I want to know.How long does it take to grow cassava before harvesting? Also how can I get a blueprint of cassava business |
Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by pman06(m): 10:25am On Dec 01, 2013 |
@ E-jaja Yeah, am based in abk. @ All Visit your state agricultural ministry. I believe they will have some farm settlements around the state. Its from there you can get to know there prices for one year rentage per hatre(2.5acres of land), and they will help with tractors, you just need to pay for each operation you do. And in respect to how long it will take a cassava to grow before harvesting, it majorly depends on the variety. I'v seen 6months varieties being cultivated, and most 9months and above, its just about the variety. And with 250k to spare, you can start with 2hectres of land. |
Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by pman06(m): 10:37am On Dec 01, 2013 |
I saw this quote online about cultivation of one hectre of cassava land, i hope this helps. 1hectareCost of production of cassava is as follows: STAGE 1 Land lease: 5,000/annum 1st plough: 8,000 STAGE 2: 2nd plough :8,000 9month maturingCassava Stem +transportation: 20,000 STAGE 3 Planting: 9,000 STAGE 4 1st Weeding: 8,000 Fertiliser +Application:15,000 STAGE 5 2nd weeding: 8,000 Miscellaneous: 3,000 Harvesting : 7,000 TOTAL for 1Ha =#87,000 |

There are varieties that yield in 6 months. |

Emma Ajayi: . Where can one see such a large expance of land to rent? How can one guaranty the security of the farm? Another thing to look at such project need tractor to accomplish.Well for a start 10 hectares is not much if you have the money to cultivate it, as for getting that size of land it depends on which part of the country u are, you can always get lands From LGA, Mins of agric, river basin development authorities, from communities and even individuals. As for ten hectares ur can do it with human labourers. But that's not to say u can't start with one or two hectares and grow from there @kalxavier in my own opinion I would advice you look at starting withthings like vegitable to grow ur money then you can now head into cassava. @everyday it takes cassava between 12 to 18 for industrial use cassava and 12 months for cassava for garri, and those for 6 to 9 months are not advicable as thy can be very very funny and delicate. As for the blueprint you nee to decide what ur target market is and you desired goal in the biz. @pman06 that budget you gave I think is not totally adequate. As for the favor I wanted to ask if you can help me make enaquires at the ogun-osun river basin development authority. |

@E-Jaja Thanks for ur advices so far I really appreciate . Ok I'm having like 1m naira and my plan is to start with ten hectares of good variety for industrial use . Will like to keep in contact wit u for ur alway kindful opinions and experiences . Also hw many months cassava duration are used for cassava flours ? |
Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by EJaja(m): 3:45pm On Dec 01, 2013 |
@yakuz That's nice for a start, but I would advice you keep an extra 300 to 500k for the ten hectare farm, as sometime you would encoutercertain thing u di not plan for. As for the duration IITA say it takes 12 months to achieve 25 ton per hectare, while the guys in shonga farm say in other to achieve 30 tons and above advice 18 months. Where do u intend to setup ur farm? |
Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by stagger: 3:52pm On Dec 01, 2013 |
E-Jaja: Where did you get the info that length of time to maturity determines which is used for gari or industrially? I have not seen it written anywhere. |
Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by pman06(m): 5:56pm On Dec 01, 2013 |
stagger: I dont think 18months old cassava can be bought by those HQCF mills. Cos its even stated on their site that it must not be more 18months old. @e-jaja i stay close to the river basin, if its something i can ask around on your behalf, do let me know. |

Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by yakuz: 6:03pm On Dec 01, 2013 |
@E-Jaja Actually being my first time experience I haven't concluded wit the location issue still researching on that . As I 'm residing in Lagos where do u recommend that can be suitable for me ..... Concerning security and arable fertile land |
Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by stagger: 8:57pm On Dec 01, 2013 |
pman06: My point is, cassava can be harvested at 9 months. The only reason farmers leave their crop in the ground for up to 18 months is because of the fall in prices between May and October when the rains are active. |
Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by EJaja(m): 8:59pm On Dec 01, 2013 |
@ stagger I have made my enquires, from the various institues that have things to do with cassave and I was told that you better of leaving the cassava for 12 months and that's what most IITa materals states, so if you to go by that that means for u to get the average yield of 25 tons per hectare, enough dry matter and starch content your best bet is to go by with IITA recommendation. Note I never said. The maturity determines the use, all I said was to achieve above 25 tons you should leave it for up to 18 months, although am yet to try this that was what I was told by a major practicing cassava farmer in Nigeria. @ pmano6 Yeah that's what some of the requires, u can harvest ur cassava by 1 week to 18 months or so that's still within the requirements. As for the favour I want you to help me aks if they still have farmland to lease on their farm settlements in either oyo, ogun or osun state and are the land free of trees and were the various settlement are located. @ yakuz I would advice that u look at hetting land in areas like oyo, osun, ogun, ekiti, ondo or even in lagos (in the badagary oand other outskirt town), as lands are cheaper in this area. |
Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by stagger: 9:04pm On Dec 01, 2013 |
A processor can also plant his crop to use as raw materials in which case they are harvested as needed since cassava starts to rot as from day 2 and 3 post harvest. However, research has shown that hydrocyanic acid is found more in cassava that has remained underground for long periods. So some advise to use early harvest cassava for food products (gari, fufu, flour, HQCF) and late harvest cassava for starch, glucose syrup and dextrin. However, proper processing with heat, cutting, peeling, grating and fermentation will remove most of the HCN. |
Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by pman06(m): 9:04am On Dec 02, 2013 |
@ E-jaja I dont know about their land lease o. But my best suggestion is to lease from the state government. Its cheaper and you have lands all over the state depending on your location. @ all Please, anybody on the thread who knows the name of the ethanol company at agbara please in ogun state? I will appreciate if anybody can help with the companys' name. Thanks. |
Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by EJaja(m): 10:14am On Dec 02, 2013 |

Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by saliubello(m): 6:15pm On Dec 04, 2013 |
Dont be carried away by these lofty calculations. These are only for research institutes' farms. You can not predict the price for your harvest. But i will suggest you locate the middlemen rather than going to the companies. Reasons are that they pay you cash on spot but with company,you will be paid as a vendor (instalments). But you dont sound finacially bouyant for this. How many hectares you have & where is your farm? stagger: |
Re: Cassava Sellers And Buyers, Lets Meet Here by laykhorn(m): 6:18pm On Dec 04, 2013 |
