Omo..op I was opportune to serve in Kogi state in a village rich with cashew trees and palm trees, though I don't know much about cocoa but I will advise you to go for cashew.
I never knew Cashew was profitable untill I served in that village. A bag of cashew normally fluctuate within the price of 45k to 70k . Though the first 3 to 5 yrs you will just be maintaining the plants and making sure the plant are in good condition.
However,you might even start cashing out before the 4th or 5th year and one good thing is that you won't be spending much in it processes compared to the others ..And it continues like that forever.

By the way op ..I am unemployed oo . U can also employ me , I can be working for you on your farm

If you are looking to make good money,go for oilpalm
Out of the 3 crops;cocoa, cashew and oilpalm
Oilpalm has the highest value added index
You can process palm fruits into palm oil,palm kernel oil,sell the palm kernel shaft,make broom,etc
Its more capital intensive to process cashew,and cocoa to their respective other value added products.
You either sell raw cashew or the raw cocoa with no value added to it to make money.

2 hectare of raw cashew nuts will give you 1 ton at first commercial harvesting which is about 300k -400k
2 hectare of cocoa will give you about 800kg which is about N450k
2 hectare of oilpalm will give 10 tonnes of processed palm oil at let's say N800 per kg
10 tons is 10,000kg
Which is about N8m
So 2 ha of oilpalm farm will give you N8m
Now compare 8m to 400k and 450k cashew and cocoa will give you
Go for oilpalm!!

Explore your marketing options there in lies your decision. If you have a ready market close by then there is your money.

I see some suggestions like banga etc how does one package this, high grade steel if you do not want to poison people not a small outlay.

In what form can you sell it.

Obascoetubi:
I thought u no be igala guy.

Wickedfacts:


They are talking about oil palm and cocoa, you're talking about pepper. You get sense so?

How many pepper farmers do you see riding Benz?
Cocoa farmers have been riding Benz before you were born.

sircatherine45:
The three crops you mentioned are perennial crops. Why don't you use the land to plant ephemeral and annual crops like vegetables, yam, cassava, pepper and other food crops?

Consider quick profitability, cost of before/during/after planting, and soil/fertilizer requirements before you go ahead.

Who are you really? Why do you all have the same signature? And why do you all keep sending me emails to connect?

No .market for rubber who tell you that, there are buyers in Delta, Edo state, Ondo and Ogun state, rubber is so profitable that they even steal it.

Rubber is known as smelling money and has a long life span in its raw form

2hectares would get you about 1400 stands of trees with a good clone you are looking at around minimum 200kg per week at local price of very low #300per kg and high #500 per kg.

Note if you stimulate, you can get 200 to 300% yield per week.

Go for oil Palm, everlasting

Happy new year my dear Nairalanders. I recently acquired 2 hecters of land which I originally planned to use for cocoa (TC series) plantation. But the land agent adviced I plant cashew instead while a friend said it's more profitable if I plant oil palm (Supergene)

As we speak, I have not concluded on which of the 3 crop to cultivate for a small holder plantation of just 2 hecters.

Hence I decided to bring it here to seek your opinions. Your advise would be highly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation for your responses.

Been to Malaysia and I realise drum of palm oil costs more than a drum of crude oil , then I realised Nigerians are stupid dunkies

nurey:


I don't think it's in the exclusive list but importing into the country is expensive rather try and export it. Besides no developed country would sell you unprocessed rubber

Alcatel17:


So where can it be sourced cheaply n resold in d states u mentioned dat has buyers??
