Chidimercy:I will recommend Punta Cana in the Caribbean (Dominican Republic). I was there few months ago and it turned out to be one of my best tourist destinations. I think I will have to make a separate post about my DR trip |
A client called, and Iykbethany Farms answered. On Saturday last week we delivered a full pepper farm setup in Obinze, Imo State. The farm comprises of 3 greenhouses with bell & habanero peppers. We also recruited an agronomist to manage the farm. So friends, please refer us to your friends or family members who are interested in pepper or greenhouse farming. We are your surest plug in PH, and we deliver nationwide. #IykbethanyFarms #Greenhousesetup https://youtube.com/shorts/2NJA5yPdvIg?si=PkOprq9J34xKC64e |
RabbitGuy:That would be nice. Where in PH are you and where / when do we connect? |
We transplanted the open field habaneros yesterday
|
Our Bell peppers are 3 weeks today
|
Mranonymous50:Those were bell peppers and unfortunately, we couldn't rescue all of them. That's one of the reasons we are planting in bags this year |
We're getting ready for season 2.

MostIncredibleDFirst:Thanks and God bless you |

I'm reaching out for advice from fellow farmers and agric experts. My healthy bell pepper plants have started to change color, shrink, and even die off. I'm not sure what's causing the problem. Could it be due to heat, disease, pests, or something else? I'd greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to solve this problem. I'm not a happy man right now coz i was hoping to cash out this Christmas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbj0SRaAGw4?si=K9HAtWd7ZFMiQx9c |

logadims:Thank you for considering me for your series! I'd be delighted to share my story, experiences and challenges as an agricultural entrepreneur in Nigeria. Please let me know the details |
For those who are looking for Malaysian Supergene nurseries, this is just 1 months old. It will be ready in March. The company i bought from in Enugu sent me this picture. If anyone's interested, they will help prepare the land for early planting. I will release their number to interested persons but please do your own home work well before sending money to anyone you met online.

Harvest Day. We harvested our Bell peppers and habanero peppers on Friday last week. We will be harvesting again this Friday. Harvest Day is truly a farmer's happiest day. Nurturing crops from seed to maturity is not an easy task. With the success of this pilot project I'm now converting every empty land to a pepper farm. For example, there's this empty space in my sister's restaurant that I started clearing since Monday. It's just one plot of land but going forward, we will get all our peppers, ugu, vegetables, water leaf, ukazi, uziza, bitter leaf and even tomatoes from that small parcel of land.

HMarshal:I thought the admins don't like this. I once shared my email on a Vietnam importation guide and they kept deleting it. My handle here (iykbethany) is my username on all social networks |
Here is a video of both bell pepper and habanero peppers on the open field. With this heavy rain, you can judge by yourself if it's doing well or not. https://youtube.com/shorts/ZzqxOtm7A6o?si=0qWN4pFuSpFuBhUC |
Here are todays pictures. We will most likely harvest this weekend. I did experiment with planting both habanero and Bell Peppers on the open field and surprisingly, they all survived. So in my opinion there's no need wasting millions on a greenhouse if they can survive in an open field. I will like the experts to share their opinions on this

okoroemeka:Thank you very much for providing this solution. I'm going to work on this immediately. God bless you |

Yesterday, I mentioned that our pepper plants are experiencing abortions. For those who don't know, in horticulture, 'abortion' refers to premature flower or fruit drop, which hinders plant development. These are the common causes: 1. Insufficient pollination 2. Water stress 3. Nutrient deficiencies 4. Pests or diseases 5. Poor spacing In our case, poor spacing is the cause, and the farm manager is to be blamed.

This is today's photos and videos of our Bell Pepper and Habanero Pepper project. The plants are doing alright. But we're facing a challenge with flower/fruit abortion, just like someone pointed out in the comments section. Despite this setback, the plants' overall health looks good. We'll continue monitoring and adjusting our care strategies. Any advice or insights from fellow gardeners / farmers are welcome. #iykbethanyFarms #iykbethanyGroup #HabaneroPepper #BellPepper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wcLU82tU10?si=YUae4kckbD05uETr |
ikuku:I mentioned all of this in the post. I bought from a company in Enugu @2,200 Naira. The moderators will not like the idea of mentioning the company name and I also don't like to connect people to people to protect my name. If something goes wrong I will be blamed. You can search online there are hundreds of people selling Malaysian Supergene oil palm seedling in Nigeria. |
I got these chemicals today, (STRONG FORCE and HALAKAT) for TRIPS treatment.

solacong:Open-field farming is a more cost-effective in my opinion because greenhouse farming comes with a hefty price tag. Also, greenhouses are typically used for cultivating exotic crops like habanero peppers and bell peppers. However, if we're talking about the common red pepper used in everyday cooking, then open-field farming is the more suitable and preferred method, and that's the approach the man in question is taking. you can contact me anytime you want to learn anything about this greenhouse project. I'm more active on FB with the same username. |
okoroemeka:That's why we are all here brother man, to learn. This is a pilot project so mistake is inevitable but they will be corrected when we go into mass production. I recently met someone who relocated from Europe a few years ago to start farming. He said he has made over 80million Naira from pepper and tomatoes this year. The normal pepper, so he used open fields. Its more economical instead of spending millions on greenhouses. He sees greenhouse and exotic pepper farming as waste of time and money. His pepper farm in river state has generators and 7 boreholes. Massive farm. I'm currently studying his template. |
okoroemeka:My manager used the same spacing. He said we can expect the same yield gotten from 10x50 to be the same with 10x30. The guy is a uniport student who has managed some other farms before we recruited him, so I believe him. Since you are an expert I also believe you but even if the spacing is wrong I don't want to stress myself thinking about it, I'm already going through alot. I nor wan get High blood pressure bro. This is a pilot project bros, and I expect some mistakes here and there, and that's why I'm documenting everything. This aluu project is not that big, our main farm is in imo state where we have over 100 farmland dedicated to different cashcrops Oil palm, banana, plantain, cassava, yam, maize, cucumbers, pineapples, etc. We are experimenting with pepper and tomatoes this year, and by next year, we hope to go into large-scale farming of these two if we have the funds. This is what they looked like as at 2 days ago.

IGBOPROMISE1:But why can't we kick corrupt politicians out of office even if they were installed by satan 🤔 |
A local government chairman in Lagos state built and commissioned these beautiful 170 units of 3 bedroom apartments last week. This follows his achievement from last year, when he built and launched 101 two-bedroom flats in this same LGA. But in my dear Imo state, one man is pocketing our LG allocations and no one is talking. For example, my local government receives over 140 Million Naira every month from the Federal government but go round the state there's no school, road or health centre constructed in any local government in imo state within the last 5 years. Not even a pit toilet. Over the past two years, I've traveled across nearly all the senatorial zones in Imo State, from Mbano to Mbaise, Orlu, Ikeduru, Mbaitolu, Ohaji, Okigwe, and beyond. Unfortunately, I haven't come across a single project completed in any of the LGAs. Most of the roads in the LGA's are in terrible condition, practically impassable. Apart from the three federal roads currently being reconstructed—Okigwe, Orlu, and Mbaise Road, I haven't seen any other road projects in any LGA across Imo State. Imo state allocations has increased more than 40% under Tinubu, yet there's nothing to show for it. Owerri used to be a top tourist destination but currently most people are scared of visiting Owerri and many businesses have relocated. I relocated some of my businesses from Owerri to other states because of insecurity. It's disheartening to see the stark contrast in local governance between Lagos and Imo states. In Lagos state, local government chairmen are in serious competition. Over there LGA chairmen build schools, health centres, roads bridges, etc, but in the East, the state governors pocket LGA allocations and the citizens are not talking. Dear Igbo youths, the root cause of our problem lies with our Igbo representatives - from house assembly members to senators and governors. After looting our commonwealth, they tell their followers that our problem is Hausa, Fulani or Yoruba which is absolute rubbishh. I don't have any issues with any tribe, Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, or anyone else. My problem is with bad politicians because if our senators and governors are doing their jobs nobody will even remember FG or Abuja. I urge Igbo citizens to demand accountability and transparency from our leaders. Let's all shun tribalism and demand for transparency and accountability. Ndewonu

This was long time ago at the pineapple farm that failed due to lack of supervision. https://iykbethanygistville.com/2020/09/10/farming-agriculture-in-nigeria-my-journey-so-far/

someone should advice a sister. Agriculture is big, which sector would you like to invest in? Do you like poultry, fish farming
If you're in Port Harcourt I will walk you through the process but please know that farming is hard work and you must be ready. It's not for slay queens mbok
