I don't have farm now. I am still looking for land. I just moved here from Lagos in middle of May, though I still go to work in Lagos but I want to go into farming as a retirement past time

you will get land even near water to enable you irrigate.
planting okro, ugu, egg plant, pepper or Soko is good now.

Please what are the pests that affect cocoyam and how do you control them!

small mammal digging up the tubers. good weed control is OK to reduce the incidence.

At 150 naira per plant, is it during the dry season?

between January and March

There are many Nairalanders that came through my posts and have settled down with their farms all around the area. some with multiple acres and some with one or two acres. in all, I will always give each my attention and assistance as some are new to commercial agriculture.

note: 5k lease is for the land owners. and since they are giving out many acres , it is better to do bulk lease.

A million thanks for all your contributions to the topic.
We already have in place a 2" pumping machine, hoses and pipes.
The land we are using is a bit sloppy and terminates by the stream.
Fuel consumption is low as the size of machine and low pressure to pump because the land is a bit sloppy.
Reducing cost of production is the key. I use 6 liters of fuel per day. change oil myself. except when there is a major fault with the machine.
it is not always an easy task. it is work, work and work to get the targets for the investor. Then the gains follow.

current price is 2k per bag. to hit 4k by January.

those doing dry season farming can take advantage of the sections near the stream

Available for sale is 5 acres of plantain farm at N550k each. this include the land.
Location is okoluwo village, Iro, obafemi owode, Ogun state.
09050568971

plantain is good to go on a leased. land. just pay your annual rent.

20,000 plant population is too high. Each plant will grow to occupy 1m sq. hence, it will only take 10,000 plants in practice.
Any investor can take land any where and manage by him self or put a manager.
There is also suitable land in my operational area to execute the same project for any serious investor.
Land lease and preparation cost is minimal as all process is manually done.

lease to buy is very much allowed depending on the duration you desire to lease before buying. this will be factored in the agreement.

you can take advantage of the streams around mokoloki. a farming community in Ogun state, one hour drive to Lagos market .

Cost estimates for for 1 hectare of garden eggs farm near stream.

1. Land lease and preparation 80k.
2. Seedlings and Transplanting 100k.
3. Fertilizer and pest control 80k.
4. Weed control (x2) 70k.
5. Irrigation 120k
Total cost 450k.

Sales:
10,000 garden eggs plants on one hectare in 3 months of harvesting will generate friuts of N150 per plant after the first 2 months growth phase of the plant.

Market:
From the present one I am harvesting and selling, the market is stable and will appreciate as the dry season sets in proper.
No glut. Local and big markets is good to go.
