Farm labour is going to be increasingly difficult to hire. This is because once u hire them & bring them here, they hardly go back. They start leasing farmlands & bcom ur competitor. One of d farm labour I brought last year has leased his own farmland nor too far from me. So, why not reduce ds stress & get ds simple but amazing farm implement? Such that, if they farm 2acres, u can farm 10acres. For operational video, WhatsApp my signature. |

Adasun:Sandy soil is only good for coconut. Cocoa requires rich humus/loamy soil. Cocoa also requires humid temperature & adequate rainfall. No, u can't plant oil-palm as cover crop for cocoa. Any cover crop must be able to provide cover very fast & plantain falls into such categories.. Besides, |
Are u still thinking hoes & cutlasses? U need to hv a rethink |
*Our emphasis in ds group is focused on cocoa. This because we know what cocoa money was used for in d then Western Region by Chief Awolowo |
Newway2:As a farmer or agroprenure, there will come a time when all energy will go & one still needs regular income. Such time is when d income from cash crops like cocoa, cashew, oil-palm etc will become valuable to us. I call such time & income our farming pension fund period |
*But why are our generation running away from cocoa farming?* 1) Ignorance. 2) We still have the carry over of the oil-boom era. 3) We blv it's a vocation for the elderly. 4) We blv it has very looooong gestation period. 5) Lack of interest in farming generally (even by those who were raised with cocoa money. 6)We blv cocoa is too technical to venture into etc. etc |
Newway2:Of all the cash crops available to us in d tropical rain forest of Nigeria, *cocoa* has d best ROI |
Newway2:International buyers chase after cash crops like cashew, cocoa, ginger etc. But that of Cocoa is incredible. Merchants give out billions of Naira to Agents to source for Cocoa in Ondo town when Cocoa is in season. The biggest Cocoa processor in Nigeria is working at 60 percent capacity because of inadequate Cocoa Beans. |
Newway2:*But, why cocoa? Why not other cash crops*.........? |
Newway2:*Why plantation farming?* While vegetables cultivation (& other animal husbandry) may (supposedly) bring quick and more profit with very high risk, plantation farming will bring everlasting profit with relatively low risk but you must be very patient. Banks also prefer funding cash crop cultivation to vegetables or other aspect of farming. In essence, Plantation agriculture is actually a low risk business. |
U can't compare d volume of work done by farm labourers to what machines can & will do. U do in a few hrs, what farm labour will do in days. Start ur mini farm mechanization today. WhatsApp my signature |
