Dear friends,

I planned going into big time cassava farming next year.

Can anyone help me with a breakdown of what it may cost to farm 1 hectare of cassava?

for standard mechanized farming, it will cost you 670,000 naira Only

Forget about these Internet farmers.
They know nothing about farming just look at their analysis.
Now Let me educate you on cassava farming business.
Let assume you want to farm on an hectare of land which is 100m by 100m equal to 10,000m square.
Land clearing during the january /February period will cost you 15000 to 25000 depend on the locations.
Next stage is Tilling and Ridges by tractor or manual, but tractor will be much better and will cost you around 20,000 to 30,000 depend on your locations.
Other stages include herbicide spraying and planting of cassava, you will need like 4 litres of herbicides and 50 bundles of cassava stems for 1 hectare of cassava farm which will cause you around 75,000 for proper planting of 1 meter spacing.
It take cause 9 to 12 months to reach maturity stage and it depends on the species.
Harvesting is done by hand and like me I sell by ton no further processing because of time and stress involve.
For an hectare of cassava farm highest I have uproot is about 63 tons about 2 years ago and was sold at 22500 per ton then.
Thanks
cassava farming is very lucrative no magic about it but it take time.

You are right. i just wanted to test him and he dodged the question. i have 3 hectares of cassava.

I would like to veenture into this as well but my fear is where to locate it and also the securities.

I would really appreciate your kind advice.

I live in Ogun State , Abule Ijoko, Sango Ota.

Fantastic analysis. Although it varies from one location to the other. Can cassava be planted in October?

hello house, can anyone give me idea about hiring a tractor for clearing about 50 acres of land in Iseyin, oyo state and also the idea of the price for the whole acres

With a business plan you can estimate correctly through a research on the amount or the cost of setting up a cassava farm

Wow. I must commend your analysis because I see it's details and look like a practising farmers but I however frown at your yield 63 tons because even all varieties of cassava by IITA yield are 25tons/Ha except the newly develop TMS 980505 (fine face) which is 32tonnes/Ha.

1. Which variety of cassava do you plan that gives such amazing yield even beyond the IITA seed centre own?

You could fence your farm, that would keep the terrorists out.

How many acres of land can you fence economically? It doesn't make any economic sense.
