My nursery house under (local green house) construction. Disadvantage of planting back to back is disease spreading easily which makes tomato manage to be difficult. I discovered some of my seedlings is getting sick before I transplant that is why I am doing it.

Honest Review of the services of providing farm workers by kpas4kpas2

After seeing a feedback from @farmerakinloye6 our reputable farmer here, that @ kpas4kpas2 was able to supply him 2 workers so I decided to try him
I paid advanced payment for two workers , the agreement was that I ll pay 15k for each worker and upon delivery I pay the balance of 15k on each worker.
The experience was not a palatable one at all after giving him a long rope to redeem himself, I just have to come to a conclusion that he is a scammer.

I sent him 30k on the first of june 2023 and he was supposed to send the workers a day or two after receiving the payment. I told him if he delivers I will still need 3-5 workers more.
Then the story started. He wanted to start working on the extra workers but I told him to send the 2 available first.
He even told me he was likely going to send 3 workers so that when they get to the park i ll send another 15k to cover for the 3rd person. But I insisted not to send 3 people , he should just deliver the 2 I paid for first cos I got workers elsewhere when he was delaying
After his phone was not reachable , he eventually called me with his wife's number and gave a story before noon that finally He sent me 1 worker and I took delivery of the guy on the 5thof June 2023.He as supposed to send one more person so I can pay him the balance of 30k but that was not forth coming
By the time it was next morning ,the so called worker came with a story that he is a student and his result just came out ,the the brother called him that he need to come and rectify something on his result as the name on the result is different from his name, so I should give him money to go back and rectify his result and then come back. It was so funny to me and I knew he is a scammer, so I ignored him. Before I knew what was happening he left the farm, so I called him and asked him where he got money as he claimed he doesnt have transport back, he started asking me to send him money that at least he worked for one day . (HE DON SEE MUMU)
Eventually the kpas4kpas2 guy (moniker on naira land, his real name is ALAKU ALFRED AKPAS LUKA) apologized and said he send another worker. So I started waiting for him and made alternative arrangement for another 4 workers elsewhere which came within 3 days.
The last time I called him , he told me the guy has finished what he went to do and looking for money to come back, I didnt buy the story , in order words I shd send money for transport . Till today 7th July 2023 (more than one month and one week) I haven't heard from him on supply of any worker . neither did he return my 30k fee. So please be careful to deal with him

Farmerakinloye6:
I use one spot twice in a year, I will plant tomato first then cucumber for the second time, or cucumber first then tomato.

Noted.
Thanks a lot sir...

What price can u afford?, cos few sellers who hoarded it are now selling twice the usual price.

Farmerakinloye6:
Mistake that can cost you your farm: 1 fertilizer; know dosage,when and how to apply it. If you do mistake, your TOMATO will die. 2. Manure, if you do not allow your poultry littter,pig,cow e.g to compost and you use it fresh, your TOMATO will die. 3. Insecticide, if high dosage is use especially on young tomato, the result will be devastating. 4. Namatode, if you don't know history or you are using the farm land for the first time to cultivate TOMATO,it make sense to treat the soil. Have heard someone said "he lost 6000 stand to namatode." 5. Seedlings tray, after you sow seed inside seedlings tray spread them on soil (if the soil is fertile, your seedlings will thank you), if you spread them on concrete they will be dying/cripple one after other maybe 10-15days, because there root has shoot out and could not penetrate to search for nutrient/food.
Always look before you leap..[b][/b].more loading....TOMATO Farmer pls add your own and let make Nigeria Great!!

You never see anything wait till September ending till mid of December! I pity those that borrow money to do this work.

Borrowing to fund tomatoes cultivation at this time of the year is suicidal.

this year is actually going to be different kinda off ...the tomatoe calendar for this year is already ruined ,although it's not advisable to borrow money to fund tomato cultivation I however still believe tomato will still sell for very good price till end of the year...because the main supply line has be critically hit this year,before thing goes back to normality will be next year...

I saw a programme on nta 100s of tomato farmers are vowing to never cultivate Tomato again in the north until the government find a way to help them with tuta absoluta ,more than 5000000 hectares was lost to tuta absoluta this year...

So I will implore western farmer to keep cultivating

If you know the extent people have taken to cash in on these high prices, you would exercise cautious optimism...Baba let's pray for the best, but also expect glut at some point sha

I understand what you saying, normally ending of July/August/early September is well known as glut period of tomato,that's the usual pattern,but I believe it's gonna be different this year....reason being that the scarcity period is already enlonged,local farmers that fill the supply chain that causes glut in August also planted very early because they are the one selling mostly in Lagos now, tomato is not cucumber that grows in 45 days..so were will the glut come from?

Northern farmer are still morning their losses diverting funds to soya,pepper, potatoes etc.

If there will be glut ,I'm forecasting December.

Still exercise cautious optimism, Yoruba tomato is already out and supply continues to mid September when second half of the rain starts, yoruba tomato glut is definitely coming this August break, the signs are already there

The mad rush for tomato seeds currently is a signal that a glut may exist between October and December although not as bad as previous years. Rain-fed tomato farmers that were not able to cultivate earlier because of scanty rains are now planting in order to at least have a bite of the high price this year. All the rush for planting now will be due for harvest between October and December bringing about a glut.
Like already advised, we need to thread with caution.

In my opinion, scarcity of tomatoes may start again earlier next year because of many farmers abstinence due to high cost of fuel for irrigation dependent farmers and the fear of Tuta in the North.
