basic real estate..


U buy a property (house, land) with for the value(initial price) to appreciate, then u sell it.


It means u buy at an initial amount and sell at a higher price..simple basic..

Like any other thing it has it's ups and down but trust me it's up are always marvelous ask Donald trump, Robert kiyosaki..this people made their fortune from real estate..


U should also download videos from YouTube on how to invest in real estate..!

Your suggestion is irrelevant given the amount in question. You can't even rent a room for 300k were I live let alone getting a plot of land for 35million here. Going into food stuff will be better people eat everyday.

LionDeLeo:


The only livestock farming I understand is cattle.

You buy them when they are lean/emaciated, treat them, mostly de-worming and give them Ivomec (cattle multivite) and procaine injection against infections. A seasoned non-fulani cattle businessman will readily assist you.

Don't bother discussing with the Fulanis because they are mostly illiterates and they can't be of help.

If you keep them with any cattle businessman who also keeps cattle for just 3 to 4 months, I doubt if you will ever stop the business.

The only snags here are;

1. You require at least a million naira, to enjoy it very well.

2. The chance of finding a businessman in that line of business who will readily allow you to join your cows with his own for the period is slim. Some of them will want to do the investment on your behalf and adopt a profit-sharing formula, not a good idea. (Don't attempt Fulanis, some of them are criminals)

I was in the business before but I'm not stable in one place now due to my job demand.

As I have stated, that is the only animal business I understood very well.

You have spoken well. My dad and his friend lost over 25 cows to cattle rustlers.

kindredspirit:


That might not be the case. IMO, the days of glut in Cassava are gone. The value chain has made sure of that. I can confidently tell you that the supply will not meet the demand at harvest time next year, mark my words. Cassava will finally earn it's name: "WHITE GOLD".

What new changes have happened along the value chain? Still the same Garri consuming the largest percentage of production. I haven't seen an increase in manufacturing of Cassava starch or any other by products by products. No improvement in preservation methods for raw Cassava. Nothing new in logistics. So what area of the value chain has seen an improvement that should help stomach the radical increase in production?

The increase is happening because the price of Garri went up so people figure it would be profitable and then rush in and then there is a glut and prices drop, people get burned and rush out and the circle keeps going.

We need to improve on our processing capacity for us to be able to preserve the excess production and probably start looking to create markets outside the country for the value added Cassava products

Pls where can one make enquires to farm on free land in ondo state

LionDeLeo:


That is why I said, depending on his environment.

You can get land free for farming in places like Benue and Ondo state.

cat fish hmmmmm not advisable for a startup ooo try something thing else first when your comfortable you can venture into fish business.... Cat fish will make your 300k look like 30k

You can invest your money in catfish hatchery business.The start up capital is very small and there are rooms for improvisation.The returns on investment can be as high as 300%(ROI)


The major hurdle which you have to cross is the technicality of the business.This can be surmounted by taking time to learn the rudiments and having a good grasp of the techniques involved.

Do you know Owo?

Where the federal medical centre is, i know owo

LionDeLeo:

funmisticqueen:

Yeah, there is FMC Owo, but you can't expect to have a farmland near the hospital because that is a residential area, though subsistence farming practices cannot be ruled out. But generally, Owo has vast arable farmland and with good discussion with the farmers, you can a free farmland during a farming season (but only for the farming oh!)

Thanks, it may seem loike a lot of questions but who i go to ask, the oba/chiefs, local goverment? Who

Don't even bother asking all those people because it will rather be too formal and you know the bottleneck that comes with formalities.

Just discuss with the farmers, some of them can't cultivate on the whole of their farmlands.

And since you are a female, they will not have much problem in terms of security and it is even better for a farmer to allow you to farm on his land than to be allocated a plot. The advantage is that, the residents may assume he cultivated it himself and no one will dare try to be funny when the produce are ripe for harvest.

The farmer that gives you his land may also help you source for workers who you will give token for their labour.

Just give it a try, you will understand better.

can u message me so we discuss?09020140964 or japusam@gmail.com

Thank you, God bless you

You should have advised him to invest part of the 300 thousand naira to acquire an airline and the balance in car manufacturing.

You should be in Buhari's economic advisory team!

@OP, cassava farming is a good one. The crops aren't perishable and the demand, like most agricultural products, is ever high!
I intend dabbling into it too from next year.

Dude procaine is not antibiotics. It is procaine penicillin. Procaine is just to numb the pain of injecting the penicillin.

PapaBrowne:


Too many people have farmed cassava this year, which means during harvest next year, there would be serious glut meaning there would be difficulty finding markets for products and the prices would be so low! Sorry to burst our bubble!

There's nothing like glut for nonperishable goods, my dear, much less the almighty cassava.
Cassava can never be too much in Nigeria!

Mcweber:
That means I will have to get a land if I am to dabble into that which I don't really think is within the above mentioned capital

And must you buy a land before you can plant cassava? They borrow it because the next one you will plant won't be on the same land again because of lost nutrients, so you will need to shift to another borrowed land for planting another one against another season.

Think of us as your partner in progress.

rottenegg:
Depending on 2 things;
1) Do you have land?
2) Location or where you reside?

If you have #1 and its almost 250sqm in area or more, then just buy water leaf and plant. Buy organic manure and have a point to irrigate... Make as many water leaf beds as possible...
Thank me later

How long does it take to mature and how much is a bed going for

With just #300k,he will be able to do all you have listed.

Do you even know the cost of raising a pullet to POL now?

odukoyayinka:
I studied agriculture sir
you can actually start a poultry
fishery
and probably get a small scale land where you can invest heavily in vegetables...
if you had a land cassava would've been ideal
i implore you to go with either chicken or fish...or both of them....you can do both layers and broilers.....became because broilers are seasonal....but layers....you make your money when they lay...wish you success bro

You can start by partnering with existing farm owners or let experienced farmers guide you. I can be of assistance if you don't mind.

Mcweber:
Hello Nairalanders... Pls I want to know any profitable business one can start with a small capital of 300-350k. I know the said amount is a little change in Nigeria today to start up a business but still, no matter how small it is I know it will definitely start up something.

NB - I am very much interested in farming business but I'm not totalling rulling out the possibility of other businesses

brother if you leave in Kaduna I will encouraged you to venture into ginger farming very profitable.

Depends on the care you give. Adequate water(not water logged) and a good fertile land and within 2 weeks, your ready to harvest. Now the trick is in the beds. If you can conveniently create 10beds of 4ft x 10ft(or more) your in business.
Just get the market women to come buy from you every 3 days. Depending on how many beds you intend to harvest every 3 days...this timing can vary, especially when you have a lot of beds.
Here at Akwa Ibom...a 25kg bag of water leaf from the farm goes for 3k. 2 well maintained beds will give u a bag using my 4ft x 10ft.
Remember, take care of your crops and it will in turn take care of you.
Its not going to be easy....bugs n all but its damn well profitable!

Regardless of your farm is located go and start fllw did procedure ....


First , enter bush and cut plenty wood that can grow with time and use it to make a temporary fence layout .

Stage 2 : visit any horticulture farmer around you .. Those guys that plant flower beside the road ..

Tell him u need a security fence a crawler .

Orange tree chuk chuk dey learn work. All those guys that wet flower have it and it cost 10 naira per plant at Nursery stage can't say again ...

10,000 naira own would do well for 50 acres of land ...

Close to it 5ft distance plant Thick tree ..(Tektonia gradis )botanical name can't remember the spellings again google it

Those electric poles u see around you was made with it . It cost 25 naira per plant at nursey stage in 2004...

2000 trees can be planted like fence at the edge of 50 acres of land and for sure after 10 years you habe a waiting reward

2000 trees multiply by #60,000 per log as at 2002 to 04

This is coming from a product of federal college of forestry I quit when obasaonjo said the school won't go for Youth service ...Racism

My first project was to plant 2000 of that Tree and submit to our H.O.D before our orientation day preparing us to be a Forest Guard... U can make ur research about the tree

U can go for Iroko tree , Timber if u like 20 years time you fell them use the money to fence it round ....

I'm teaching u how to make use of all opp around u ... Use tree as fence and in the nearest future you will see how nature will crown ur effort with style and swag
That is call u underground Technology

Just tell me the cost to raise:

* A pullet to point of lay

* A broiler for 8wks

Then let us see how he will combine both egg production and meat production using just #300k.

odukoyayinka:




yes sir...and it won't cost 300k man....I know what am saying
