anonimi:eeeeee pls mind your choice of word.... U said product can be supply to hotels etc and I simply said it can't be achieve by a single farm except cooperative/farmers group, Am just saying this base on my previous experience with the above mention organisation cos if u are going there as an individual they won't even listen to u cos they know u can't meet up there demand. Pls this is a faceless forum where u don't know whom u are talking to pls if u must say a word learn how to say the good one not every one will be comfortable with any kind of word.... Pls I hate augment on threads cos it kills most valuable information the op have to share......... Pls let be polite while addressing/correcting other thanks. 3 Likes |

jethro2:What about toll collectors in the name of produce under the ministry of agric. For each state you drive past,you must pay produce.These are the guys that used to set planks with nails along the road incase you refuse to stop. Produce toll from Jos to Enugu 1. Jos = N500 2 Nasarawa =N1,500 3 Benue =N3,000 4. Kogi =N1,500 5. Enugu =N1,500 Total cost of produce = N8,000 To settle soldiers and police from Jos to Enugu you'll have to pay about N16,000 with the "abeg collect this N100 na" that follow it. Tomato business is risky,but it is very very lucrative.One trip can fetch you N150,000 ,N200,000,N300,000 depending on your target market. I will also come to Jethro for training on tomato cultivation.I don't know nothing about tomato planting. Busy @ work To be continued later. 1 Like 1 Share |

The internet is a beautiful thing and the energy of Nigerians is great I am sure the future is bright listening to the ideas on this thread. We need to shun ideas of getting rich quick and embrace handwork. It seems to me that the main problem is a lack of "knowledge" . Good knowledge is often found in big companies who do not have time for trial and error but also are able to invest heavily . Perhaps cooperatives are the way to go. Potentially for Nigerians this could be a problem because of intrinsic dishonesty and desire to be the BOSS. I want to share this greenhouse video which is of what I can only call a tomato factory rather than a farm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCz_NqmYhOE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB7RYIlS6LQ 5 Likes |

@jethro2, thanks for this post. I have read other posts from ur device but none has inspired and encouraged me as this thread has. I am interested in orange distribution for the now and cassava farming. I have done a dry run in the distribution of orange in Abuja outside the open market and take on cabals is so true, so is the take down of the security forces who must collect their own. what I want to know is how do I get specific information in terms of how to sort and pack oranges. I am sorely lackin on that plus how do I avoid joining the unions and operate without harassment? |

For the past two years, I've bn nursing the idea of tomato biz. However, my interest isn't limited to farming and selling the tomato, it extends to processing; ie adding value to the tomato b4 selling. From my research, I came across two ways of doing so: 1. Processing the tomato into paste 2. Dehydrating the tomato. While no.1 is expensive, considering the high cost of tomato processing machinery; it's nevertheless very viable and ofcos profitable. As for no.2, it is cheaper to start-up plus profitable too, but my problem is " am yet to know if dia is a large market (both locally and internationally)for dehydrated tomato" 2 Likes |

We eventually left the village around 7.30pm. Few minutes drive entering the next village was some people by the roadside that push plywood with nail on the road. Anything wrong? I asked as the driver slowed down. Na eleru. He answered. (Eleru means the load owners) Dem wan collect their money. Their money? ha. Eleru! How much? Shouldn't be more than N100. N500!. We have stopped and the Eleru collector surface by my side. I paid N500 We will be paying at every entrance to most villages. The money varies from location to location. Hmnmn. I breathe in. Wahala dey It was during those trips i know we have plenty force men with varying degree of names and payment differs Sarsen, Operation burst, mobile policemen, the millitary is N200. Police N100. So the payments continue to Lagos. There is more force men on the road at night that you can ever imagine. Abeokuta road is something else. The Eleru in Abeokuta put on generator throughout the night. Most are touts and ruffians. They are with different size of sticks to break something if the vehicle tried to escape. Money are also collected based on the size of vehicles. 6 seater is different from 18 seater and trailers are worst hit 2 Likes 1 Share |
