Sadly, by the time they are arrive other parts of the country the reduction in price will not be felt much.

That is what they bargained for!

So sad.

They should collect them and then vote for who they are convinced will serve the interest of their common good.

For what purpose?

[quote author=Izonpikin post=48750229]I have said it a million times...agriculture is only remembered once we are in recession or there is a fall in oil price...Once things get stable we abandon what ever that relates to large scale agriculture and also its finished and refined products...

The government presents agriculture quickly to pacify us and then fix their kids in CBN and NNPC...[/quote

That is pure lip service which successive governments at all levels have shamelessly engaged in. I only encourage Nigerians at individual level to go it on their own and not bother to wait on government. Take for example as an individual if one can preserve something like African pear way beyond the season it is in abundance, it is big money for the person when he/she brings it out when it is out of season.

How much is a 100kg of shelled groundnuts selling for?

A well thought out Agricultural road map is the MAGIC solution not forcefully pushing people into farms as many State governors are doing without empowering their people with innovative knowledge and inputs.

Internally, the journey from cultivating to our plates is so disjointed that is generates so much waste and we pay for such wastes by paying more for those that makes the market.

REUBEN010:
Once learnt from Pavore9 that it can grow in the cold regions up North. Obudu may also support its cultivation owing to the cold weather over there.

There is mix up in what you learnt regarding strawberries because there was a thread where l posted a video where strawberries are being grown in a place that is as hot as Sokoto state. One can also grow it in sacks.

WinningSun:
the price is low in Kenya because the price of crude oil is low. if Nigeria have refinery in place, and there is no price control it will reflect at pump price.

Kenya also imports its own refined. Because of the devaluation of the Naira, that 86.17 shillings translates to N345 per litre.

gabazin080:
not surprised its ghana.

he has money to celebrate and their economy is good. at least they aint buying petrol at #150 and rice is not up to 18k over there

Nigerians are not paying most for petrol in Africa! Kenyans are buying a litre at an equivalent of N350!

obstead200:
cos I am in owerri. I did an experimental watermelon farm and it failed. Diseases destroyed the plants but I learnt some lessons. I will replant by end of October.
My cucumbers did very well Sha.

You are now informing us that your cucumbers did well, after you have probably finished consuming it!

Hausa charm at work!

slimfit1:
That is not how to look at power, every little count it not when you have a thousand of this before you make and impact.

You captured my thought as every little counts. It is like using rice husk to generate electricity for rice growing communities in the rural areas and even if they get to have power everyday from 7p.m to midnight, it is a game changer for them.

CallMeNJay:
Nice how can i get little amount of the seeds to plant.

I want to experiment with about 5 sack bags in my little space at home.

Get in touch with the OP, he will be of a help.

CallMeNJay:
Lovely Thread @OrganicFoods and everyone in here.

Would really love to try this, Not for commercial purpose first. Just to grow my own lovely Cucumber in my little space at home.

How many months will it take before my first harvest?



http://healthmote.com

It takes 6-7weeks for first harvest.

ugo99:
Apart from cocumber what other plant can i plant and what are the setup costs.
as i have some deserted plots of land the person looking after it for me can be looking after this to keep busy what needs to be done to setup someone to be looking after it

One can grow lettuce, cabbage, tomato, capsicum, aubergine (eggplant), butternut squash, parsley, coriander, courgette, green peas etc (these l listed are high market value crops).

I suggest you start with trial of a few bags growing cucumbers, you will learn so much from it. Get in touch with organicfoods (the author of this thread), he is on ground to assist with set up costs and the technicalities involved.

Heffalump:
If it's not oil bunkering job, forget it. they will soon ignore the skills acquired and jump into the creeks.

Don't box them into that frame as these ones want to really apply themselve to enterprise they can be so proud of.

ugo99:
can i do this on a full plot in the east
i am thinking the quality of the ground soil is not an issue since its sack farming

Sack farming is not linked to quality of the ground soil as the filled sacks can be placed on any surface, seen many who have their sack farms on the deckings of uncompleted buildings.

legalwealth:
I can send any of the currencies but I will bill you its dollar equivalent.

Unfortunately! The skrill fund has been exhausted.

I want direct transfer from skrill GBP/Euro accounts to my skrill GBP/Euro accounts

WinningSun:
they are not lucky. they are subject to the dictates suppliers.

Kenyans were buying a litre of Petrol as at 2012 for 112 shillings then their exchange rate was 85 shillings to 1 US dollar. Today they buy a litre for 86.17 shillings and the exchange rate us 101 shillings to 1 US dollar. Their economy is tied to hosting conferences, tourism and export of Agricultural products.

Countries whose economy are not tied to oil and some other commodities are lucky.

Nice one, hoping those from the zone can utilize this for export of well packaged products produced locally.

legalwealth:
You are highly welcome... Thanks for your patronage and feedback! !!

I still have 900$ skrill fund left at N360/$.

Do you have Skrill Euro and GBP?

ajepako:
Shey dem lie ni?

Na bush meat na...

Conservation is not part of our national life. Wildlife conservation is big business and Kenyan tourism is tied to it, earning the Country billions of dollars annually.

ajepako:
Nigerians only recognize NATGEO-POT or NATGEO-SOUP

It reminded me when l was watching an episode of NatGeoWild where the wildebeest migration in Kenya was aired, showing millions of animals migrating and my Kenyan friends were mocking me that if it was in Nigeria it would have been bush meat!

free2ryhme:
na for mouth ?

when investors are packing their loads away from this country and your corrupt politicians are looting the nation dry with no plan for tomorrow

Na our corrupt politicians!

Slimflame:

rubyradiance:
Pls I will love to have a mini garden of parsley but I'm a total novice can u help?

Once you get the seeds, we can start from there. Check on another Nairalander by the name soloxam, he is well known for selling seeds.
