Can you get us the link to the videos pavore9?

For a small simple dryer a carpenter can couple twice the size the length of the one in the video within an hour.

How the dried tomatoes is ground into powder with blender.

So with these 2 videos one can solar dry tomatoes for home use.

Crooks!

Sighs......

Inspiring.....even in the midst of warfare, fighting to protect fellow Nigerians from demented beings he still gets connected to the WORD. That publication near the calculator there is Deeper Life's.

This is going to be interesting.

This is a witchhunt. The FG has been warned. Should anything happen to Ooni, hell will be let loose.

Which hell?

Blocking wastage is what we desire.

The avoidable loss of lives must be paid for by serving justice.

chukwubuzor123:
its okay, I will try to watch it.

The video already posted is for re-constituting the tomato powder. I will post the link to the video of the small solar dryer later in the day.

Nigeria is not an Islamic state, so that is in the right order.

chukwubuzor123:
Can you please give a highlight on how I can be able to prepare this as I may not watch the video.

Unfortunately, you must have to watch some videos to see how a small simple solar dryer looks like and how it can be constructed with less than 4k, you need to watch how tomatoes are solar dried and made into powder and how the powder is re-constituted into tomato paste...it is visual based.

The year of dramas continues...........

DeLaRue:
The challenge is that ground tomato is totally alien to most Nigerian housewives. So, unless you have a fair amount of resources to push this new product and convince people to buy, this is probably not a product most small scale Nairaland farmers can rush into.


Besides, in the Nigerian context, there is something about ground dry tomato that will leave me, and I suspect many others, wondering what else is inside that brown polythene bag other than tomato This is Nigeria. People adulterate everything. Nigerians can easily add some funny 'additives' to bulk up the weight.

At least with raw tomatoes, people see and know exactly what they are buying.

Not all ideas are easily transferable to Nigeria. That's not to say this cant work, but, hmmm....


I think this will only catch on if buyers are confident about the providence of the product.

Because of our antecedents of being good at supplementing ground products with other stuffs, one tends to be cautious. Should producers of products such as ONGA go into this, it would fly easily because they already have the brand name but a small holder who can assure quality and certified by the regulatory body can at the first entrance focus on student communities and with packs of 50gms which can easily be re-constituted into tomato paste by whisking it with hot water. This video gives an idea.

is located in ATANI in Anambra state Nigeria if the earning am sorry just cannot disclose that here so my dear i know what am saying thanks and remain bless.

I asked of your yield because any potential investor interested in such should work with figures. There should be nothing coded about it. I have been to Ogwu Ikpele, Ossomala, Ohita, Ochuche Umuodu and your local government headquarters in Atani, so l know your terrain. I will always be bold to say l can come over to your place to grow Strawberries and harvest nothing less than a tonne on a monthly basis, selling a kilo for nothing less than N1,000. It is no big deal!

divineappo:
wow! Dats a huge idea, d kind where u watch ur money grow like grass. Are there much buyers for powder tomato?

When fresh tomatoes becomes expensive in the coming months, you will get an idea.

Observing....

This is an opportunity for someone living around such area to buy it cheap and have them solar dried and ground into powder that can last for years when properly stored!

You will be shocked to see the local diary farmers in kenya as they are mostly villagers with 2-5 dairy cows, members of their co-operatives daily bring together their production & sell to a processing plant. There are abt 1.8million of such farmers.

l live in kenya & when it comes to fresh milk, l know much. Why do you think the milk company owned by the Kenya's President family wants to have a presence in Nigeria? lt costs a good Kenyan dairy farmer about N42 to produce a litre of raw milk!

@aloeman15, there are so many options open to a dairy farmer producing that quantity, he can pastuerized it & sell thru a dispensing machine or packaged in 50cl packs like that of pure water. lt can b processed to cheese. So l stand by my assertion.

lt is all about demand and supply.

austin2all:
Pls how much is the dalasis to naira, Gambia is trekkable at least.

You and this your joint!

Just as emorse posted, you chose to see a half empty glass. Achieving self sufficiency to an extent is no rocket science. lt will take an investor less than a year to set up a dairy farm that produces 15,000 litres of milk daily if the will is there.

tosyno85:

Following the flow.

Three days ago, I got a phone call from someone from Notion Africa requesting a visit to our farm. They wanted to do a documentary for DSTV Africa Magic on our Vertical sack farming, we were excited and more than willing to share our ideas and techniques live on camera. A date was fixed and by Saturday filming started, Charles Agbemashior a Ghanaian form Notion Africa worked us through the filming processes for almost 8 hours of filming none stop, he was a perfectionist with strong passion that conquer stress throughout the process, a thorough man I must say, we demonstrated live and even harvested lettuce. Production and editing will be done in Canada and in three weeks the video should be ready for screening on DSTV and other stations across the world. We will be coming to Lagos in a program titled "Get Skilled" organized by Notion Africa by March (A date hasn't been fixed) to teach more than 100 guests across local council in Lagos State on the techniques for vertical sack farming. All these will be done for free, however we will be coming with some of our organic products (Organic Manure, And Neem Oil). You can encourage us by buying this products...We are giving every knowledge and everything we know about this unique farming for free, we however shouldn't be paying to do so, encourage us by buying our product when we come to Lagos in March!

Special thanks to Pavore9 and Ibrahim who gave Charles my number, Nairalander who have criticized our work and those that should immense support, the balance gave us strength, the revolution starts now! I want to see all secondary schools students practicing Vertical Sack Farming, We have started in Ibadan. If you know of any schools in Lagos that can inculcate this Idea, pleas do let me know...Cheers the journey is still very far.

It gladdens my heat knowing that from a simple post on vertical sack farming, you have flown with the idea and would be viewed across borders. It reminds me of what a Reverend Father told me, he said knowledge shared is a seed sown to provide harvest for someone. May the Lord continue to strengthen you and your team.

They are humans like me. If l feel comfortable using phones made by non-Christians what should justify my wanting to discriminate against them!

Origin:
I like the fact that you've discouraged the use of chemicals and fertilizer as it ultimately harms humans.

I read a report that slurry is used and it has one of the best nutrient for soil and plant life. Its also natural and safe. Its green and recycles waste.

All round win win.

Keeping away from the synthetic stuff as much as possible is the way to go. Just as the red stark apple is being grown without them.
