NNPC sell PMS to independent marketers @133.50 - #136.50 per liter and you as a marketer sell for #145 per liter.. That's a profit of ~#10 per litre... If you have a tanker of 35,000 litres, you make a profit of #350,000.. Lucrative right? U have to pay your workers, buy diesel for your generator and miscellaneous cost... All boils done if you can get at least supply of fuel alteast 4times in a month.... To counter all this, join their union, be ready to bribe, don't involve in their union politics, be neutral to all parties involve and support them all financially, then you enjoy your business.

My neighbour in farm tried planting it on six acres of land twice last year but the results was fatal, in fact he never harvest one single Mellon. Up till now his life never remains the same. Though am not against you trying it, 100k is not much for a research and development.
Universities use billions.

Alfather:
thanks for your comment, but i keep wondering why northerners keep planting this crop when the risk is high. It seems they are trick involve in planting this watermelon

I reside in benin city. Am planning to invest a hundred thousand naira on water melon farm during the month of march this year, but I dont want to be move by mouth watering post i see on the net by nigeria bloggers. So water melon farmers share your experience. Is it as lucreative as it is claim, would it be a breaking point for any one who endures in it this year out of the reccession? and what are yur takes on the plans. What do you have to say on the crop in particular.

in my area a woman laborer daypay is #1500 while men are #2000,so if 5 women will do the job that is #7500 +#400 feeding per person and #1000 transport,so you will be looking at spending at least #10,000 per day for 7 days and you will weed twice that will be roughly #140,000k just weeding,let us leave the insecticide and others that will be applied,sprayed,etc for another day.

I am also a Beans farmer and I planted 2 hectare and got 3 bags of 1000kg bags after spending about 160K. If you can get a variety with less shaft, mechanized planting, weeding, boom sprayer, threshing machine, sifter and large tracts of land, you may turn a profit.

As of now, I don’t think I am doing Beans without any of the aforementioned

okoroemeka:
my brother doing manual weeding on 2-3 hectares is not a joke,

I keep on wondering why people hardly discuss planting beans here in this forum

please is it really profitable because i will like to try my hands on it?

the little i have researched showed me that beans dont need too much water and it can grow well even when not taken good care of,

but i keep on wondering why people hardly plant beans for a living

they say only the norths plant beans but am wondering how come,

beans take little space to be planted onlike other plants but it tends to feel like no one cares about it

is it that beans is not profitable after harvesting it or is it that there is no available market to go and sell them?

or maybe the harvesting and peeling and shiftering process is too hard,

i just keep wondering and poundering on my mind why people dont go into beans farming

is the growing proccess too long and tiring?

i dont know if someone here can enlighten me on this so i can think otherwise

thanks

my2chains:
ok thanks but how much did it cost you planting beans in the whole 3 hectares?

You stay in the north where foodstuffs are more cheaper

but someone who stays in lagos will gain more selling it

how many months does it stay before you start harvesting them?

And is the buyers available already or you are to source for it yourself
