Pavore9: @kart042000, true Nigerians get only to see imported packaged strawberries in supermarkets at a very expensive price. Growing of strawberry is very achievable in Nigeria going by strawberry farms l have visited here in Kenya and is a 3 month crop.

Is it possible to get the sample seeds of strawberry. Would love to test run. Can one get in Nigeria? Thank you

I don't know the actual price. But I know its sold in transparent nylon of N50. Except I buy and weigh before I can say this is the price per kg. Ipapo is after Iseyin, some few distance to my place No is 08064688501

Ipapo village in Atisbo/Iseyin LGA in Saki area. That's their major work. How do you want it package and deliver? Where is your location?.

TME 419 is 12 months.

4. Maintain 100% planting rate by replacing dead or nonviable stems.

The first Application recommended is 2 weeks after planting.

for an Hectare, 200kg bags is recommended. That is 4 bags of 50kg
It should be applied using a match box as measurement per plant.

Sorry I can't post his number on line

Please to get maximum yield from TME, there are rules and regulations to follow. Like the use of fertilizer, the right amount, the right time of application and the right quantity. I will write more on this topic as soon as I am chanced. Its called the 4Rs of Fertilizer by IFDC 2scale. Please lets follow the rules

jethro2: So sorry I couldn't get back on time. My contact is working on getting you a link person of IITA in Umudike. I believe that will be near to you. He said he want to get the contact no so as to forward to you. I will call him again on Monday to confirm.

Nice work with your farm. Its just a matter of time. I will not also advice you get get rid of the present one. I will suggest use alternative land since you have. This will help you to compare the yield of the two varieties at harvest.

aguiyi: Any update on mine yet.
See my farm, I already made ridges, planted plantain and cassava but don't trust the species of cassava, I don't mind replacing them if I can get the TME419,am clearing the other 10plots already for cassava also

samuel25: Good day sir, I base in Oyo state too, Oke ogun, Igboho specifically but the TME 419 is not available in OYSADEP in my LGA. Any assistance please?

My farms are in Ago Amodu and Sepeteri. We just planted some not up to 2 months. Bit I can lead you to our contact in our area if you will not mind the distance. When exactly will you be in need of it?. I will call the man tomorrow or by Monday to discuss and possibly link you up with him on phone. He comes from Ibadan but its possible they have some farmers in your area that might have used the TME 419. Please lets see what comes up by Monday. Please you could also send a reminder if I don't get back on time.

kart042000: While in the UK, most oranges I took where mostly not as juicy as the ones gotten from Nigeria. The pineapples where mostly sour unlike what is obtained from Nigeria/Cotonou.
I would love to hear from you guys based on the above points stated.

Fruits are available almost everywhere in Nigeria. Getting the right and continuous source of supply, quality and good one are the issue you will have to work on.
Each locality have specific fruits that are common to their environment
I will advice you get the neccesary requirement for imports from the intended country.
Get their quality standard requirement for the specific fruits you want.
Make arrangement for all the necessary papers in Nigeria. Quarantine, Nigerian Exporting Promotion Council, Nigerian Exporters Group and what ever its deem necessary.
Fruits and Vegetables conditions are very stringent because of their high susceptibility to disease

kart042000: It takes about four days to travel from Nigeria to Namibia. Therefore transporting the fruits and vegetables with a fridge truck makes it doable.

Will it be possible for you exporting the fruits by using cargo planes? These will saves you a lot of stress and the time spent on the road.
Nigeria is richly blessed with assorted fruits and exporting of fresh product would be a very good source of income for its citizens.

aguiyi: Enugu state

Please let me make some calls and see if we can get someone around there or locate the ADPs. I will get back to you by tomorrow by Gods grace

aguiyi: 1acres sir

Please visit the Agricultural Development Project in your area. They have the list of the farmers that are using or have used TME 419. My contact is in Ibadan and believe its cost effective for we smallholders to source for in the ADP office near to us. Which state are you so we can locate the ADPs in that area.
Their service is free. They sell TME for N300 -N400 per bundle

FarmTech: .
I intend to go into crop farming, cassava and/or maize. I'll nt live very far from the place and may even combine it with rabbits, goats and grasscutters.

That will be nice. Lands are very cheap in the villages/rural areas. It might be a few distance to the city.
One needs to know the chiefs and the bales.
In the South West, you can find cheap lands in the villages. I want to believe same thing happens all over the country.
Its getting across to the right people
Relocation to a new area may be quite expensive. I would advise sourcing for cheap one in the environment that you are used to. It will be cheaper and cost effective no matter how

aguiyi: please can you link me to your source for the TME 419 also ,can you share pix of what it looks like.
the cassava that is planted on my plantain plantation does not look good in my eyes

What's the size of the farm land that you need the TME 419 cuttings for?
