Cost Analysis For a 10 hectares of Cocoa, Watermelon, and Plantain Mixed Cropping Plantation in Nigeria.

No doubt the cocoa market is $ 3 trillion dollars worth with Africa producing 70% of the market product but in return get a total of $3 billion dollars annually from this cash crops while the advance countries that buys this farm produce makes a kill of this non oil foreign exchange earner product because we dont have the initiative to be more engaging in the processing of this cash crop.

The purpose of this is to make money employing a more innovative means of farming cocoa for a possible returns in a 3 different farming ventures with the ultimate and primary product as the cocoa production. This is more like using a stone to kill 3 birds or alternatively called mixed cropping. While one serves as a canopy to the primary and intended crop, the other serves as fertilizer fixing agent and an humidifier. The combination of this 3 products as follows are cucumber meant to be harvested withing 3 months, plantain meant to be harvested within 8 to 12 months and cocoa meant to fetch you money after a successive 24 months or between 2 to 5years depending on the cultivar or varieties farmed. As we have the Armelonado, Forastero, Criollo, the trinitario, CCN-51.

Considering an ideal spacing capacity of between 1,200 suckers to 2,000 Suckers of plantain / hectare. This cost analysis is focused on 10 Hectares.
Given: An hectare to be = 2½ Acres,
and an Acre to be = 6 plots of standard 60ft X 120ft or 50ft by 100ft; an hectare = 15 plots or 100meters or 328ft on each of the 4 sides. Therefore 15 plots X 10 Hectares = 150 plots.
therefore, 10 Hectares = 25 Acres = 150 plots.
Here is the total expenditure and cost breakdown.

1. Land: #1.5 million naira at #150,000 Naira per hectare.
2. Land Preparation: #250,000 Naira
3. Hybrid Suckers of IITA standard (20,000) for 10 hectares: #2,000,000 Naira at #100 per sucker.
4. cocoa and watermelon seedlings for 10 hectares at : #300,000
4. Planting: farm labourers on farm #300,000 Naira.
5. Herbicides & Fungicides: ##250,000 Naira.
6. Employment of farm hands: #300,000 Naira,
7. Procurement of
fertilizers if 50kg per bag and 150kg is needed per hectare, at #7,000 per bag, #210,000+40,000 as T fair Naira & Farmyard Manure =#250,000
8. Miscellaneous Expenses, T fare, farm tools, shed or cabin & Wheel barrow: #350,000 Naira
9. Pre investment expenses: #200,000 Naira
10. Borehole or Irrigation, scaffolding and reservoir installations with water pump and hoes: #500,000 Naira.
11. Consultational fees: #500,000 negotiable
Total expenses if the Land were bought= # 6,700,000 Naira

RETURN ON INVESTMENT:
WATERMELON:

An hectare of watermelon needs just 3kg to 4kg of seedlings to yield a 20 to 30 tonnes of watermelon after 80 days to 100days, which d proceeds of 30 tones per hectare could possibly yield you 12,000 watermelon with each sold at 300 naira as some could weigh from between 5kg to 15kg respectively. that means an hectare of watermelon could yield you #3.6 million naira in d space of 3 months. therefore on 10 hectares your bound to get #36,000,000 or less at the end of 3 months.

PLANTAIN:
with a spacing of 5ft by 5ft or 1.5m by 2m, Considering that plantain fruits at the end of 8 to 12 months months, after which the tree is cut down to allow the cocoa tree to flourish for the rest of its 3 to 5years growth. if a stick is sold at #800 Naira, then 20,000 x 800= #16,000,000 = #16,000,000 Naira.
Therefore, Return on investment on plantain alone is = #16,000,000 - #6,400,000 = #9,600,000 on Plantain alone and if sold at #1,000 naira a stick, the return on investment would be #20,000,000 - #6,400,000 #13,600,000 naira.

COCOA:
A bag of cocoa in the international market right now is pegged at around $200 and that's currently at #62,000 naira a bag. using the jute bag, it is 65kg a bag and you need 16 bags of cocoa to make a tonne. Long trailers carry 30 tonnes and an hectare of cocoa will yield you btwn 1.5 tonnes or 2 tonnes. your cocoa can continue bro fruit for 3 decades that's why its considered a real green gold and foreign exchange.

Note!!! that your cocoa seed is sourced from a reliable dealer with quality disease resistant seeds and its well treated and quoted with fungicides before ever planted. An Hectare will take between 1,200 to 2,000 seedlings and must be 5ft by 5ft or 2m by 3m planting spacing. There are a lot of inventive integrated means of planting cocoa which is already been harnessed in Ghana, Ivory coast, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Philippines and Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Costa Rica, USA California, which a lot of Nigerians are yet to be updated with but I very much believe we have other similar experts in cocoa and I implore you to find their experts advice useful. Almost all south east, south west, south south and a few places in the north such as Adamawa and Taraba are durable for cocoa farming. Ondo state is ranked top in cocoa production in Nigeria, followed by Osun, Cross River, Oyo, Edo, Ekiti, Akwaibom, Ogun, Delta, Abia, Ebonyi, Rivers, Taraba and Adamawa. Be sure to consult the opinion of 3 to 4 experts before you embark on this innovative kind of venture.

9. Pre investment expenses: #100,000 Naira
10. Borehole or Irrigation: #500,000 Naira.
Total expenses if the Land were bought= #4,044,000 million.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT:
If its on a rented land at the cost of #50,000 naira for 10 hectares per year, it would be= #2,594,000 Naira. Considering that plantain fruits every 3 to 4 months, you can harvest at least 3 times a year from a tree. if a stick is sold at #800 Naira, then 10,040 x 800= #8,032,000 x 3 = #24,096,000 Naira.
therefore, Return on investment = #24,096,000 - #4,044,000 = #20,052,000 annually. Alternatively, if a stick is sold at #500 Naira, then 10,040 suckers x 500 sticks= #5,020,000 x 3 = #15,060,000 Naira
therefore, Return on Investment = #15,060,000 - #4,044,000 = #11,016,000 Naira.

Land Preparation: #250,000 Naira
Oga Ade please explain the following:
1. How do you intend to use N250,000 to do land preparation for 25 acres?
2. How will you do land preparation without land clearing?
3. You never made mention of soil test in order to determined the suitability of the proposed farmland or do you think plantain can just be planted anywhere?
I bet you know nothing about this crop called plantain or you are a backyard farmer.

Plantain can be planted in southern Nigeria without irrigation provided it gets at least 3 to 4 months of rainfall before the dry season.

The op seems to know little or nothing about Plantain farming. The first thing that came to my mind was the question word1 asked - what spacing? Planting 10,040 suckers in 10ha is planting with a spacing of 5m by 2m. The op is seriously not serious.

Why and how many activity conflict with yours, I realy dont understand, infact for this reason I will sell hybrid suckers for #80 for u to be worse pained. When d cats away, d cat will play, if u want to learn travel out of the country for once wt ur eyes open when u do and u will acknowledge that u know Zero!!!!!! if u want to express your grievance u can visit my office if u want to see me in person. In one hand I carry an Olive tree and in the other a big stick. pick ur opponent carefully except u hv money to waste in the court of law. No matter who u know and d connection u hv in this our Obodo Nigeria, b it a Royal Father, General, Chief Justice, AIG, I will make the process exhaustive and sweaty for u until ur dry and until u find bone in ur egg. I leave ur matta for Mattias and for Nairalanders to Judge ur ineptitude. The voice of d people is d voice of God. Guy upgrade and stop living in your 3rd world state of mind that u call world1

If you wrote this long epistle without you stating a single pointer to how you intend to harvest bunches of plantain from 1 single stem as you claimed in your writeup then you are the agricultural messiah we've been waiting for.
My brother, I wish you well in all your endeavours.

Please the guy made one interesting point I don't know before now. Can one plantain plant produce more than ones? Is that true? Thanks.
The guy is the new miracle worker. Claiming that 1 plantain producing more than 1 harvest is like saying a pregnant woman will keep giving birth to babies from 1 pregnancy.

Good morning Dear Nairalanders,
Its so unfortunate that we still have information marketers trying to post on agriculture section of this forum. Please if you are intrested in commercial plantain cultivation with best agronomy procedure you will spend between N300,000- N450,000 excluding land depending on your location.

Very timely.Great job

Please do you or any other person have idea on how I can get hectares or acres of land in Anambra state. I want to go into medium scale farming and if possible, I need up to 3 to 4 hectares of land. Your response would be highly appreciated.

Capital Expenditure and Cost Analysis For Plantain Plantation of 10,040 Hybrid Suckers on a 10 Hectares of Land In Nigeria.

Considering an ideal spacing capacity of 1004 Suckers of plantain on an hectare. This cost analysis is focused on 10 Hectares.
Given: An hectare to be = 2½ Acres,
and an Acre to be = 6 plots of standard 60ft X 120ft; and an hectare = 15 plots. Therefore 15 plots X 10 Hectares = 150 plots.
therefore, 10 Hectares = 25 Acres = 150 plots.
Here is the total expenditure and cost breakdown.
1. Land: #1.5 million naira at #150,000 Naira per hectare.
2. Land Preparation: #250,000 Naira
3. Hybrid Suckers of IITA standard (10,040): #1,004,000 Naira at #100 per sucker.
4. Planting: #100,000 Naira.
5. Herbicides: #250,000 Naira.
6. Employment of farm hands: #240,000 Naira,
7. Procurement of
fertilizers: #100,000 Naira.
8. Miscellaneous Expenses, T fare, farm tools & Wheel barrow: #100,000 Naira
9. Pre investment expenses: #100,000 Naira
10. Borehole or Irrigation: #500,000 Naira.
Total expenses if the Land were bought= #4,044,000 million.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT:
If its on a rented land at the cost of #50,000 naira for 10 hectares per year, it would be= #2,594,000 Naira. Considering that plantain fruits every 3 to 4 months, you can harvest at least 3 times a year from a tree. if a stick is sold at #800 Naira, then 10,040 x 800= #8,032,000 x 3 = #24,096,000 Naira.
therefore, Return on investment = #24,096,000 - #4,044,000 = #20,052,000 annually. Alternatively, if a stick is sold at #500 Naira, then 10,040 suckers x 500 sticks= #5,020,000 x 3 = #15,060,000 Naira
therefore, Return on Investment = #15,060,000 - #4,044,000 = #11,016,000 Naira.
Am sure there will be criticism, but all your points and criticisms are very much welcomed perhaps am spoiling the business for some wolves because I did not put #1,000,000 or #500,000 naira for consultation as some wolves in Nigeria will do only for their stomach and pocket.
You may sell your suckers for #200 naira if you chose to and I may sell for #80 naira if I chose to.
Well am sorry for alot of wolves like you out there cos its for this reason the country is not progressing and thriving businesses die. I know you wolves are out here on Nairaland looking for unsuspecting prey but don't be surprise if u find a lion. Just like we have cages for dogs, the prison is meant for criminals. I believe some people mistake my leniency and silence for a fool but don't be surprise to find out the opposite. The prison is hungry and it is built for those who flaw civic and constitutional law. I implore u to inquire into details the limit of your freedom of speech. "I no know" or "Abeg" don't exist in the court of law. If you are a wolf and want to stay out of prison, stay far from me and my ventures. I know the vultures are circling whenever and wherever you find the crucifix. I am a Christian but am not Jesus Christ, Steven or Apostle Paul (Saul the son of Tarsus the Butcher). I don't believe in mercy for an erring fellow nor give my audience to an individual with obscure ideology. I believe in an eye for an eye so be careful when you spill your bean pod at me. It doesn't matter weather u disclose ur identity here or not, but I must tell my antagonist that "No man is above the law" as long as you use a mobile phone you can be tracked down by the law enforcement agencies. Be wise and constructive in your speech and criticism. If you want forgiveness, go to the Church or wait till you get to heaven. If you ask me questions and I don't answer you, you should use your tongue to count your teeth and ask yourself whether you are a fool or not.
If you want to maime or nail me with your questions, pls be more honorable to drop your full contact details if you realy have the guts, after all, my address is visible for all to see.
If anyone believes I have scammed him or her at any time, pls kindly provide documenented evidence on this forum for all to see or better still report me to the law enforcement agent with proof.
Its either your part of the world's problem or part of the solution. Once again, I admit that I am spoiling the business for some wolves for the benefit of a larger audience and populace. If you feel aggrieved or rivaled, then am sorry for you! Homo homini Lupus!! Man is a wolf to his fellow man!
Wish you all success in your ventures.

Ade3000yrs:
I have nothing to say to you. I leave u to Nairalanders to do the needful with inciting and cantankerous elements like u. Look at all your Nairaland post and compare to mine. Guy u bluff and fumble too much. U hv to realy man up, because what I do is what real man do.

Mr Ade3000yrs, kindly ignore any element that is trying to talk you down on this forum. All 'they' do is post irrelevant and braggadocios content that has never solved the immediate need of upcoming farmers. I just stumbled on your posts and all I can say is that I got exactly what I've been searching all this while.
Your calculations may not be 100 percent accurate and some vital information may be left out though BUT the fact remains that your cost analyses on agribusiness are an eye opener for me and the rest who care to keep their peace on the forum.
Keep the good work brother and ignore 'bad belle'
We are behind you sir
