I know what to do with it. Would you be willing to pay for consultancy services ?

I'll start oil Pam farming or cocoa/plantain farming.

That's goldmine mehn!
Oga, abeg gimme just one acre.

Na plantain farming straight away.

With time, I will venture into other area like poultry and livestock.

If I have the capital ehn
10 acres for Plantain farming
10 for cabbage farming
20 for pepper and tomatoes farming
5 for different varieties of vegetables especially ugu
Remaining 5 for piggery and cat fish farming.
So I go dey make money every season.

See better ideas, Nigerians are great people, if the government can give us low interest loans like farmers in other countries, we would surely make a great nation.

how would you manage all these with the unreliable farm labour situation in the country?

Build a university with it's own secondary boarding school

I have always been saying this to people that all this unreliable farm hand situation boils down to the level of zeal, aura of leadership and the way the farmer owners treat their farm helps. If you treat them right you will expand bro.

Thats one of the reasons people go out of business in agriculture. Trying to be jack of all trades.

Pls select one (plant or animal) then stick with it through thick and thin, it'll become something

Lol, have you cultivated any of these plants successfully before? Managing this farm will be too stressful. The skill sets needed are too different. Nigerian workers are always looking to steal, how you treat them barely affects the situation. If you have employed before, you should know.

As for me,
10 acres for piggery and abattoir.
10 acres for black soldier fly larvae production and processing plant.
30 acres for moringa and processing factory.

It is an insect that is replacing protein needs of animals that is currently supplied by soya and fish meal.

If you know how to grow it, a hectare will produce 10,000 tons compared to 1,000 ton produced by soya on same size land.

Google the name. I learnt about the insect on nairaland. There are farmers in Nigeria already. Search YouTube too, there are very large farms in Europe and USA.

A lot. Construct pig pens, poultry pens and rent it out to farmers. Use the rest to grow crops.

It all depends on your capital and how much time you want to devote to the business.

No time for now oo. But you can contact successful farmers in that area to put you through. And you have to start small and grow.

Build a small pen.
Buy like 5 small goats.

Early morning you let them out to roam.
Evening time they come back to the pen.

land is very costly in Akure/Ondo compared to Oyo but what if I get about 5 acres of good fertile land in Akure, can you help me to set it up for vegetables and fruits? Target is the market in Onitsha.
