40 tonnes averagely for tme419 variety

With good GAP (Good Agronomy Practices) Minimum of 25 tonnes is achievable.

Have you harvested and measured 40 tonnes from one hectare ?

Most farmers get between 5 to 7 tons per acres in Nigeria but truely you can get up-to 15 tons per acres but lot of work and best practice are involve..

South America and Asian countries have increase and improved their tonnage without increasing the cultivating area.

Yes, you ate right GAP can give up-to or even more per hecter

Did you measure it just using the Nissan truck as assumption

Its about 3 tonnes for pickup full. It was sold to the ethanol factory in koton karfe at the rate of 27,000 per tonne. Total tonnes measured was 40 tonnes

I was told it's 25,000 per tonne.

At best theoretically, provided all good agricultural practises are profitably engaged, it is 40 tonnes. However, the best we have seen now is 25 tonnes.

Maybe current price. It was 27,000 early this year.

Pls can you show us the picture of the pickup

Something like below

Something like below

3 tonnes can't enter this truck na, 3 tonnes is 60 bags of 50kg rice

For cassava its bagged in 100kg, so you saying 30 bags of 100kg cassava can fit in this pickup?

It will. Welders used to build extension on top of the carriage in such a way that it's on same roof level wt d driver /passengers compartment.

Its the pickup van fully loaded to the top. I am not sure if its the same size but it looks like this. The pickups are abundant in koton karfe area.

Sure but those pickups in Koton karfe are a little larger than this. Its almost like a mini Dyna. I will upload if I see the real car in Lokoja.

Great thread with eye opener info

Can someone tell us what GAP entails......

Can someone realise 30 -40 tons of 419cassava on one hectre?
