I would suggest agric as the surest way and u cannot get it wrong with plantain farming. it gives you safe roi or you can invest in a mini built greenhouse with bamboo and teak woods and grow high valued veggies like lettuce and even tomatoes (target the season and make a kill). my 2 cent

How can Nigerians invest in such clueless project? How on earth do you think this can be achieved?

Please brothers and sisters, any project you wish to venture into, please locate a practicing person that has succeeded in that field before venturing into that business or project.

My 2 cent

Jethro, please, are their lands in ago amodu, at the farm settlement closer to you that one can lease before being able to buy land somewhere else? Even if it's for one or two years? The person is going to clear it himself if possible so that the person can stay close and practice after practical 3 months training and cost of set up would be a bit minimal please ma. Thanks as you respond

Also, can a greenhouse be constructed in between the spaces in a palm plantation farms? I also have a man that has palm plantation on about 80 plots of land and he is about to plant palm trees. He also wants to use all the spaces for greenhouses for growing vegetables. Can be go go ahead madam?

Jethro, can a land that the owner wants to plant Palm plantation be intercropped with tomatoes in the open for the first five years of cultivation? Can tomatoes be grown in a land that palm trees are planted?

Noted. That won't be an issue. I believe someone with the 3 months practical training coupled with a nice constructed greenhouse can have a decent start in the tomato industry cos he or she already has the good agronomy practices after the training. Hope am right ma?

karlxavier:
But @ Jethro, can your team help in constructing greenhouse for people in oyo state at a fee?? I read somewhere on this thread about greenhouse construction by your team using local materials.

How about this..

Please do justice to the above questions madam. Thanks and God bless

But @ Jethro, can your team help in constructing greenhouse for people in oyo state at a fee?? I read somewhere on this thread about greenhouse construction by your team using local materials.

Another is, am grateful for the question you answered. In the open field, is tuta absoluta known as tomato ebola curbed with frequent spraying and management when one attends the 3months training?

I was thinking that it would be a good idea if one goes for the three months training, get practical knowledge and still have your greenhouse built.

Is their anyway to have an excellent crop yield in the open field just like in the greenhouse?

Goodday Jethro, in your next training, I guess it has the course outline of how participants would construct greenhouse with local materials? I have someone that would want to attend for this training and he also wants to learn that aspect of building the local greenhouse/screen house/Newhouse for the growing of tomatoes successfully under your tutelage. Please reply

Goodday Jethro,

Please I have some further questions to ask.

What is the sole advantage a greenhouse has over open field cultivation?

Can all the factors be controlled in an open field cultivation just like greenhouse?

I believe open field farm set up would be cheaper than setting up a greenhouse, what does greenhouse have to offer a farmer and his investor? Please reply

Thanks madam. You are a rare gem. One more question, after one comes for the three months training and gets trained on the agricultural practices in growing tomato, can one be selling only to the standard market if his farm is in the western eg, oyo and Ogun?

Assuming one decides to do one acre with good practices, can he be assured of linkage to the standard market? Thanks as you reply madam

Jethro, please I have some questions to ask.

When producing for standard market, must one use solely greenhouse to produce for the standard market alone?

Secondly, when doing an open field cultivation, can one grow through out the year with irrigation or are their months where u would stop growing?

Thirdly, can open field be used to achieve desired results for the standard market?

Thanks as u answer the questions.

...

Thanks for the advise. I still need more advise as regards this. Thanks. The land can be extended for up to 4-5 years though.

So, what are you advising I plant on it judging from the spacing you recommended? I also need more advises pls. Thanks
