The charcoal season is here. Make your call and pick yours

Silvereze:
agric. seems to offer a lot but my parents dont like it

Agric offers a lot.
Other African countries such as Kenya, South Africa and nearby Ghana are reaping trillions from the agric sector. Some of us are bent on drilling the goldmine called agriculture.
Your parents don't like it because our forefathers are did not make anything out of it.
Technology is here to make a big difference

Silvereze:
Agric in nigeria has been neglected or abandoned for oil exploitation.since then agric is seen as second class profession.i am an agric. student of uniben.Actually i applied for medicine and was given Agric. as a consolation.As an agric student there are a lot of challenges facing us.firstly,only telling people u are studying agric. comes with them laughing at u and telling u career opportunitie u can embark into.Agric is capital intensive and if i graduate how will i even get money to start up a farming business.We are hardly shortlisted for scholarships and when schortlisted few are opportuned to get.agric is hard with a lot of farm work attached to it for which the lecturers share the produce.Government is not concerned about the welfare of agric students.I am fed up with studying Agric.in this country.I need advice pls..................

Interesting.
Life is about having passion for what we do.
I study Geology for my 1st degree and Geophysics in 2nd degree.
But as God would have it, I am proud to be a farmer.
I trained farmers, agriculturist and agribusiness people.
I keep wondering why I never study Agriculture in school.
Why am I saying this?
. Its either you develop interest for what you are doing or you seek for what you have interest for.
Search yourself. What exactly do I enjoy doing even when there is no financial benefit.
You can also look inward. Agriculture is a large value chain. Its full of opportunities.
Wish you well

agricentral:
The least I sold is 2k.
The present Lagos price is 3k.
Hope this helps.

The price is not constant. It varies from market to market. Mile 12 is different from Ilepo which is also different from Iyana Ipaja.

securi:
Thanks a lot Sis.I eventually settled for 1,800 last week hope it will be higher this week

we are hopeful since rain is going. less people will plant. I know the price is usually high towards November, December

securi:
Well done for the wonderful contributions. Pls can someone help with the price of a bag of cucumber in Lagos, Benin, Warri and Port Harcourt if possible

Price of cucumber is not stable. it fluctuates so much. You can bank on any figure

MayorSchwags:
15days. Cocopeat tomato nursery. They av refused to grow more than the first two leaves

Do you process/treat the cocopeat before using it.
Please don't ask me because I don't really know much about cocopeat. though I have a colleagues that use it on his farm.
I make use of normal soil + poultry waste + sawdust.
15 days is quite premature. some nursery transplanting starts by two weeks.
Something must have affected the seedlings either from your cocopeat or the method by which you handle them.
Your seed source too also need to be considered.
I was at a shop some other time and they select kept some seeds separate because the germination rate is low.
Not all seed sellers are that sincere.
