Castor Farm Colony takes off by Alpha2k(m): 6:20am On Mar 01, 2018 |
Updated 24th March 2018. 2½ years Castor colony: Cost estimates for 1 hectare farm : Locations: 1. Lukosi, off lukosi market, papalato - shagamu road, Ogun State. 2. Ishoku village, via MOKOLOKI, on papalanto - shagamu road. Ogun state. Crop: Castor bean seeds. Setup Cost: N350k covering Land lease, land preparation, seeds, planting and agrochemicals. 2. Maintenance and harvest labour: 20% of sales after each harvest. To offset labour cost for weed and pest control, nutrient application and harvesting. R. O. I. per hectare: 2 tons x N300k per ton = N600k per harvest every 6 months. Market: Buyers will be invited to the farm to lift it while we prepare for extraction of oil in no distant future in order to add value to our produce. Land preparation starts in April while actual planting will be done from 1st week of May Harvest periods: 1st harvest: Oct-Nov. 2018. 2nd harvest: Apr-May. 2019. 3rd harvest: Oct-Nov. 2019. 4th harvest: Apr-May. 2020. 5th harvest: Oct-Nov. 2020. * modified* 3/4/18. Planting stock will now be distributed free to every farmer. Hence, 30k less of total setup cost of 350k. 1 Like

Pls who are the buyers |
Re: Castor Farm Colony takes off by Nobody: 9:17am On Mar 25, 2018 |
skipo01:350,000 for cultivation and 600,000 from harvest and another 20% deducted from sales (100k). My people, go and look for another investment opportunity. He has to show his farm and location before any sensible person will drop a penny. No right thinking person will invest in a Virgin project. |
Re: Castor Farm Colony takes off by Alpha2k(m): 3:23am On Mar 26, 2018 |
EMMAACHILE:1. Set up is done once while harvest is for years even beyond 3yrs. 2. You are also free to do your farm management to avoid paying 20% for labourers who will constantly carryout weeding, pest control, nutrient application and harvesting. 3. Buyers are already on standby and the current buying rate per ton is slightly higher than 300k. 4. Yield per hectare will move up above 2 tons as the plants grow bigger. Many thanks. Further details, feel free to ask. |
