The lockdown will be lifted tomorrow so I am hoping the manager(close relative) that is overseeing the plantain will be able to go onsite to check progress and hire a new temporary staff to help. I will keep everyone posted soon.

Thanks for letting me know. Do you have any standard price quote?

This is interesting! Congratulations on getting your farming underway in Ogun although you are overseas. Where are you farming in Ogun? I have considered the River Basin area and Odeda as well, but have not made the leap. I need genuine land with good title at an affordable price. Please advise. Thank you.

I am located in Ijebu. We have other people on this forum that can get you genuine land at affordable price like lesgupnigeria etc. Please do your own background work on that end too.

At this point, it is quite clear that Agriculture is the future of Nigeria and Africa as whole with the dwindling oil revenue. Making good business in Agriculture will present its own set of challenges even more for those of us in diaspora with the issue of who to trust and knowledge acquisition.

To introduce myself, I am currently into Plantain and Pig farming. I also currently reside outside Nigeria but have farm in Ogun state. Please introduce yourself in the thread.

We have a WhatsApp group for current and intending farmers in diaspora to discuss, share ideas, ask questions and exchange knowledge. You can join our group by sending an email about yourself with phone number to diasporafarmers@gmail.com. I will add you to the group.

We discussed with TOG and they told us that unfortunately, they wont be able to get us the needed bulldozer due to the Covid-19 virus lockdown. For the moment, we will complete the currently cleared acre and hopefully resume planting May/June.

Hello everyone,
I have been one of those people that lurk around Nairaland Agric section enjoying wealth of information from other farmers and hoping to start mine one day. I have taken a plunge and I will be discussing my journey on this thread as much as I can. To start with, the cost of acquiring land, we were able to acquire about 40 acres in Ogun and have since began operation. We started with clearing which was surprisingly very expensive and came with its own challenges. Out of the 40 acres, we have only been able to clear 20 acres and we have planted the 8 acres before the whole coronavirus lockdown began. We are having issue getting workers now because many of them have gone back to their hometown and wont return anytime soon. We are now pivoting to tractor and we are in talk with https://tog.ng/ to see how we can work with them to get things now. I will follow up with some of the cost some of things.
