Hmmmnmn.
Growing N10,000 in agrobiz will be very difficult.
I can understand your plight and would have love be of help.
I don't have money to give you but you can plan to attend our vegetable practical training in September free. That is if the distance will not be a barrier.
The N10,000 may barely be sufficient for your transport.
But if you can find a way to get across and show some little committment, you can half some acres of land to practise, seed to plant, technical support to manage your farm, access to market, accomodation for the next one year, access to all farm equipments that will ease and guide you towards being an agripreneur.
You can send mail to adesola_yinka@yahoo.com or call.
remain bless

Good evening sir.
I am using a 35kg basket called Ghana basket. It Ghanaians that use it to bring tomato into Nigeria.
I have an instinct my Yoruba agent lied about the price last week.
So i shift to Hausa agent this week. Last week he said he sold for N7500.
The other agent sold for N15,000
Henceforth the Yoruba agent gets nothing till further Notice.
Sorry for long story.
The 50kg basket is the one referred to as Hausa basket.
Its usually twice the price of my Ghana basket.
I hope i answer some of your question

well done Jethro.
house basket of should be 23000 to 27000 in mile 12 market now. I ask a woman who is buying from zamfara and sell in Lagos, she said the house basket was sold for 'N30,000 in mile12 last two weeks due to scarcity of tomato in the north because of Muslim fasting.
I will send you the woman number so that you can confirm from her. she a yuroba

I sent you a PM, please kindly send me the woman's number too, thanks in advance

Hmmmmmm, our people and their insincerity. Honestly, l prefer relating to those Hausa folks, seems they are more truthful (my view sa o).
So it means same 35kg that was sold for 7500 last week was sold for 15k this week.
I am looking forward to my first harvest this wknd and l hope the price will still be good now that the sallah is over and activities will resume fully in the North. Pls do you advise l use Ghanian or Hausa basket? I plan to move my harvest down to the east to sell but that depends on the quantity and price difference, I really need all strategy to maximise profit cuz we sufferred some losses due to lack of rain in march/april.
I will appreciate your response.
Thanks for your valuable help @ all times. Am looking forward to working with you.

My observation
Price is down today.
plenty Yoruba tomatoes in the market
My 35kg basket sold for N8,000 the technisem tomato.
The Hausa basket of 50kg small long type is N7,000.
Cucumber bag is N3,000
It was that expensive 2 weeks ago
Will be leaving the market very soon.
I would love to have the woman's no.

Good morning.
It was the same last week that it was reportedly sold like that.
please visit the market you want to supply to and get the real details.
Tomato prices flunctuates that you will be shocked at the difference in price in the morning afternoon and evening.
its also good to network several markets.
I am glad the number if tomatoes farmers are increasing.
I have been working on some standard market that could fetch one reasonable price all year round.
My constraints has been quality and consistence supply.
I have the link to the standard market but it has to be a collective effort.
1. Good quality : means same seed and same methods of production
2. Consistency in supply: means large no of farmers producing at different time.
Standard market has always been the target Mile 12 is just the stepping stone.
Standard markets buy in kilo. The least is from N400 per kilo. They also buys all year round.
The excess production will be the ones for other open market.
We have the market to break in.
I am experimenting on several types of seed to later choose 3 or 4 varieties based on the quality and some other things.
I pray along with you to meet good market cause that will further motivates one to do more
kudos and welcome sir
You can use any basket that is convenient for you.
I even saw a tomato that was really red in colour. I was told it came from Cameroon.
Imagine that
Please

ok
please kindly help confirm 100kg bag of onion too

Wa o, such a dynamic market, anyway, let's see how it goes before wknd.I actually knew the price will drop after sallah.
Am in touch with many markets as well, but still exploring further.
On that standard market you mentioned, am game and that's why l said earlier than I am looking forward to working with you. Presently, I planted technisem seed and soloxam has been the brain behind the farm so am sure method of production and standard won't be an issue for me, so we can work seemlessly.
I wil get in touch with you soon, to talk better, l have some capacity to participate well in that standard market as I just acquired some huge hectares of land and ready to explore this opportunity further..

Make I give you three Gbosas for your very nice contribution of FRESH practical ideas on this thread.

More blessings o jare

jeffmyson:


That's correct and can even be lower sometimes, like yesterday we bought for N1,200 per basket (Big size Basket) the price depends finally on quality.
Cheers!!

Pls I would love to know more about this business. Can I contact you personally.

l passed through some markets on Fri and Sat, so many baskets of tomato all over, the small basket sold for 1k 2 weeks ago, was on offer for N100. So ridiculous.

The market is getting flooded with tomatoes. The Ghanians, Cameroonians and Beninese have better tomatoes than Nigerians.
