But why are we always getting it wrong in Nigeria? Govt will released mony for agric but banks will hoard it or give to their associates.
If government build this greenhouses and give at discounted rate wouldn't we be happy. Anyway saa can you believe I dreamt about me having Apple farm here in Ogun state. @pavore9. How can I get this greenhouse here in Nigeria? Or do you have someone that can handle it here in Nigeria. Am interested

My dear such are our bane here, imagine earlier this year government released 14 billion naira for dry season farming yet a water project in Ogun state which has facility for irrigation, cannot not provide water for farmers.
For the green house, @pavore is right we can actually provide it here locally. I will search for one of those video on green house and send it to you.

Wow! I believe Nothing is impossible, since temperature in Nigeria is always the problem. What if we green house the tree and give the required temperature. Just thinking!

Hmmm 3 hectares? That's alot of land in cucumber farming o. You have a war chest with you o. Am talking endless possibilities of financial income

More reason why I need to get to closer, there are a lot to learn from you sir. Infact I left the place for now had move to poultry in the meantime. Though planning for year season

jasper7:
Let me just point this out. There's is no shortcut to success. You have to work hard, take risks and raise your game in order to succeed. Am saying this because I received a mail and the guy seems too desperate to make quick millions. I have to say it doesn't work like that. Any experienced farmer will tell you that.

Am forced to comment at this juncture, I have been following this threaD since yesterday as if my life depended on it. I don't even know weather to start crying or weep for myself. Sure farm work requires patient and due diligence, its not a get rich quick avenue but sure gives riches if you know your game.
Earlier this year I did 3 hectares of cucumber but couldn't make much due to glut then. But with your system here am gearing up for a rematch.
Thank you very much. If I have a way of reaching you I won't mind spending my christmas holiday with you. Am from anambra though base in lagos my farm is sited at ogun state. Chukwuduifeanyi@gmail.com that's my email I don't know how best to reach you as I couldn't access your contact. Thanks for the VALUE you are sharing!

One good thing about this list is that majority of them started small, and on non-oil field. Its interesting especially now that we have craze for oil and the oil is disappointing us.
Imagine the man who started manufacturing edible oil is among biggest employer of labour.
@OP Thanks for this thread!

world1:
Prof you are not a farmer and if you are then not on a large scale. our major problem here is manpower the unskilled labourers are over lazy after you might have thaugt them what to do the next thing they do is to start lookung for ways to spoil your business. after collecting few months salary from you they just go to set up what you are doing and also targeting your clients
If this Vietnam thing works out don't you know what we can make from it. transfer of ideals and technology

True talk my brother, wetin we de take see for farm mouth no fit talkam finish. If this vietman guys are skilled it will go long way. Somehow it will boost our local skill here too.

Hello please do you know about corn shredding machine I mean the one that removes corn from the cobs. Can one machine peel and shred too. How much can one get that. Thank you here's my email address chukwudumifeanyi@gmail.com

I washed the video quite interesting and inspiring, but I want to know if we have such company here in Nigeria that collects this urine from us and pay for it. @pavore I know you are over their in Kenya is their a possibility of striking deals with that company? Thank you

Am interested, when is it starting what's the cost. Thanks chukwudumifeanyi@gmail.com

Can you imagine this two, what's happening here, someone asked relevant question that is capable of helping their career, all they could do is asking some stupid questions. Can't you guys locate romance section?
@Femtech please don't allow this distract you. From my experience I think maize is cheaper but it dependent on the season.
Please is it possible I hook up with you by november 7th at nkpor to check out your poultry farm?

fr3do:
Glo's 3GB for 1k is still da bomb!

DadaStephen1:
I hope my information was helpful? Please guys, let's share what we already know with tose who don't. You could be a hero for that.

Thanks, it's really helpful to me, please where are you located, am presently in lagos am looking for BOA locations too. Please can you help?

@Farmtech, please am sorry to derail a little, I know this is a thread for goat but I want to know if you improvised your poultry feeds like grinding corn and soya beans. Please help as am looking for a way to minimise cost. Thank you

@pavore9 please what are the technique used to grow the fodder, I washed the video but I to know the fertiliser used on those fodder thank you

@farmtech thank you very much, this thread just came at the right time. Its worth a whole lot to me. Guess you will be hearing more from soon. Thanks once more

Please I will need to know more detail in this oil expeller. The price, the process to own one and what other feature makes it better than the other

jethro2: Nomination and election for new executives will be holding tomorrow in Abeokuta. Time is 10am. Please lets be punctual

Please why is this limited to only those in Abeokuta? Any plan for Lagos?

Simple economic will suffice here "the higher the demand for PONMO either for consumption or for leather the higher the value added both in dollars and naira" both can still go hand in hand, that will also encourage more farmers to go into cattle rearing

FarmTech: Anambra farmers, where are you people?

Thinking of coming to Nkpor next week @farmtech will be able to see you? I need to see your poultry farm, I want to learn from the masters

Mhhhm this is deep! But Nigerian politicians can be sensible when they are out of power.
I experiment on castor seed, heard they have a union that controls it here in Nigeria. Its a poisonous crop yet life saving. We only hope for the best

@pavore9 please how can one get that pump that is attached to the okada. Thank u

I will want to stand on the side of food processing: but truely one need to look at both w holistically, you cannot isolate one and leave the other. From experience here in nigeria, I realise that farmers go through a lot of stress to sell their farm produce. There is no system in place here to help a farmer produce then hands off sales. So you see a farmer produce here, plan his logistic then beg market women to buy at reasonable price.
Processing earns more for a farmer, and for economic development it encourages serious entrepreneurship, more people are employed to cater for farm produce. My 2 cent though Hope it made sense

This is right thread to follow, everything agriculture depend on your marketing QED

FarmTech: ..
Nkpor. I just met with Apitch not long ago. I'll talk to you. We planned visiting together.

Good to know my brothers are into this, am in Lagos hoping that I might be opportuned to join you guys on this great visit. On this farm things any knowledge is a blessing. @buchika I will alert you anytime I hit Anambra soil, you have a large heart!

boluwajokosegun: For those who want to dry any farm porduce,There is one commercial dryer manufactured in Ibadan it dry cassava chips, fish, moringa, fruits & meat by using heat generated from chacoal, not using direct fire from chacoal for drying so it maintain the original colour of the produce that you place in it. call 08136650972 ...Cost is N360k , it drys 5 tons with N200 chacoal

Please can it dry plantain and Banana and maintain its original colour?

Pavore9: Noted.

@Pavore I understand what you mean by processing it, infact I have seen one packaged and branded in a nylon bag, the person was complaining of NAFDAC wahala but I don't know the process I mean how they preserve it for freshness for a long time

UchihaMadara: I don't agree with the example you cited in no. 6, though I agree with the overall idea.

Just because you have money, doesn't mean you now have to be the one to fix your road, that's what the government is for. So how would the poor fix their own roads? Its obviously a different story if one was so philanthropic that he decided to do this, but that should in no way be the norm.

Besides this though, the write up was awesome!

I love coming across intelligent people, it's really a breadth of fresh air, as compared to others on the neighboring threads, insulting a whole tribe of people.

You don't need to use your money to build the road. You can organise your neighbourhood to pressure government to fix the road. I give you an example of community joining forces together "sometime 2 years ago I was getting crazy estimated bills from PHCN, I tried writing them on several occasion that the bills are heavy that I don't use that much of electricity in 1 month (14 to 16k monthly) they came to my house did findings yet the bills persist, on one of my numerous trip to their office I mett some guys writing down names of those offended by the bills I quickly put down my name and number. To cut long story shot we wrote to PHCN office Alausa wrote NERC and to Police station, infact this jolted their ogas at Alausa that they had to call us for series of meeting at the end of the day PHCN had to come to my house to install prepaid meter without paying them a dime" imagine what we were able to achieve with a group within a shot period despite the fact that some community heads wanted to fight us.

@ OP thanks for this info, but please clarify on the number of goat per acre, how you say 10 goat for 1 acre not even plot, are you sure of that. Considering high cost land, I have seen someone rear 8 cattle inside an office building.
