Please I also need one to rent... or buy if possible.

Searched on Alibaba. Connected with the company on Whatsapp. They sent me pics and videos demonstrating the product as well as product catalogues, all within 2 hours. Cost of shipping was prohibitive, so I liaised with a company that ships goods from China to Nigeria (internet search revealed several and I picked one). Paid the supplier and the shipper the agreed prices, and within a week, my product was in my hands.

I have bought cars from the US, so this one was not a problem for me at all.

Thanks a bunch. I might contact you later for more info.

Truth be told for anyone to be successful in maize farming you need the following.
1.high yield seeds. Preferablely one that gives yields above 3tonnes per hectare.
2. Know the appropriate seed quantity per space. I, e for open pollinated seeds 20kg per hectare and for hybrids 15kg per hectare.
3.spacing. your loss will be compounded if you dont space properly. I. e 25 cm in between stands and 75 cm between rows. For efficiency avoid manual planting. Hire a planter.
4. Fertilizer. Fertilizer can be applied in 3 split applications as follows at planting, four weeks after planting and a third at six weeks to eight weeks. Use Npk and and urea. For efficiency budget a minimum of 4 bags per hectare. 3npk 1 urea.
5.ensure your farm is free of weeds from the 3-10 leaves stage. Generally make sure ur farm is free of weeds.
6 avoid land prep manually. Use a tractor as follows. Ploughing and harrowing if youre using a planter.
7. Use a powerful pre and post emergence herbicide two days after planting then follow up with weeding as necessary.
8. Harvest only when maize has dried fully, for better accuracy shell at 150days. This is to avoid losses due to Mycotoxin growth during storage.
9. Selling dried shelled maize is by far more profitable than selling fresh. In Niger state where I farm by November a bag was sold for 11,000. I will be happy to entertain more questions and look forward to your success this farming season.

please how much does it cost per hectare to grow maize (from planting to harvesting)?

...and how much does a ton of dry, shelled maize cost at the moment?

PS, can u PM me your whatsapp number?

Thanks.
