Sincerely, I won't have quoted nor reply your comment because of your childish way of presenting your point with abusive words.

Your last statement actually contradict your points which still further validate what the post is all about. This actually revealed you are here just to derail this post with the hope that I will be annoyed to start trading words with you. Let me quickly clarify that this post is not about how to make quick money (millions) from cocoa farming but to rather enlighten the public/intending cocoa farmers that cocoa cultivation is not as easy as it was been presented by most people on nairaland. I will advice you kindly go through my post again with an objective mind.

However, I will like to let you know that your theoretical analysis from your 25 years experience was still based on the primitive way and not modern cocoa farming with best management practices. I guess this is what gave you the impression that you can get all your expenses back within 3 years using the approach you highlighted in your comment. Though, i quite appreciate your approach but I'm 100 percent confident if you attach figures to it, you will be surprised that you can't break-even with it also. You won't know this because I guess those people you said you learn from have no adequate financial and yield records (I'm sorry if it sound abusive). If you are doubting me kindly highlight your expected costs and projected returns here for us to see.

However, since nobody has a monopoly of wisdom nor epitome of knowledge, I will quite appreciate if you can kindly highlight those figures how you want to get all your expenses back within 3 years without using abusive words so everyone can learn from it Sir.

Note: Please i will appreciate intellectual argument and not abusive words. Failure to do this will prevent me from responding to your comment.

Regards.

I really appreciates constructive argument, it's not all about superior idea but the need to learn a new thing in a new way. Break even is a relative term, which might not necessary uniform with respect to different situations surrounding establishment of farm. Someone who bought a land for a production will definitely be lagging behind in profit calculation when compared to someone that is farming on inherited properties. Mordern day farming really accomodate planting more than one crop with cocoa through farming system technology. You can contact Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria for this technology. It is a way of intercroping with cocoa in order to maximize the usage of the land. Today, it is possible to intercrop cocoa and oil palm in a hollow square design, however planting a biennial or annual crop with cocoa has been recommended because of quick returns from the farm. No one can give out a budget proposal of breaking even up here because some people don't really know, and they want to use the medium to acquire knowledge. To the best of my Knowledge, it is possible to break even in the first 5 years if appropriate approach is taken; so also it is possible to run at loss even beyond the 5 years if you fail to go through a profitable approach

THE TRUTH ABOUT COCOA FARMING IN NIGERIA

I have seen so many posts on the internet, specifically nairaland of how to make so so so profit or millions from cocoa cultivation after 18months. Thats on book! It's not realistic anywhere in Nigeria. There is a huge difference between fruiting of cocoa tree and harvesting of cocoa pods

Sometimes, I keep wondering why people think tree crops farming such as cocoa farming is as easy as buying and selling pure water on the street....Many of the new cocoa farmers keep coming to our office explaining how they have lost millions of naira based on the statistics and information given by theoretical farmers on the internet, most especially on nairaland and you can easily spot this in their write ups.

The truth is that, the real cocoa farmers don't even have time to come online not to talk of having time to be typing lengthening words about how you can make millions from cocoa farming because most of them are illiterates and those that are literate are busy looking for how to increase their yield and also expand their cocoa farm.

From my experience in cocoa farming coupled with my background in Agricultural Economics. No one can break-even with pure cocoa farming even in 5 years considering both the operating and capital costs depending on the hectarage of land.

Presently, i work with the department of Tree crops in Ogun State Ministry of Agriculture and have consulted for so many cocoa farms but I'm yet to see any one break-even in 5 years not to talk of 18 months or 3 years that most of our "book farmers" and also cocoa seedlings seller will told you.[b]

Have come to realised that some don't even know how to determine if cultivating a tree crops such as cocoa is profitable not to talk of preparing the cash flow analysis. The bitter truth is if you use only book or information on internet to start your cocoa farm you will also harvest your cocoa inside the book and on internet.

There are so many economic analytic tools you can used to actually determine if investing in cocoa farming warrant a monetary investment and part of it is the break-even analysis, benefit cost ratio, internal rate of return, net present value and profitability index. Each economic tool served a unique purpose with interpretation.

For those interested in investing in cocoa farming, i will advice you carry out your feasibility studies within the geographical location you intend to set up your cocoa farm (on the field) not on the internet, then sit down and prepare a comprehensive business plan for your cocoa farm before you venture into it.

However, you must note the following:

- Don't ever plan to cultivate cocoa farm on a family land or rent land.......You will regret that decision later.

- If you are looking for a quick money return business...dont go in to cocoa farming.

- Don't borrow money from bank to start a cocoa farm. You will regret it.

- If you don't have at least little passion for farming don't go into cocoa farming at all.

You must however note that planting cocoa tree is like planting money because Its not just a farm but an asset that will outlast someone's life time.

You can contact me on 08123916545 for any advice on Tree crops such as cocoa, cashew, citrus, oil palm etc.

Thanks

Is it disputable that the supplied hybrid from bethel seedlings are not fruiting within the first 24 months of established? The major fact is that they are not expected to be fruiting at optimum yield. The yield will increase as the seedling is growing through shrub to big tree. However the most interesting thing is that if the hybrid are genuinely F1 from the TC series, they will fruit throughout the year if planted at a particular design. Bethel seedlings will be at your service for consultation on 08139303199

In as much I agreed with the information provided here, I still want to butrress the fact that that there is a need to have an estimated figure to work on. Estimated data can never be realistic but will definitely guide us in taking the right decision to explore all the available opportunity in the proposed business plan. Truly, going into tree crop farming is a long term investment which require a lot of perseverance and respect; there are numerous farming system that can be explore to maximize profit from the area under cultivation.A good hybrid of plantain could be use as a shaded material for the cocoa with the overall objective of providing alternative means of income. Truly, the newly hybrid cocoa come to flowering within 20 to 24 months after planting, but the production can never be at optimum production. The production is directly proportional to the height of the cocoa tree! Contact us at bethel seedlings for professional advice at bethelseedlings@gmail.com or 08139303199.

Pls do l need to have plantain to cultivate cocoa.Can l use a plant like cassava to provide the shade needed?

You really need plantain for shading. Casava is just to add value to the income generated on the acquired land. The advantage of plantain is not negotiable considering the imminent climatic changes. It will definitely assist in drought tolerance of the cocloa variety and at the same time act as an added source of income to the farmers
