Back to farm with an investment plan

I have been away from the farm for sometime.
But I actually did come back with some good tidings..

I had been meaning to keep the good tiding to myself but I read "Steve Harvey" book that prompt me to share

How many of us know about the cashew nuts market early this year?

For some times now cashew nuts trade has silently been on the increase.

Mainly for exports

Actually it's called the "Farmers Gold" in my area

I wrote sometimes ago lamenting on how Farmers are turning all the farm land to cashew farm

Sure they are still doing that

The previous varieties we have take 3 years from planting to maturity.

But science are not resting, they keep working to have improve seed of everything

Hence they came out with the one of shorter life span

Considering the stress of managing vegetables that require 24hrs monitoring and maintainance, cashew is relatively a child's play

Now we have cashew tree that matures for harvesting between 6months-1year

You transplant the seedling in a good soil
And you start harvesting in 6 months

What am I saying?
That land at the back of your house can be utilised

An hectare can take average of 200plants
An acre will take average of 80 plants
A plot will take average of 13 plants

A tree should give you minimum of 10kg nut
First harvest will be low
Subject to increase

A tonne of Cashew last sold between N550,000- N650,0000

Minimal management
Reduced labour wahala
Plenty market access
Harvest for the next 15-20 years

Let's plant a tree

Edited
Seedling is N2,000
Minimum of 10 per booking
3 weeks booking for culturing

It's not about owning a farm. It's about productivity

So many people want to own a land mass they can easily call their farm

Imagine the scenario where you spend millions to billions setting up your farm with all modern day farm machineries, boreholes, standard farm structures etc and you lack good management thereby losing all the funds

I know several farms scattered over Nigeria especially in the South West that has all the modern day gadgets but are not functioning due to maintenance and management

The farms are locked down
The equipments are rusting
The buildings are deteriorating

That's when thieves and scavengers are not there to select

I have written severally that farming can never be an hobby

Farming can never be a side business

Farming can not be managed on a part time basis

Farming require strong capable hand

Farming require expertise.

Farming is just like every other business that you give 10000% attention to for it to succeed

I see so many people that just want to quickly invest something and make millions within the next 6 months

Even the 3 months training is not sufficient to set up a farm sustainably.

It's just preliminary

My fourth year on the farm doing purely practical and I am still learning to improve the system

Please dont be in hurry to set up a farm.
Don't be in hurry to recoup the fund

And most people actually do go for quacks to set up farm for them in the bid to spend less money

They end up spending triple of the fund they are trying to save without achieving anything

The Nigeria system see farm consultation as a no no. They wonder why they should pay for consultation

After all they can easily get plenty internet information and others to do the work for them

I have witness so many incidence

I once refer some people to a consultant I know in a field since I am not in that field.

They came back to tell me the consultation fee is too expensive and they got somebody else.

Great. I said

Few months later or years later

They always come to give me the story that touches

All finances gone down the drain with nothing to show for it.

A word they say is enough for the wise
