Convert the selling price to Naira and see how plantain farmers are suppose to be cashing out�....kenfarm bunch produce 30fingers...divide 30 fingers by 3 = 10 X $2.53 = $25.3 per bunch.....it translates that in naira....a bunch cost #350 X $25.3 = #8,850....so a dozen sold to USA will amount to #106,260......and they (Retailers in 9ja) will come your farm dey price a dozen for #5,000.... Make I see una leg for my farm again

I wish I also apprehended the idiot that stole 100bunches from my farm. Would have cut out one of his scrotum

The time to invest in cassava Biz is now. We are going to experience cassava boom in the coming season ....invest wisely....copies of our TME 419 production book still available

Steps to kick start an Agric Biz

1. Before you venture into any Agric Biz, the first thing to do is seek for info on the do & don't of the Agric Biz to cut down on risk factor. Like every other Biz, Agric Biz has it numerous risk factors which can either be Biological or environmental. Which ever may be the source of the risk factor, you need to first identify it and figure out if it can be eliminated or managed. If it going to be managed, then at what cost? If it is going to be eliminated, then at what cost? Trying to reduce risk also involves getting informed quality information like purchasing our TME419 production Book which has over the years become potential cassava farmers friend.

2. The second step will be......coming up with a crop budget. When you establish your crop budget which is what you plan to invest....the next decision you need to take is studying the market of what you are producing. When you study the market and you are able to establish your expected profit, then deduct your investment from your expected profit.....if you have real profit then it a worthwhile Biz
More steps from our URL, NL page, Instagram page and you tube….just search for kenfarm
As for cassava value chain, it a 1yr cycle of crop, so if you follow kenfarm direction above, you be able to figure out how profitable cassava Biz is.

MERITS OF SOIL FERTILITY TESTING

1. It enable farmer identify the level of nutrient in the soil. The soil test will also indicate if the nutrient available can be taken up by the plant or it available and yet can not be taken up by plant for use

2. It indicates the soil PH. Every crop has a soil pH in which it can strive. If a crop that strive in alkaline soil is planted on acidic soil, then mortality rate will increase

3. It indicates the soil macro nutrient and micro nutrient. Tree crops need lot of macro nutrient. Palm tree for example needs Mg in abundance. Mg is responsible for the red colour of the fruit. How reddish your palm fruit is determine largely the market value it will command because Mg determines the quality of your oil

4. It indicates the physical chrematistics of the farm soil. Physical characteristics of the farm soil has effect on the farm management style, fruit yield and mortality rate.

5. It indicates the Quantity of fertilizer to apply to each palm tree, the type of fertilizer and the method of application to adopt. The level of the nutrient will indicate all these. Over application of fertilizer and under application of fertilizer has a negative effect on the crop.

6. It indicate your farm soil textural class. Planting crop on the wrong adapted textural class can lead to crop mortality.

Thus, if a soil test was not don on your farm soil before commencing planting operations, it not late to ascertain the farm soil fertility by conducting a soil test. Am suggesting this base on the mortality you said was experienced on the farm recently. Nevertheless, it is still left to farm owner to decide on doing a soil test or not

Cheers!!

Hi folks
How much of your suckers did the wind fell down??

It a natural disaster we do not have 100% control of. But the good news is that we can reduce the number of stand that will fall every beginning of the season

There sure practices that could reduce the number of Pseudostem (sucker) that will be fallen by wind......we keep our esteem followers posted

The primary purpose of ploughing is to turn over the upper layer of the soil, bringing fresh nutrients to the surface, while burying weeds and the remains of previous crops and allowing them to break down. The advantages of ploughing are: Loosening of soil can improve air circulation.

Farmers complain that their plantain plantation do not produce again after 3seasons

I have been in this Biz long enough to authoritatively tell you that your plantain plantation can keep producing fruits for as long as you want it to produce (Maybe 10-20yrs)

First you will agree with me that sucker never die but keep multiplying as long as enviromental conditions are favourable.

Now, if you want your plantain plantation to keep producing fruits for so many yrs , then you have to control for the following factors:

1. Plant a viable and desease free sucker like that which you will get from kenfarm

2. Always do what we call gapping every new season

3. Add compost manure like poultry waste to your farm soil every 2season

4. Seek expertise knowledge

5. Do a soil test to ascertain your farm soil fertility at the end of 3seasons

I can go on and on.......consult kenfarm for details




For all those who is been calling us to inform us of how educative our thread is, we say thank you. It for this reason kenfarm post information that are life experience on field and not google copy and paste kind of info

It's obvious that the key words to achieving your farm set goals are: Avaluation, Appraisal and followup.... Ensure you sort the advice if professional especially in the area of disease identifying and control.

Bookworm invaded our client farm and workers just busy burning down mature palm tree because they presumed they at dead.

But for Kenfarm intervention, I investigated on why a mature palm tree already fruiting will just die off.

Only to discover bollworm invades the palm center leaf to eat it uploading to complete death of the palm.

If Kenfarm did not identify the source of the mortality maybe the farm workers would have ended up burning the whole palm trees one after the other

Budget expended on consultant is wise budget

For the purpose of educating kenfarm potential followers and client….pls read the below info:

A client contacted kenfarm help desk and below is his Query

I have a cassava and plantain plantation
Weeds has been a major problem. Manual weeding has been too expensive.
What chemicals can be used without harming the crops sir?
And also what types of fertilizer can be used and at what stage.
Thanks



Below if kenfarm response:

Good day Madam
Controlling weed can be very challenging especially if you have elephant grass as the major weed in by your farm. However, you can apply either contact herbicide or systemic herbicide.
Contact herbicide are often applied during the rain period because it action start just 1hr after application. Rain is not expected to fall on the weed just after applying any herbicide.
Example of contact is paraeforce
Paraeforce act on the leaf

Systemic herbicide is the type of herbicide that start action 12- 24hrs after application. It simply means that after application of systemic herbicide, rain must not fall on the weed for 24hrs else the rain water will dilute the concentration of the herbicide rendering it inactive. The reason I said earlier that contact herbicide is preferred during rain season.
Unlike contact herbicide, systemic herbicide act on the leaf, stem and some time the root depending on the active ingredient.
Example if systemic herbicide is glyphosate.
So for your farm, if the dominant weed is elephant grass, I will recommend you use round-up herbicide or glyphosate herbicide
Follow the manufacturer direction on what Qty to apply
But if your farm weed is other weed and not elephant grass, I will recommend you apply paraeforce mix together with atrazin powder and spray. Atrazin is a herbicide that act on the weed seed and root. It action is even stronger as the rain fall on the weed

As for fertilizer, I may not be able to advice you well enough since I did not do a soil fertility test of your farm soil. I mean to say that the type of fertilizer, Qty of fertilizer and method of application is scientifically dependent on the test result of your soil fertility test. We do soil fertility test and we often put recommendations of how to improve our client soil fertility after retrieving the soil test result
However, if you supply kenfarm with a response to the below questions, then I may be of help in term of what type of fertilizer to apply
1. How old are the crops you intend to apply fertilizer?
2. Have you applied any fertilizer at all since after planting?
3. Did you do a soil test of the soil before cultivation ?
4. What type of crop did you plant


Below is my client follow-up response to my above Questions 1 - 4

Thank you so much for this invaluable information.
In response to your questions:
1. Plantain stems was planted May last year but not producing fruit yet. Only applied fertilizer once at planting stage
2. Cassava planted too last on a plot, growing well but fertilizer applied once too
3. Now finished planting cassava this Monday on an acre- fertilizer applied before planting
4. No soil test was done before planting. Is it too late to do one?



Below is kenfarm response to the above response from our client
In response to your questions:


Client ANS 1. Plantain stems was planted May last year but not producing fruit yet. Only applied fertilizer once at planting stage

Kenfarm Remarks: OK if the plantain was planted in May last year, it is expected to have attain puberty now and must have gotten to the flowering stage. Hence, any application if fertilizer now is a waste of resources for the parent suckers. Though application of fertilizer now to the plantain will be beneficial to the up coming offspring in the next season. But the fertilizer will not be useful for the parent which has already attained puberty.. All the parent sucker need now to come out with big bunches is lot of water and hopefully the fertilizer applied at tender age will be enough to produce quality bunches.
If however the fruit start coming out and u realised it small....consult us

Client ANS 2. Cassava planted too last on a plot, growing well but fertilizer applied once too

Kenfarm Remarks: How tuberous your cassava tuber will grow depends on if you make a heap. If you make no heap and apply fertilizer, the tubers will still not be tuberous. So if you made heap, good but if not, am sorry do not expect a good yield of cassava......we have a book which is collated by experienced cassava farmers together with plant Nutritionist. The book spell out all you need to know on Cassava production and value chain. You may odder for either soft Copt or hard copy. It will be of tremendous help

Client ANS 3. Now finished planting cassava this Monday on an acre- fertilizer applied before planting.

Kenfarm Remarks: if you did not do a soil test before cultivation, it means you be doing a blanket application of fertilizer. But have it in mind that under application of fertilizer and over application of fertilizer are both injurious to the health of your crops. Hence, only critical level is agronomist recommendations.

Client ANS: 4. No soil test was done before planting. Is it too late to do one?

Kenfarm Remarks: It never late to check for a soil fertility. The following factors determines whether or not you need to check the fertility of your soil:
1. If you just acquire a farm land that been pur to use for a long period
2. If you have been practicing continuous cropping system
3. If your yield is becoming poor compare to few years back
4. If you are going to purchase ha of farmland for commercial farming
5. If you want to confirm which crop(s) can grow bear on your farm soil

Ewizard:
Even if this story is a fiction. Am more angry at some advice here than the wife's wicked act.
But I wouldn't quote and consequently argue with stupidity.

Though the op did not mention how much he earns, even if it's x2 of his wife's actual salary. Her act portrays wickedness and exploitation.

The op is that kinda man that has no "NO" in his dictionary.
You allow emotions to decide for you rather than your senses.

F∆ck what you ve bin thought about marriage. Love is a language of deceit and weakness. It's all game and your wife is the smarter fellow. And I bet you, you only discovered less than half of what you don't know about her.

A man doesn't necessarily need to be a control freak and possessive to be the manly man. Principles, rules, dos and don't, Yes and No, there should be a fucking balance btw love and logic.

If your wife serves you a tasteless meal when you gave her enough money to prepare a tasty meal, you demand an apology from her. And if she serves you a super duper delicious meal, compliment her in same proportion. Yes, u're not bin extremed. You're principled.

Tolerance should not make you stupid.

Even the Bible demands you to be incharge of your home as a man.

Show her all the love you have for her in the bedroom wen you flipping her around like the pages of a book and making her yell "daddy you're the best I will forever be your bitch". in the bedroom that's where you offload all your love and screw your wife like it's your last day on earth.
Not in the operation of your home.

They say a man that runs his home like an organisation makes profit from it.

How many men out there gain from their marriages?
You all know the outcome of this poll.

Bottom line, no let dem see you finish. Always give your woman a thing to fear for.

Real man sighted .....on point .....am taking home some of yur lines

Your maner of aproaching the issue and decision is just perfect........yu need no advise ........i just need to employ you to dig further into her life since after marriage and you realise there more secrete to discover........no b woman? Some test need b done sef

One area that can be more challenging in plantain farming is getting market for your fruit. After you have invested material resource and human resources on that farm land, harvest time is the time to know whether you will recover your input or lose everything to buyer who will take advantage of you.

If you spend the whole year caring for your plantain plantation and forget the fact that creating your market start from the day you transplanted the suckers, then you have yourself to blame.

The implication is that your fruit will all produce good yield but you be shock to know that the only available buyer are the bolly (roosted plantain) sellers who will offer to come buy at farm gate and pay you #200 per bunch ( e shock you?)

Or bad enough, you pay labour for harvesting the fruit, pay labour to bring them out of farm and pay transport to take them to the market then you settle down to sell and the wholesalers at the market will be pricing a bunch for #300 or max #400

They will even tell you they are doing you a favour by buying it off from you. Then you tell yourself, these stuff are perishable. The more they stay, the more they lose market value which is actually true.

Sadly you eventually sell them off and return home sad.

Make no such mistakes. The benefit of involving professional in the business is to guard you through a whole planting cycle. I mean to say you need the services of professional like kenfarm who will not only sell viable suckers to you. We sell suckers to our esteem client and continue to give them follow up from pre- planting to planting to post planting.

We would give you some clues as to how to recover your investment within a period of time and we also give you clues as to how to make your plantation sustainable. Because if the plantation is not sustainable, then gaining your investment over a period of time is almost impossible.

For you to accomplish your plan and retrieve your investment, 3 key factors must be played well

1. You must plant a viable sucker

2. Your farm soil must be fertile ( we help you ascertain this )

3. The management of the plantation must be man by an experienced farmer

If any of these factors is faulty, I can assure you frustration will surely set in and you will definitely lose your investment if you do not quickly seek for intervention from experience farmers like kenfarm

Downloading info from Google can never be enough to manage farm. Watching video on you tube can never be a good way to gain skill needed to manage your plantation.

Y?
Because which ever way you manage your plantation depends on

1. The out come of your soil fertility test

2. The geographical location of your farm

3. The biological factors and environmental factors peculiar to your farm

4. The availability of labour

I can go on and on

The bottom line is that those info you get online may not be applicable to your farm due to the factors listed above. Every farm is unique.
