Really? Do you have the heart bro?

Hehehehe
I'm not sure I've got what it takes right now. I am damn scared of heights. But I've made a conscious decision to face my fears. I've been doing that lately. So by the time I get to face the Everest, I should have psyched myself up enough to do it...hopefully

Very interesting thread.
Thanks OP.
Scaling the Everest is on my bucket list

Hello @FemakAuto, is this truck (or something similar) still available?

Hello everyone,

Please I'm in need of groundnuts FOR PLANTING.
So if you have, or can direct me to wherever I can get large quantity planting stock (enough to plant on 50acres), please contact me.

Thanks!

You've raised some very valid points here.
However, the peculiar challenges in Agribusiness sometimes limit the extent to which certain things can be done.

That being said, you rightly mentioned that "some private individuals are doing its sort of business (it's called 'contract farming' by the way) while credibility remains an issue". There are several of them on Nairaland here, but my personal experiences with @Jasper7 means I can vouch for him anyday. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be throwing his contract farming schemes open to the public anymore. So maybe we can get enought people to appeal to him (and the likes of @Hotmas911, @Jethro, @world1, @Lesgupnigeria, etc both online and offline, to work together in order to create a veritable contract farming and/or investment platform for AS MANY people as are willing to participate.

Cheers!!!

As a beneficiary of an earlier Jireh Training, I can attest to the technical and business knowledge/skills the training offers. It also opens one up to lots of opportunities. Taking advantage of this opportunity may turn out to be the best decision any youth could make, considering the economic trends of Nigeria.

Thanks Jasper!!

wildcard, hw profitable is it wen planted in an acre n I would lik to get ur no

The concept of 'Profitability' is relative. I wouldn't know what you'd consider profitable. So I'll just say anything agriculture has potentials for good profit, if managed properly, with a Lil Innovation especially in.marketing. However, there are lots of challenges in cucumber farming, as with all vegetable crops.

Cheers!!!

Thks, so to be on a safe side, I shd avoid transplanting it

Your choice.
It's usually not necessary, but as I did say, it can be done.

It depends on the amount of seedlings you intend transplanting. It's usually a stressful process, and cucumber seedlings are very fragile, so it's not something you'd want to do on a large scale.

However, it can be done, such as planting a few seeds on the side when doing your normal planting, so that you can transplant to areas that do not germinate (I usually do this). You'd have to be careful not to expose the roots of the seedlings though, as this may kill them. Also, transplant only in cool weather and ensure you water immediately after transplanting.

I hope you find this useful.

Cheers
