But the stress and risk is more right?

That is what scares people away, with the required knowledge and expertise, stress will be eliminated and risk minimal.

I am seriously thinking about it since I have almost an acre fallow.

But I'm torn between planting palms and abandon the site or planting cassava to harvest and sell on the spot, then till the and again.

cassava is more lucrative and a short term investment

CASSAVA VALUE CHAIN

In Nigeria, cassava value chain is dominated by small holders farmers cum cooperative society producers. Cassava is predominantly grown in the south and a few of North central states. Sadly 80% of cassava produced in Nigeria is used for food leaving little or nothing for export. This is as a result of bad roads ,poor power supply ,education, low investment and obsolete methods of processing.
It is natural knowledge that people believe that cassava can only be used for garri and foo-foo. Of a truth cassava has been under utilised and have not been maximized to its fullest, in other to score some important economic goals by Farmers and end users of agro produce. It is important to note that there are other uses of cassava that adds value to life and also promotes the economy.
Cassava is a highly climate and soil-tolerant regarding its yield performance. Cultivation of Cassava does not require large amounts of inputs for a better yield a productivity than other tropical crops.
It is also important to note that the output of the cassava that comes out Nigeria does not meet with local demand, making it impossible for export. So it relieves the fear of marketability.
There are some important products that is refered to as cassava By-products and the are as follows
CASSAVA BY -PRODUCTS
*Cassava flour
*Cassava industrial starch
*Garri
*Cassava pasta
*Ethanol
*Livestock feed production.
*Foo-Foo
*Adhesives
*Sweetners
*Cassava chips

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN CASSAVA VALUE CHAIN
* Supply of raw materials
* Food packaging
* Consultancy Services
* Cultivars (Stem) sale
* Exportation.
Cassava industry is still very attractive and profitable both locally and globally, together we can make cassava an important export material. when will you begin your cassava farm?.

The Chancellor of Gregory University Uturu, Prof Gregory Ibe, on Monday, announced the donation of 850 bags of rice, hand sanitizers, and other packages in order to mitigate the harsh consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Abia State and across the nation in general.


A statement sent to Igbere TV, personally signed by him, Prof Ibe particularly commended the strategies put in place and personally supervised by the Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, under the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Coronavirus, stating that with the combined effort of government and other critical stakeholders, the war against coronavirus would surely be defeated.


According to the statement, ”It is therefore in the spirit of complementing the strategies currently being pursued by our state Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, to mitigate the possible outbreak of COVID-19 in Abia, that I have directed the immediate implementation of the following measures;


Donation of equipment and facilities for establishment of a functional COVID-19 Isolation Centre within Abia North as a way of complementing the other centres already earmarked by government.

The Inter-Ministerial Committee on Coronavirus is thereby invited to provide a suitable facility for equipping with available medical facilities.

The immediate supply of COVID-19 testing kits and other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), for subsequent distribution to tertiary health institutions within the state and across the nation.

The supply of 850 bags of rice for distribution to Abians through the Local Government Councils, at the ratio of 50 bags per LGA, as a way of mitigating the harsh realities of possible lockdown.

The conduct of extensive research, jointly by the Gregory University Uturu Colleges of Pharmacy, Basic Health Sciences, Medicine and Surgery, Natural and Applied Sciences, Departments of Biochemistry and Alternative Medicine, in order to discover and propose anti COVID-19 vaccines.

The mass production of potent hand sanitizers by the Entrepreneurship Department of Gregory University Uturu, for subsequent distribution to Abians, especially those involved in the execution of essential services, including Health Workers, Security Personnel, National Union of Road Transport Workers, etc.

The release and deployment of three (3) Gregory University Uturu Specialist Hospital medical ambulances to the state Inter-Ministerial Committee on Coronavirus to assist in shuttling suspected cases to designated places for medical attention.

All Gregory University Uturu medical facilities, both at Uturu and Amachara, are hereby placed at the disposal of the state Inter-Ministerial Committee on Coronavirus, as all medical personnel working in these places have been directed to be at stand-by in their duty posts throughout the duration of the war against COVID-19.

The constant fumigation of public places in selected parts of of the state by the works department of Gregory University Uturu.

While the media unit of our university has been mandated to deploy all available publicity outlets in initiating, implementing and sustaining awareness campaigns on the pandemic, Abians are once again encouraged to adopt such safety measures as, regular washing of hands with soap and running water, use of alcohol base hand sanitizers, refraining from handshakes and embraces, covering of mouth and nose with the elbow while sneezing or coughing, activating the social distancing mode and above all praying to the God
of Abia to keep the state safe from the scourge of the Egyptians.

It will be recalled that Prof Ibe recently announced similar intervention in the education sector when he offered #350M worth of scholarship award to 90 Abians from 17 Local government Areas of the state.

[quote author=Eseneyen post=65277872]MUSHROOM FARMING IN NIGERIA
Secrets Revealed.....
Till date,we have over 1million species of mushrooms worldwide,out of which 50,000 species are cultivated for commercial purposes.
Oyster white mushroom is our main focus now. White oyster mushrooms is edible and also medicinal,and the demand for this type of mushroom is overwhelming in Nigeria and we produced only 1% in Nigeria, so we need to tap into this great opportunities that abound in oyster mushroom production now.

SIMPLE ANALYSIS FOR MUSHROOM FARMING IN NIGERIA. Do you know that if you start a 10ft X 10ft 500 small bags of mushroom farm can rake in a whopping sum of about #5,000,000 in a year, yes, you read aright # 5m plus in a year.
It is expected that each bag will produce 3KG of mushroom in three months and a kilogram of mushroom is sold for between #1,000 and #2000. Let's say #1,000. That means the 500 small bags will produce #1,500Kg in three months multiply by #1,000, that is #1,500,000 (#1.5m in three months) times 4 in a year gives #6,000,000 (# 6m ).Is that not amazing?
