I believe we are only giving ourselves partial excuses for not growing apple in Nigeria. I don't see any difference btw the climate of South Africa and Jos, yet you see them plant apple heavily. We just need a few research and we are good to go. Unfortunately, we dont do research here.

jethro2:
Cassava N20,000 per pick up
Soya beans N80,000 per tonn
Maize N40,000 per tonne
Yam flour N20,000 per bag

...so maize is costlier than cassava?

download this app "app2sd"" and move all ur APps to SD card

Do i need an app to move all apps to SD card?

I ve tried most solutions like clear cache, move app to SD card etc to no avail. Any solutions?

I am foreseeing a great demand in cassava soon. FG has finally concluded plans on HQCF and most flour mills are ready to comply. In the next few months the cost of fufu and garri will jerk up.

I think I will vote for Rooneyboy for now.

I used to use Gmzcheap, but it is as if he is tired.

world1:

He need more than experience farmers because he has to write a business plan with 3years cash flow projection. How many farmers knows that.

The farmer will definitely not write for him but he can give him all info including cash flow etc.

I m beginning to be tired of these SME data sellers. From delay to no data, to non-response to chat etc. Can someone recommend anyone that is still reliable pls.

Yes.... Got 25pieces from there. it was sold for N100 each piece. its not much since its d first harvest from it. Harvested frm the first set I planted today again, its the forth time I hv harvest frm it. Didnt complete an acre at first due to d community youth disturbance n unavailability of seeds. Just finished it this month n I hv added an acre to mk it 2 acres. My issh is tht I'm not sure if its a complete size; thts 2acres but I'm sure of getting over 200 - 300pieces in every 10days harvest by January.

@Realchris, what do u refer to 1 piece. You said 25 pieces was sold for 100 naira. Is it the stalk? Can u post some pictures?

Pls what area of Abuja ?

How easy is it t irrigate acres of land?

sedulus:
my candid advice is going into plantain ....its veru lucrative and u will think u did money rituals....plantain need not much capital before u invest....to buy plantain suckers visit www.facebook.com/sedulusplantainfarming or call mr.clifford on 08120757274

Can you give a rough estimate of cultivating one acre and how many years does it mature?

Pls I will like to understudy a farm with afeqo irrigation process anywhere. Kindly send link.

Why don't you put poultry dungs around the plant?

jethro2:

The seedling requirement for an acre is 300g of seed. I can give the estimated calculation per acre until after harvesting. Murano seed is N5,500 for 50g while marketer and pointsett are N1,500 for 100g

And also, how many of those bags of harvested cucumbers can you get from one acre.

Jethro Boss, pls can u give d rough estimate of cultivating an acre of cucumber. Especially the cost of seedling, of d two varieties ( and where to get the seeds) as well as d cost of herbiciding.

Pls what is the conversion rate of cassava to garri & hw much is 50kg of Garri? Pls i need this info for a project asap. Thank you. Different species of cassava and different types of garri can be stated.

@Hotmas911, I am really enjoying ur good works. Pls keep it up. What is the Generator and hose tapping water for? Is it an irrigation process or what?

@Ogbongenet, what breed is that your cassava? Looks nice.
