Plantain Farming Escapade. by globatop: 6:27pm On Nov 26, 2015 |
Compliments to nairalanders, agric section, your thread and post has been a motivator in my escapade in agriculture, especially plantain plantation. I have read most thread and post on agric section from page to page, I appreciated all the contributions of members, though some of their assertions are at variance in reality at my location in Ode-Omu Osun state. The most challenging aspect of my plantain plantation project has been labor, where the non indigens (referred to as Cotonue) would not do jobs to commensurate their daily earnings estimated at #1,500.00. Breakdown, transportation #300, feeding #200 while actual Labour charge is #1,000 Their mission in ode Omu is not actually for casual job persee, but to cultivate pepper and tomato, hence if you hire them for a day, they'll still go to their farm by 2pm at most. And if you hire them for the whole year, they'll work for about ten months for #120,000, such is not suitable for a new farm without inflow. The indigens (youth) engage on hunting and Okada work, hence Labour is precarious. After expending fund I intend to weed 2 acres of land on just one acre, I decided to go solo, so from planing, planting to application of herbicides was done by me. I'll be frank, it has not been easy, am just been motivated by the analysis I read on nairaland and a friend who has been on the job for upward of 5years. Plucking of corn (less than a bag) took me a whole day, one full bag of corn was priced #1,000 in the market, i.e the corn, Labour and transportation is less than #1,000. The progress so far is as seen on the pix, waiting for Good products, because the Labour has been so intensive.
