How big is a bundle of cassava sticks? How many sticks to bundle? Enclosed is some sticks is that a bundle? Forgive what may seem silly question . But am African American and sponsoring a Cassava farm and we planted in Ghana and I hope the planting density is good.

pls i need urgent reply ,i want to know any other crop that i can plant with maize and cassava because i want to use 1hectare of land to plant maize and cassava on it am also looking for any other plant i can plant with it ,which will enable me to use chemical for weeding without affecting any of the crops,kindly specify the name of the chemical i can use.

TokyoBulls:
What do you propose to have this real life experience? You can work as an intern with a farmer (and get paid a token) or take practical trainings with farmers and pay them a fee. As much as possible, make sure you work on the farm and see how it really works. Most of the farmers I see on Nairaland do not own farms and experience has shown there's a major difference between what we think farming is and what it actually is.

Very much agree to your assertion that most farmers on NL do not have a farm.....google farmers things......all the same you could just read through their post as no knowledge is lost

Pls OP can 50k b used to grow a mixed plant of cassava n maize on a acre of land in variable regardless of location....from d cost of acquiring *leasing* d land till d time of harvest?.....if no what wld b d estimated cost

A bundle of cassava stems typically contains 50 (practically between 40 to 50) stems. Each stem is approximately 1m long. The picture shows bundles of cassava stems

50K is rather small (almost impossible) for one hectare unless the farmer will be actively involved and do most of the work himself. I believe an acre will need between 100K to 150K so one hectare will need close to 300K

This is the third time he is doing such. I have small circle of friends from Nairaland that i relate withh offline. I don't know him

Agrotrust:
more profit can be made from cassava if you can process your cassava yourself into finished product such as gari, flower, starch, chips if u have the capital to acquire cassava processing equipment

Pls if I want to process into garri myself and or flour.
What equipments are required and price to set up the mini processing?
Pls mail it to me or whatsapp 08069387799.
I may not b aware of ur reply bcoz the post has bn awhile now.
Thanks

One of the biggest cassava processing plants/factory in Africa is in Kogi state. Needing about 500 tons daily of cassava tubers. Hit me up on : 09073065879 for details and discussion.

Pls sir @ TokyoBulls i want to start a farm of 75 acres of cassava and maize i really need ur help

A round of applause for you sir! I wish I can concisely write as you have done. But let me attempt.

I made 110% ROI from the cassava farm I cultivated last year and sold this year (March/April) and last year I made 48% ROI. I planted the same stem though the farm are in different location.
So what changed? A lot of factors are responsible.

RealityShot:

I can't wait to combine cassava and plantain farming!

No bush burning.. .
Constant mulching...

Please don't do it. None of the two will do well. You have three scenario in the combo
1 . plant cassava then plantain
2 . plant plantain then cassava
3 . plant both same time

In the 1st and 2nd scenario one would shade each other, while in the 3rd scenario the stunting and competition will result to regrets.

Interesting

Agrotrust:


Profit calculation based on one hectare calculation (1ha)
A virgin land produces about 25 to 28 tonns/ ha @ 15,000 to 17,000

Let’s say about 26 tonnes x 17,000 = 442,000 expected sale

expected sales - expenditure = profit

Thanks OP for this analysis. But what about breakdown of labour cost for harvesting

are u telling me if u intercrop maize& casava, ur yield. will low.

Pls what did chemical X and Chemical Y stand for.

Agrotrust:
Dear all,

the cost of cultivation of cassava varies from location please find out about the actual price in your location. this is just a guideline as the farming season draws close
[center]LAND PREPARATION FOR CASSAVA[/center]

Ploughing: this is the primary tillage to loosen or turn the soil.
PLOUGHING (single operation)/ acre = N4500
2.5 acres = 1hectre : N 4500 *2.5= N11, 250/hectare

HARROWING: is an implement for breaking up and smoothing out the surface of the soil. This operation is very important as far as cassava cultivation is involved. The more the soil is loosened, the better the chances of having large cassava roots.
HARROWING (single operation)/ acre = N4500
2.5 acres = 1hectre : N 4500 *2.5= N11, 250/hectare



PLANTING MATERIALS
1 hectare requires 60 bundles of cassava stems
1 bundle of cassava stem cost N 350
Therefore, 1 ha/60 bundles will be N 350* 60= N21, 000/ha

FIELD OPERATIONS
Planting: cost of this operation /ha = N10000
Spraying of herbicides: 1 ha requires 4litres of chemical X @ 1500 each (N6000/ha)
4litres of chemical Y @ 2500 each (N10000/ha)
N16000 Per Ha
Weeding
First weeding occurs 6-8 weeks after planting and the price is area dependent
1 ha cost N20, 000


Second weeding
Occurs at Months after planting. Depending on the nature of the farm; if weeding is still necessary, it will be done but if a canopy producing variety is cultivated, chemical spray will be preferable.
In-case of chemical weeding, 1 ha = N6000
Labor = N5000/ha
Third weeding
If it would be necessary, it surely will be chemical weeding.
In-case of chemical weeding, 1 ha = #6000
Labor =# 5000/ha

Op can someone plant cassava and maize together?

Will it make my cassava output low?

will be waiting for yur reply Thanks

I'm waiting for this reply too. I'm about planting both on 2Ha but waiting for NIMET signal. My colleague said its better but not convinced

RealityShot:

If I have 1hectare to farm..
I will surely build a processing plant on it..
Its pride and lack of access to land that's keeping youths
from making huge capital from Farming.

AGRICULTURE IS VERY PROFITABLE MY FRIEND

its just pride
almost everyone has access to their village ancestral land
see empty land on highway
no be pesin get d land
dem no fit beg d pesin to borrow dem
abeg may den enter bush hammer
