I am yet to see a business in Nigeria, you can run while abroad.
Everything people suggests always fails ?

Why is this ?

Tohsynetita1:
But there are some other things that can give you millions in a year now.

Trustyourself:
If you work hard in Europe, you can make the amount you mentioned in less than 3 months

incogni2o:
Never try this unless you have like 20 cameras on your cocoa farm.

A farmer needs to constantly be on ground

maridrug:
Like what please?

writeprof:
Thinking about this

Ojey1234:
Good morning house, I need your advice, traveling out to a Schengen country or going into a cocoa farming, which is the best,

Please I need advice

Makamatic:
Run away and never come back till you get that schegen passport ... run away , run away , run away



NB: dear OP the last person that asked a question similar to this on this same nairaland years back is now regretting why he didn't run away ... run away without looking back

jidestroud:
Travel out. Forget Cocoa farming for now. In short, forget venturing into any business as a newbie in Nigeria right now. So do not, I repeat, DO NOT GIVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT.

princemaths:
I can't wait for hunger to finish you. Idiiot.

CaptainGo:
Are you saying 5 to 10 million naira investment in sugarcane farming can yield up to100 million naira in 14 months?

ednut1:
Travel out with visitors visa?

richiemcgold:
Can such job sustain you for life? A well nurtured cocoa farm can serve 2 - 3 generations

richiemcgold:
OP, if the cocoa plantation is a large farm, abeg hold on to it and forget about traveling out.

I bought a piece of land in Akure 2 years ago (2 & half plots), there were 3 cocoa trees on that land but the trees were not in good condition. I almost fell the trees down but someone advised me not to do it. He recommended a man who came to tend the trees for me and apply necessary chemicals. Cutting the long story short, those 3 cocoa trees have fetched me more than N400k. That's almost half of the amount I bought the land. Just 3 cocoa trees o.

.. now I have decided not to build anything on the land for now. I want to plant as many cocoa tress as possible on it. That's one of my targets in 2025. The man said I can easily get between 600-800 kilos annually on that land. A kilo of cocoa is presently N13,000

The picture of the 3 trees when I first acquired the land 👇👇👇

mcjohny:
yes, It should be more than that
Based on how it's done over here, it can be watered atleast every 2 weeks until rain comes, even after the rain it can take up to 3 months that's if you will water it again before maturity.
12 months is enough to cashout on sugarcane I love it because it has unending market demand
Ask people, I mean experienced farmers ooh not those University lectures
Go to the farms, ask questions and you will be amazed

Cassava business is lucrative?

drololaaof:
Cocoa farming is good. But the problem associated are many . There is astronomical rise in price this year, but it is not like that before this is as a result in exchange rate of ₦1600\ $.
To get good and fertile land is another factor, there is no virgin forest again the forest reserves have been taken over by government unless you acquire land by inheritance.
If you get land ,you will plant and nurse for minimum of 2years before you start harvesting ,it must be hybrid called BOLA IGE after the agriculture Commissioner during Awolowo regime
Cost of clearing and farm maintainance is another factor.
Cocoa is yeilding but it is long time investment..
Farmers face problem of thieves, those going to harvest the fruit in the farm and and after harvest

Na you dey know useless people

Trustyourself:
Is it the one that Fulani herdsmen and their cattle will allow you nurture and grow? Or it is the one that kidnappers and all forms of insecurity will permit you to have rest of mind?

Greatechng:
Bros farm your cocoa then travel to the country that needs cocoa to establish business contact there then come back and harvest your cocoa for exportation
