With eye openers to the economic impact of plantain products .

Firstly plantain is known as Musa paradisiaca botanically, and it's a plant which is mesophytic and hydrophillic that they need medium to large amount of water for rapid and steady growth. It takes plantain to grows from an underground rhizome reaching 12 to 15 feet tall with huge leaves, which wrap around the trunk. To obtain fruit, this tree needs 10 to 15 months without freezing temperatures to produce flowers and another four to eight months to grow plantains.

This shows it's a very healthy source of food for both the old and young . And more interestingly the unripe plantain is the most healthy for consumption for the elderly because of its high percentage in iron and calcium with helps the bone.

ECONOMIC IMPACT OF PLANTAIN.
Plantain can be diverted in production, but for the Nigerian market we basically consume the following ...
*Plantain in its raw form
*Blended for flour
*Chips as snacks e.t.c
Which is a very great source of revenue for the farmers.

SETUP ROUTINE.
*Select site (farm land)
*Prepare the land
*Spacing 2.5m X 2.5m or 3m X 2m - at this spacing 1hectare should comfortably house 1660 plants .
*Plant the suckers
*Fertilize at 3months interval for maximum yeild.
*Harvest.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS.
The financial analysis on planting may vary from location to location and also time of the year so it's always advisable to consult an expert in the field so as to determine the exact cost needed.

But for sales and profit in respect to 1 one hectare
At least a mature bunch of plantain will go for at least #800 to as much as #1100 depending on how well it thrives and the nearness to market...
Mathematical breakdown- 1660 X #800 = 1,328,000
This means if well managed your profit is well over a million naira in the first year of harvest whereas the bunch of plantain are relatively smaller and has not gotten to its peak , that is there is more profit into the years ...

Why Bee keeping?
Beekeeping or apiculture could be a lucrative venture in Nigeria if done and marketed rightly. Those who started bee farming have attested to its high profitability.

Moreover, besides profit, there are additional benefits you enjoy from engaging in bee keeping.

If you are already a farmer, and you are interested in keeping bees, it’s advisable that you site your apiary (location where bees will be kept) in the midst of fruit trees such as mango, citrus, etc.

Placing bee hives in a fruit farm will boost pollination; thereby, multiplying the harvest, as bees are popularly referred to as agents of pollination.

Asides getting honey from bees, numerous products can be extracted from bees which serves as raw materials used by giant companies to produce major products. Products include bees wax, propolis, etc.

Before starting bee keeping in Nigeria, you have to seek knowledge from experts and attend its training.

You might work as an apprentice in a reputable bee farm or go for a practical training

After gaining knowledge, the next step is to draw up an apiary business plan which would serve as your guide on how to start and make profit from your venture.

Major aspects to be considered before investing...!

*Why Should You Start Bee Farming?
There re many important reasons why beekeeping in Nigeria is the best agribusiness for you. Some of such reasons are:
Honey is a good source of nutrition to human diet. It is a rich source of carbohydrate, minerals, and vitamins.
Honey keeps the human body mentally alert and physically strong.
It is a complement of many traditional and orthodox medicines.
It helps preserve the ecosystem, and increases production of a particular farm crops via pollination.
It increases your revenue generation as you process it on the farm. This in turn, adds more value to the raw products.

*What Is A Hive?
A hive is a box for keeping the bees. The hives can be made from various materials, and their functions are to ensure that the bees build their nests so that they can be managed easily; and also to aid easy movement for the bees. The three categories of hives are:

Fixed comb hives made from clay, wall, log, tree bark, etc.
Movable comb hives which comes in various styles. A popular one is Top-Bar hives.
Movable frames hives such as Langstroth and Dadant, etc.
Hive Tips:

Put the hives beside the source of water and in shades of green leafy trees to avoid hot temperature.
Paint the hives in white colour to reflect sunlight rather than absorb it. This will help keep the hives cool.
In case there are no green leafy trees, erect artificial shades to control the temperature inside the hives.

*What Quantity Of Honey Can Be Gotten From A Bee Hive?
As a farmer, you should expect to get up to 10-15 litres of honey per hive.

*How Much Is Needed To Start Bee Farming In Nigeria?
Interestingly, with as low as N100,000 or even as high as N5million Naira, you are good to go.
Bee farming is one of those agricultural ventures that can be started with less or more capital. To help reduce cost, it is recommended that you purchase locally made bee equipment like bee hives for beekeeping.

*What Kind Of Land Is Required For Bee Keeping In Nigeria?
Unlike other forms of agriculture, owning a land isn’t a necessary requirement for bee keeping. You can lease a land; or alternatively, partner with fruit farmers who have citrus and mango trees in their farmlands. In turn, your bees will help pollinate the fruit trees, and of course, increase the products of the farmers, thereby increasing their revenue stream.

List of Lucrative Farming in Nigeria
The prospect for farming in Nigeria is so high that only a fool will ignore it. Having said that, let’s take a closer look at some of the types of Farming that does very well in Nigeria.

1. Rice Farming
Nigeria has one of the world’s highest Rice consumption stat. Rice is by far one of the most popular staple food among Nigerians. Almost every family eats rice daily in Nigeria. In 2011 alone, Nigeria spent N991billion on rice importation and the rice we import is said to be nothing less than 10 years old in storage. That means we spent billions buying rice that has since lost its nutritional values.

Any entrepreneur who goes into rice farming and get it right is sure to be smiling to the bank. A bag of rice is currently sold for N13,000 to N16,000 depending on the quality. A farmer who is able to invest in large scale rice production in Nigeria and able to produce 100,000 Bags of processed Rice in a year, sell at wholesale price of about N10,000 per bag, he will be making 10,000 x 100,000 = N1,000,000,000 ($3million)

You can achieve the above figures conveniently with less than five hundred and fifty million Naira ($1.5 Million) capital investment. I am currently looking for who to partner with in this. If you have the cash, I have the logistics and good planning to achieve this result. Serious investors only!

2. Cassava Farming
The popularity of cassava as the major source of food for Nigerians dates back to ages. Between Garri and Rice, it is hard to tell which one is the most popular food in Nigeria. Both are the most consumed food staples among the citizen. I think if one is the King the other should be the Queen.

A bag of Garri costs almost the same as a bag of rice. Apart from garri, there are countless of other food stuffs that are processed from Cassava in Nigeria. The introduction of the high yield species of Cassava has made it possible for Nigerian cassava farmers to produce more cassava per plot. Nearly every land in Nigeria is good for growing Cassava and 1 Acre, when properly planted and managed can produce thousands of Naira worth of cassava in a year!

3. Plantain Plantation
One thing I like about Plantain is that when planted once, it keeps producing year in year out for eternity. Like Rice and Garri, Plantain is widely consumed in Nigeria. Any food that is popular in Nigeria is always a huge income earner due to the population of the country.

I really haven’t seen Farmers in Nigeria taking advantage of the opportunity in Plantain Farming to create wealth for themselves. Plantain is highly priced in Nigeria and is always in high demand all year round. Fry it, Boil it, Roast it — it will never get angry with you, that’s how liberal Plantain is. I can tell you, Millions of Naira is currently lying fallow untapped in this sector of Farming in Nigeria.

4. Poultry Farming
Everyone knows how profitable poultry farming is, it doesn’t need much introduction. Yet, it is still not fully tapped. What we currently have is few badly managed, scantily equipped poultry farms here and there. I’m yet to see a full fledged, high tech poultry farm except Obasanjo Farm.

Entrepreneur who is able to fire up serious investment into this sector will have huge profit to contend with. The reason is because Nigerians eat chicken more than snakes does and 70% of our consumption still based on importation. The egg is yet another goldmine!

5. Pineapple Farming
Money is sweet, everything sweet is money, and Pineapple is sweet. Ask any Australian Farmer and he will tell you how huge the income in Pineapple farming is in their country. Any juice maker that doesn’t have Pineapple flavor variety in his product line is not yet in business. That tells you how popular Pineapple is, not only in Nigeria but worldwide.

Nigeria seems to have better soil for Pineapple Farming than Australia where Farmers are making it big in the business. A Pineapple sells in Mile-12 market in Lagos for about N200. If you are able to harvest one million in a year, you will earn at least N80 x 1,000,000 = N80,000,000

6. Beans Farming
A bag of Beans cost twice more than a bag of Rice and Garri. The Northern Nigerians are making it big in Beans Farming, supplying almost all over Nigeria and beyond. But one thing is that, this same Beans also can do very well in the South East, South West, and South South Nigeria soils. So why only the North?

7. Catfish Farming
Catfish Business is really hyping in Nigeria right now but how many are really getting it right? Get it right and you’re in money. A single Catfish sells for N700 in Restaurants and about N400 in open market.

8. Goat Rearing
Its only in the North that goat is reared in commercial quantity. I don’t know why we are so looking down on farm investment in the South even though there are millions to be made in this business. Why would you chose to sell used shoes in Oshodi and make few thousands of Naira every year when you could engage in productive farming business and make millions of Naira?

In The USA and Australia, Farmers are among the Richest people – Get involved in professional goat rearing and make money for yourself. A full grown goat sells for between N15,000 to N40,000

9. Snail Farming
I see Snail Farming really picking up in Nigeria very soon — but if you don’t hurry up, others will make all the money before you realize what you are missing. The potential in this business for you is about N50,000,000 Annual revenue.

10. Maize Farming
You will never know the profit in Maize Farming in Nigeria until you try it. One thing I like about maize is that everything happens fast. It takes less than Four months between planting and harvesting
