let learn from each other n dt said figure can never complete after establishment of d maize farm. |
Re: Maize Farming Startup by ptoall1000: 3:21pm On Jan 10, 2016 |
fecundz:Let people also share there experience. How many tons of dry grain can the 55,555 stands give? I think we should talk in terms of tons and not stands. Another season will soon come so that people can learn. |
