I appreciate the fact thatv as a young man, you have decided to take your destiny into your hands by taking to agriculture instead of waiting for a white collar job or engaging in a get rich quick scheme. I wish more youth imbibe that orientation, Nigeria would indeed be on the way to recovery. Having said that, you are allowing ego and pride to set in, which can destroy you. The fact that you have spent 3.5 million naira does not mean a thing, Big multinational companies with Harvard trained financial gurus make mistakes that cost billions of dollars. You should heed the warnings about your spacings, because of this arguments about spacings, i went to take a look at the palm tree in my uncle's house (we itsekiri's do not joke with our banga soup). He planted one he obtained from the agricultural institute in Ibadan and it is the agric specie. On looking at the lenth of the leaves it cannot be less than 2.5metres long and it is only about 5 years old. I guess that at 8 years, the leaves would not be less than 3m long each, so the spacings should be at least 6m to avoid the leaves touching each other.

Do you even know what 1.5m is? that is less than 5 feet. An average man is over 1.7m. If your are not sure the best thing is to take a tape (it is about N250) and physically measure a matured plant. As pointed out if you make a mistake in the spacings, it would have disasterous consequences on your yield.

I think you should look at the possibility of getting an agricultural loan to expand the business. There are lots of soft loans with low interest rates and long payback time to help the agricultural sector. You need to register your company and join relevant agricultual cooperatives, then approach the relevant agricultural parastatals - both state and federal. The process might be tedious but you can get quite a substantial amount.

henrimoto: comunities dat 're off good roads, and they re a little bit off major roads. comunities dat looks as if there's no serious development going on there. u will even get an acre for 85-90k. take a good luk @ igbesa. b4 now, comunities around dat place do give away their lands 4 little or nothing. go to dose areas now,it's somthing else. there 're places in ogbomoso, oyo state. where can get acres of land very very cheap. say 75-80k.

integrityfood:


am interested if this price is real. pls my email is integrityfood@gmail.com. i will like to meet with u and start the purchase of the land as am interested in the oil palm business. or call 08135044012

felixzo1:
when i was doing my research on how i carry out an oil palm plantation, i read a lot of materials i found online, watch a lot of videos and visited some plantations to see things for my self. some-people just sit and want everything to be handed to them free.sorry for computer farmers

okine4real: I need advice here now.. Am actually looking at buying lands in ibadan. I know they sell for 80k per acre, some people sell lower why some sell higher. Now the first thing is, are these lands for real? Looking at a situation where by some family might come years later start claiming the land. Also if i plant oil palms using 9 meter spacing, can i plant plantain in between? also how many should i plant considering the spacing?

bewaje: Dis is d international required spacing

bewaje: The spacing is 4.5metre & it should be in a triangle shape each side should be 4.5m..4.56meter=14.76feet. Don't let ur greed destroy ur business. As we humans breath so does plant too.

henrimoto: @ okine4real, congratulations to u in advance! u ve just created ur own money- tree 4 d next 35-40 yrs to come. d beginning is always difficult and challenging but d result is always rewarding. i like ur courage and kindnes to share ur experience with felow nairalanders.

bewaje: The problem is that you guys don't really know what 9metre will give u if its converted to feet 9metre=29.53feet...mehn dat ridiculous nw. Pls don't use 9metres o. 4.5m is better pls. @ least 4.5m=14.76feet wide pls.

You make me laugh, Mine question for you is, have you seen a 35 years old tree before? If not go and do your measurement. Am talking talking from what i read now ohh, Am talking from what i have seen face to face. 4.5 meter guy forget it, you would cry. you can use 20 feet, but you would have to get it down when its like 20 years, but your yield would be reduced. The started way is 9 meter triangular.
