APC and complaincomplain

she didnt blame anyone infact she indirectly praised the prev administration for stopping it to cut its abuse and dis present admin was upholding it stoppage

So nigerian please #buy nigerian to grow nigeria#

I woke up dis morning to the news dat bag of rice is now 20k. I was shocked but den again we had dis long coming.

Our over dependence on imported rice had kill the market for our own locally produced rice.

I rememba back then in school, i couldnt afford to buy foriegn rice and opted to buy the local one. Trust me i wasnt happy but i had no chioce. D day i finally decided to cook d rice, there was no diff. in taste btw the socalled foriegn rice n the local rice. Till i finished school dat was d rice i bought n ate.

Now fastforward to present day, we were thinking of organising a seminar on our local rice production with our rice specially Mr. Segbenu David eariler dis year but the response we got was not impressive due to the mentality that our rice not good,it has sand,it has stone, sum even went aheard and at us, so we boutched the project.

Now as at today that same 'local diff. bad name rice" is now earning millions to farmers,feeding their families while smiling to the bank, while some name callers( please disrespect meant but just the hard truth) are shouting rice is 20k

Guy its nt free i spent thousands on thousands to get that knowlegde

sseunth:
i was thinking that they buy the cassava in raw. so the cassava mst be processed into flour first?

not flour but paste. Processing into ethanol is done wen the cassava is still in its fresh form

sseunth:
spend more than 20million on top the farm or tge industries?

pls explain more

for brands like heineken to even consider u, ur factory must b 70% automated which inculdes motor driven peeler,washer,grinder,destarcher,starch collector all powered by a 30 to 50kva gen.

Only d gen don carry 50percent of the money

sseunth:
i want to add to this.

i heard that cassava is being used in the brewery for making of beers.

e.g heinkeins

yes ooo. but for u to even supply them, u must have spent morethan 20million to upgrade to standard starch processing factory before they even luk ur end

Along idiroko/seme border road okeodan busstop ogun state

Sorry for not bin able to post anything abt our day 2 in THE BIRTH OF A LOCAL GARRI FACTORY. It was due to ill health hence my absence but was told it went smoothly so hopefully tomorrow we will b getting updates

Thanks for the prompt reply. My cassava question is that i ave a casrava farm @ ibadan that am yet to harvert, i just need advice on how and where to locate buyer that will increase my gain mergin. thanks

find a local fufu or garri factory were u can b delivering ur tubers to. Avoid middle me at all cost. Meet those women who produce the fufu, they often buy well

Molayan:
Do U've cassava tubers d for sale

no! As it is,even our co-op 30hectares tuber is insufficent

Ugwu is ready for sales at 2 to 3 months, harvesting is done weekly to 2 weeks interval by selecting and cutting neareast to the main root,any weak,male or terminated shoots

Fertilizer application is only once tru out the plant life cycle.
Ugwu doesnt have a particular spacing dat i knw of but its best u space dem well

Uguws problem with weeds is usualy b4 its tendrils start moving far and leaves broaden. So at dis period manual weeding is carried out as maintaineance for the crop

adescopy:
Hi, pls am into cassava farming actualy i started with 1 acrea last year but am yet to harvest. i need info abt selling my produce and to more info about tomato farming as i plan going into it.

for tomatoes start ur nusery now and transfer to the field 3 - 4 wks after planting for cassava i dont understand ur questiom

NURIENT REQUIREMENT

As with all lefy veggies, ugwu consumes alot of nutrient and telling u the truth only manure couldnt meet up to its demands hence u nid to suppliment with NPK 15:15:15

If u are planting ugwu for seeds then u must stake in order to get larger seed pods but if solely for the leaves then staking no needed

Ugwu prefers ridges to flats and i recommend ridges because of the following
1. Easy access to ur plant
2. Easy maintaineace
3. Easy drainage as ugwu hates excess water

Now after u might have dried ur seeds and ur ridge prepared, it is time for planting

After u purchasing ur ugwu seeds dont plant them immediately and pls dont leave it inside d nylon else all ur seeds will b useless

spread d seeds under the sun to dry for aleast 3 days as dis aids quick germination in 5 to 6 days
Do not follow dis instruction and u will not have any sprout until about 14 - 18 days

Now back to the topic of the evening UGWU CULTIVATION AND MARKETING

But we are progressing slow but steady

We couldnt achieve much becos of logistics but were able to get the frame work down

Day 1
MEN AT WORK

Watch out for tomorrows topic and one of my favorite crops UGWU cultivation but please note dis
1. D land must b urs
2. U must make provision for water
3. U must make provision for irrigation
4. U must have sum1 on ground to monitor and take care of the plant
5. U must not b an absentee farmer wen dealing with ugwu

Hopefully tomorrow i ll b posting pics d birth of a local garri processing factory

The last lap of the rainy season began today so its time to go farming
