kennykg: Exactly. I'm a Builder, however after studying the rice value chain, this year I got 20 hectares to start my rice farm. Agric is the sure way to go. |

caesaraba: Do make sure you acquire a harvester and a thresher, anything outside these would make no sense as manual labour will be a waste of money. |
Re: Why I Want To Quit Farming This Year And My Plan For 2016 by caesaraba(m): 10:19am On Apr 01, 2016 |
Pavore9: Okay sir. Will plow the land this weekend (starting today) with a tractor. I hope to acquire a thresher before harvest as I do not like the method the villagers use (beating with sticks). As for the harvester, I saw a video on YouTube of hand-held ones similar to those hand-held mowers used for cutting grass. Shouldn't be too expensive hopefully. Any more pointers? |
Re: Why I Want To Quit Farming This Year And My Plan For 2016 by Pavore9: 11:55am On Apr 01, 2016 |
caesaraba: Those hand-held ones should no cost beyond $200. I recall posting a video of it being used in one thread. The thresher can be sourced locally. Where is your farm located? |
Re: Why I Want To Quit Farming This Year And My Plan For 2016 by caesaraba(m): 12:38pm On Apr 01, 2016 |
Pavore9: Makurdi, Benue state. |
Re: Why I Want To Quit Farming This Year And My Plan For 2016 by Pavore9: 4:05pm On Apr 01, 2016 |
caesaraba: Do check out with your state's Agricultural Development Programme office, they should be in a position to link you up with local fabricators of threshers because the Anambra State's office did help link us up with a fabricator in Awka. |

fatytoy333: I process fruits for fresh juice in Lagos. How can I get fresh fruit from this market? What are their prices like compared to Mile 12 market? |
Re: Why I Want To Quit Farming This Year And My Plan For 2016 by annamaria: 4:56pm On May 07, 2016 |
jasper7: When I saw the topic my heart skipped a beat until I read through the vision. I have actually been stumped by the amount of wasted agricultural produce, hence my foray into fresh juice processing. The way forward will not just be fresh produce outlets, though that will help massively. There's need to be innovative and think long term preservation like drying, mincing, juicing etc. The market is huge and growing by leaps and bounds and demand is escalating. Meeting long term and future demand is crucial. Look at tomatoes for example. What I bought for a thousand naira yesterday is what I would normally buy for 300 naira in January/February. Imagine if there was some innovative way to preserve tomatoes. Onions is another case in point. I heard about 60% goes to waste every year in Nigeria. Hopefully we will wake up to the potential for food processing in Nigeria. |

@Jasper7 and other big Bosses in the agric business should please come to my aid. I have 2 acres of land on which I intend to plant GINGER. Kindly advise me how profitable it is. And if it is not, advise on another thing to plant that will be more profitable. Is/are there any other things I can plant alongside with the ginger? (I mean interplanting) Waiting for your candid advice. My location is Suleja-Abuja. |

Another big problem Nigeria needs to tackle is food processing. Sorry to budge in late, but you also mentioned another problem which is food storage. I am sure you will see food processing and storage as the same thing, but the truth is that while the like of tomatoes and chicken can be accepted in a processed form, the likes of yam and potatos will be harder to be acceptable as a processed commodity. Not everyone likes potato chips and yam chips is not thinkable for now. I am surethere are other foodstuff that suffer for lack of proper storage facilities. What do you think We can do about this? |

Newway2:I think this issue can be avoided by signing forward contract with the farmers to buy their produce at a stated price, better than what they would have realised by selling their produce to other marketers |

[quote author=jasper7 post=42440876]I want to quit farming this year... I want to go into processing and marketing of food products. I want to manage farmers. Not because farming is not profitable but because some really good farmers I know are suffering. Really suffering. And that is not down to the abundance of food but because they lack the right management practises. It's a big problem and I want to put in my quota in solving it. I have been restless for a while now. Very restless. Nigeria's economy is sinking with the price of oil. Statistics show that Nigeria spent 35billion dollars on food importation in 2015. And made a meagre 350 million from food exportation. This is a serious problem. Nigeria is in Trouble I am speculating that more Nigerians will die of hunger than boko haram's terrorism in the next 10 years if we do not save our economy. How can we save this economy of ours... There are areas of agriculture that is sweeping in foreign exchange for the country on a daily basis. And there are other areas that we can close up shop. And stop sending our precious cash abroad. I have been doing some research. I think every well meaning farmer irrespective of his farming interests should have a level of export product to gain some foreign exchange. We can turn this economic problem to our favour. We can make it the best thing that has happened to us. Believe me, a lot of attention will be transferred to people with exportable product. Considering that Nigeria is desperately scrambling for ways to revive its economy. Let's set up plantations, farm settlements an farm estates for exportable products. Hotmas911 already caught the vision as he is setting up a cashew plantation in ogbomosho (Land of Cashew ). With this I have tried to streamline what I will do in 2016. I'll be sharing them in 2 posts. You are welcome to partner, copy, criticize (constructively) or give your own view point or idea to improve what I already have. Cc My big bro pavore9, Kalusam, hotmas911. [/quote[color=#000099][/color] Jasper7 I would like to talk 2 u about cucumber farming cud u pls contact me on 08032257931. |
