2-3 weeks takes care of the nursery stage of most of cabbage varieties l know of. Improved seeds are easily accessible here in Nairobi, there is a street called Kijiabe, it has about 5 seeds companies on that stretch. You go through the shelves where one is spoilt for choice especially the veggies sections. You get to sit one on one with a staff who advises what seeds are best for your location and how to go about its cultivation. Funny enough, 3 of the seed companies told me they regularly get calls and emails from Nigeria.

I guess with time, we will get there.
GOOD BUSINESS IDEA.

AgricultureRe: Cost Of Point Of Lay And Tomato Production by alakara(m): 7:17pm On Oct 20, 2016
Hipsofagoddess:
Good evening all, please I need your help and guidance. I'm planning on going into tomato planting and poultry(layers). How do I go about it. I would love to get a land in Ikorodu, how much would 3 plots of land cost? How much is point of lay? Where can I get good tomato seeds? How much would the construction of the bird cage cost? What are the things I need to put in place for the project to be a successful one?

I would appreciate your answers. Thanks.
Firstly,you need a business plan togive you direction.
Secondly,you need to understudy a poultry farmer and a tomato farmer.
Or a farmer that practice both.
Then you need capital and the other things.

I want to venture into poultry I have gained knowledge to start up but im asthmatic and I heard its not good to come in contact with poultry dung and feed as it cause irritants. p.s help
I don't think it's a go area because of your health issues.
even if you employ farm workers, you still need to monitor them or won't you go there at all?

Thanks to everyone for the valuable contributions to this thread. I am about to start my own farm but intend to start with Point of Lay birds for some economic reasons despite the capital cost.

Can anyone recommend a trusted farm where I can purchase POLs? My farm is located close to Asaba in Delta State.

Thank you.
You can start with pol or poc.
But u must be careful based on the pol of lay you wants to buy, because some pol vaccination and medication is not complete and the seller will just sell it to gullible members of the public

That should be a respiratory distress in order words CRD. Few things could cause that. The maize in the feed if not well dried, mild form of Newcastle or the pneumotropic strain could come with respiratory distress too. Crd itself could be the major cause but post morterm will give you the final answer. I will tell you how I handle such case but remember what works for me may not work for you when it comes to poultry. If no mortality for PM, I administer garlic and ginger when the symptoms are not well pronounced. It will only work at the early stage of the onset of the disease. Then vaccinate against Newcastle disease. If symptom persist, I administer Tylo-fura or tylodox. If I have any mortality I treat based on the lesions I observed. My little opinion though. . . Thank you. I stand to be corrected!

Dear Fellow Nlanders,


A brother has a farm around southwest region of Nigeria but he is not based in Nigeria. There are problems with management of the farm from the leadership of the staff to accountability.

In view of the above I want to take up the management role so that we can put the farm back into profit making

The farm has a poultry, piggery, ducks and lot of moringa.

KINDLY ADVICE ON HOW TO MANAGE THE MANAGER/STAFF SO THAT THEY CAN GIVE THIER BEST AND STOP SHORTCHANGING THE FARM OWNER.

Thank you.
