Good day to all followers of this thread and esteemed customers. One of the main reasons this thread was created 3 years ago was to provide affordable and high quality irrigation and other farm technologies for farmers in Nigeria. We have so far assisted close to 100 farmers with irrigation and other farm technologies, most especially to those who are doing irrigation for the first time!

It is a thing of joy for me to read of the success stories of farmers who use the irrigation we procured for them. To this end, we are launching season 3 of our yearly consolidated irrigation, tagged 2018/2019 Dry Season Irrigation Preorder, it is our believe that this will assist many farmers to really make good money from dry season farming of the various horticultural crops they choose to do!

For the first time, we have are solely doing preorder of drip irrigation kits(though we may extend to other irrigation types if we see much interest) via Ocean freight(this will drastically reduce the cost of these items). One of the reasons many people give for not using effective irrigation in the dry season is the cost, many farmers still see irrigation as expensive not effective! The truth is these irrigation kits are not expensive it is the costs associated in bringing them in that makes them expensive.

We have partnered with a manufacturer that is willing to give us good quality drip irrigation for a great price. Why drip irrigation? Well drip irrigation is the most effective and water saving irrigation system ever, take it or leave it! I am writing both as a farmer(who uses this irrigation method) and as an irrigation expert. Water is the most critical resource in dry season, even industrial borehole and streams may dry up in the heat of the dry season when you need water most, especially when you use irrigation methods that drains water easily from your water source!

What is more? These drip irrigation systems are complete, they come with the 16mm diameter drip tapes (0.3mm or 0.4mm thickness, 3l/h flow rate), 2 inch diameter PE Lay flat(1mm thickness), off take connectors for lay flat, end plug, joiners(to link two emitting pipes together), 2 inch venturi injectors (for fertigation), Puncher(for installation), Filter (disc type) - everything you need to install a drip system, the only thing you will need is to buy a tank. We will provide you free irrigation assessment, and design tailored to your farm area but you pay us for installation.

Kalusam:
Lucrativeness of farming has been promoted by several bloggers, newspapers and "Agribusiness Consultants", so much that everyone, young and old, rich and poor, men and women are trooping towards it, in many cases blindly. This interest in farming is a good sign, but the concerns of what really drives young people towards farming remain. Below are 5 things to posses before going all out on agriculture in order to reap the much mentioned success in the sector.

1. Information/knowledge. How much knowledge about farming do you possess. Like any other profession, farming requires expertise, in fact it requires a great deal of expertise because of the dynamic aspects of agriculture. Information such as weather patterns, what crop to farm on what soil and when and how do one get the best market, are very important. If you are truly keen on going into farming, roll up your sleeves and learn first.

2. Passion. How much do you want to farm? What motivates you to become a farmer. Many young people are lured into the trade with the glossy stories of success in the media without acknowledging the potentially disastrous risks involved. If you are not so much into it, the returns wont be too much into you either. Without passion, you may totally lose interest and miss out of the opportunities in the Agribusiness sector after a first failed attempt.

3. Capital. Young people interested in farming encounter their first hurdle in terms of capital. This is normal. Remedy for this can be found in the many agricultural support loans being given out by organizations, banks and even the government. The most important thing is the information on how to access these financial services. However, I personally advise you make some money first from other sectors before venturing into farming, or if you have friends and family who will be ready to invest in you and your dreams then you are good to go!

4. Total Commitment. There is a new crop of young farmers who engage in farming “via proxy”, mobile phone farming or absentee farming. From my personal experience, this does not work at all. Even if you have a good farm manager, there a number of things that will go wrong without your actual presence. For greater rewards in farming, you need to be on site. If you are very busy, I advise you start out a small farm near your house, even on concrete floors you can grow in bags or plastic containers.

5. Persistence. You are more likely to be disappointed by your farm in the beginning. This is called the learning period and giving up should not be an option. Wrap the failures under the folder of experience and use it to become better. It is important to expect misfortunes and be ready for them. Just remember NEVER give up, even if you fail several times in your farming attempt despite receiving previous training know one thing...you are building yourself up for greater things, when other farmers see dangers you will see opportunities, those periods you will be the only one taking to the market and make good profit.
