And must you buy a land before you can plant cassava? They borrow it because the next one you will plant won't be on the same land again because of lost nutrients, so you will need to shift to another borrowed land for planting another one against another season.
Ok. thanks

What new changes have happened along the value chain? Still the same Garri consuming the largest percentage of production. I haven't seen an increase in manufacturing of Cassava starch or any other by products by products. No improvement in preservation methods for raw Cassava. Nothing new in logistics. So what area of the value chain has seen an improvement that should help stomach the radical increase in production?

The increase is happening because the price of Garri went up so people figure it would be profitable and then rush in and then there is a glut and prices drop, people get burned and rush out and the circle keeps going.

We need to improve on our processing capacity for us to be able to preserve the excess production and probably start looking to create markets outside the country for the value added Cassava products

And I maintain that the rush of new entrants will still not meet the supply, harvest time. Even as we speak, the Cassava being planted right now has a market already. And I'm talking commercial here. Thousands of Hectares of land are being cultivated under outgrower-off taker agreements between farmer groups and companies producing Cassava Flour ALONE. A particular company in the South West for example has upped it's game massively to swallow the quantum of Cassava expected from their outgrowers next harvest. Funny thing is the Cassava will not scratch the surface of their demand. I expect Garri production will be left to small holder farms and even then, when the Cassava supply gets exhausted, these companies will then turn to those small holder farms for scarce Cassava.

I agree with you to the extent that at the start of harvest, prices might drop. However, it shouldn't and I daresay it won't bottom out the way it used to during glut cycles of old.

Yes, we still have a lot of ground to cover as far as medium scale processing goes. However, with the developments in processing of Cassava into Chips, Pellets, Grits, Starch, Flour by SMEs next harvesting season, all these derivatives will struggle for scarce Cassava at some point. Smart farmers that allow their Cassava remain unharvested till 12 months will smile to the Bank.

The best business one can do with that kind of money and become a testimony to ur friends and family is pig farming.

Pig farm is the must lucrative livestock farming but it is neglected. I have been rearing pigs for so so long.
If u have space to build a pig house then this will be so easy for u. Pigs are one of the cleanest animal but it all depended on how u house them. To prevent smell u can dig a suck away where u channels all waste products from this pigs to. U have to make sure it is always clean.

First of all u have to identify the kind of breed u want to rear cos this is important. I will advice u to go for a duroc or large white specie and this cost btw 30-40k for a piglet unlike the local breed that goes for 5k but, both can't be compared to money they bring to the bank. U can feed a local pig for a year but u won't notice in its weight unlike foreign breed. Foreign breeds eat to gain weight within a short time and they reproduce much more. A duroc or large white pig averages about 10 piglets twice a year and it can be more when cross breaded.

They become marketable in the market when the get to six month weighing about 80-150kg. A kg of pork goes for about 800-1000 naira do ur maths.

Feeding is very important and can also be so cheap when u know what to give them. It's true that pigs eat everything but u have to be mindful of what u give them don't feed them with kitchen waste to avoid diseases and worm. One can feed them with brew waste, rice waste from rice Mills around, Palm kneel waste from the inner kneel nut, soya beans, maize and hydroponics. Pls always remember to decor them every three months.

If a pig gives birth to ten pigs averagely and u were able to buy three pigs (foreign breeds)
Two female and a male
2*10 =20 (in six months) valued at 600k frm birth
Let's say out of the 20, 8 were female and the produced in six months again
80*10=80 forgetting the first two that produced 20 cos they will be reproducing again
80+20=100 in 12 months making u farm worth a value of about 4.5 million not forgetting to add the old stocks up and it goes on and one but u have to have passion for this to succeed cos the need time and care.

I believe with 350k all will be set for this.
Have a nice day.

Thanks bro, I will really give this a thought.. But how bout the possibility of live stock farming

Don't dabble into livestock with that kind of money. If you do, in a year be ready to step down except you have that much to reinvest. Livestock farming is a game of numbers. If my maths is not wrong if you try producing eggs with that kind of money you will own about a 100 birds and at a threshold of 75% production you will produce 2.5 crates per day. That's not feasible for expansion because you end up going back home with 8-12k per month. Let me know if you can sustain yourself with that and how much of that can help you expand. Best bet, go into crop production.

It wouldn't get you much with the said amount. A bag of fresh ginger combs currently goes for #9,000. let's say you bought 6-7 fresh bags for planting this season, by november - December harvest time, you can get up to 24-26 or more fresh bags of ginger
