Jasper 7 will be in lagos to teach you the secret of making mega money from Cucumber farming in Nigeria.

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) originates in southern Asia, but a large number of cultivars have been developed and are grown worldwide. It is a widely cultivated plant of the family Cucurbitaceae. It is a creeping vine that bears cylindrical fruits that are used as culinary vegetables.

There are three main varieties of cucumber:

Slicing,
Pickling, and
Burpless.

Within these varieties, several different cultivars have emerged.

The cucumber is a herbaceous trailing annual capable of spreading in all directions. The root system is in the form of a tap root that penetrates de

Importance of Cucumber
Rehydrates body and replenishes daily vitamins - Cucumbers are 95 % water, keeping the body hydrated while helping the body eliminates toxins. Cucumbers have most of the vitamins the body needs in a single day. The skin contains a good amount of vitamin C, about 10 % of the daily-recommended allowance.

Skin and hair care - it can be used for skin irritations and sunburns. The silicon and sulfur in cucumbers help to stimulate hair growth.

Aids in weight loss and digestion - Due to its low calorie and high water content, cucumber is an ideal diet for people who are looking for weight loss.

The high water content and dietary fiber in cucumbers are very effective in ridding the body of toxins from the digestive system, aiding digestion. Daily consumption of cucumbers can be regarded as a remedy for chronic constipation.

Cures diabetes, reduces cholesterol and controls blood pressure - Cucumber juice contains a hormone which is needed by the cells of the pancreas for producing insulin which has been found to be beneficial to diabetic patients.

Researchers found that a compound called sterols in cucumbers may help reduce cholesterol levels.

Cucumbers contain a lot of potassium, magnesium and fiber. These work effectively for regulating blood pressure. This makes cucumbers good for treating both low blood pressure and high blood pressure.

They are also rich in vitamin A, B1, B6, C & D, Folate, Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium.

Cultivation
Cucumber does well on a well drained soil, often planted on raised beds. It also thrives in a sandy loam soil.

It requires a good amount of sunshine and warmth and is mostly grown in green house. It requires space and can rapidly reach around 6 feet. .

They can be allowed to spread over the ground and where space is limited train the plant against a wall, stake.

Surely, I will be there.

Weldone boss!

Great.
I will be expecting you.

Now, we`re in trouble. More countries of the world are discovering oil, so the oil`s demand is falling with its price.

Don`t let me spend my time talking here about how neglect of agriculture affects us as a nation, since I know you may not have much interest in that. Instead, I’ll discuss various business opportunities in Nigeria Agricultural sector.

You have options to choose, whether you`ll love to go into agribusiness (business of agriculture) as a crop and plant farmer or as a livestock farmer… rearing animals for commercial purpose

Either of this can be done with modern agricultural tools and implements. Either of this can be done in large and profitable scale.

We need an urgent re-orientation!

We have to start seeing farming as business and blood of our nation.

In those days, cocoa was the gold (and largest non-oil export) for Nigeria, mostly from west, yam and cassava was much in south and sorghum, millet were much from north.

So were rubber, maize, melon, cashew nut, sesame, groundnuts, palm kernels, palm oil, plantains, rice, soybeans etc.

Aside all these, Nigeria is blessed with a favourable soil and climate condition that can accommodate crops such as onion, carrot, cocoa yam, pear, potatoes, okra, vegetables, beans and so much more.

But we rely on oil.

Before the civil war in Nigeria, our country had more than enough food to take care of its citizen. From 1973 however, things started changing (for bad).

Even though over 70% of our land is arable, Nigerian youths are not encouraged to see farming as business. Instead, we all grew up and dream of working in a bank hall.

Before oil was discovered, agriculture in Nigeria was booming, that was the gold we had.

However as we discovered honey, we threw away the beans cake. Though honey is sweet, it`s cake that can best quench our hunger.

Farm visitation at Highhill Plantain Village

For maximum revenue and steady cash flow, you can do inter-cropping on your plantation farms i did pineapple in mine.

Plantains are a member of the banana family.

They are a starchy, low in sugar variety that is cooked before serving as it is unsuitable raw.

It is used in many savory dishes somewhat like a potato would be used and is very popular in Western Africa and the Caribbean countries.

Awesomely doing well

You might be wondering how Plantain Farming can make you millions of naira yearly and we say, with a very little capital.

We have seen its results and that's why we are going to take you by the hand and show you, if you are serious to make serious money, how to plant plantain and market it with ease here in Nigeria and especially abroad, using the foolproof method we use.

Nigeria's agriculture sector to get US$1.8bn.

The Nigerian Agribusiness Group (NABG) has plans to invest US$1.8bn for the development of agribusiness across Nigeria

Sunny Echono, permanent secretary in the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, made this announcement at NABG’s first annual general meeting in Lagos. NABG is a private sector agribusiness group led by Sani Dangote, and it is comprised of stakeholders across the agriculture value chain, from farmer associations to food processors and transporters as well as banks and finance companies.

Echono called the private sector an engine of growth for the economy, and said, “We have ended the dominance of government and I am optimistic that the private sector will lead Nigeria in restoring its past glory in agriculture.” He also expressed confidence in NABG attracting local and foreign investments into Nigeria’s agriculture sector.

According to a survey commissioned by the ministry in 2013 to determine the challenges being faced by the agriculture sector, it was found that infrastructure posed the biggest challenge, followed by financing and supply security.

Echono said that the government is working toward removing these constraints, and asked for NABG’s help in these areas “by articulating the position of private sector agribusinesses on matters relating to policies, legal and regulatory environments.”

Are you wondering whether farming is the right career choice for you in the first place?
Join us in Lagos come 1st October.

Contrary to widespread believe, greatness is actually replicable and just anyone can make a difference if they care to know and do what it takes,

– said Isaac Oladipupo, Founder, Success Stories Africa.

Farming is a business.

Farming could be a profitable business in Nigeria, if you understand it to be a “business”.

The first problem we have about encouraging Nigerians to embrace farming is that, most people see agriculture as a very dirty thing. How did we arrive at this mindset?

Because our forefathers were subsistence farmer.

They were poor and dirty. This has made us to have a wrong conclusion about the whole concept of farming.

The good news is, farming can be a source of wealth for you. There are now many commercial farmers who are wealthy.

Farm produce will always be of high demand.

Come and Learn. October 1st.

Business world is unstable. A product that rains today may be nothing tomorrow, but farm produce is different. People must continue eating three times each day, and since we only have certain limited numbers of food, we have to eat the same foods week after week.

If you`re like me who like banana and orange, you will not resist banana or orange because you ate them yesterday. People who love water melon, carrot, beans, rice, yam, plantain, cassava products, etc. will not say, “I bought this last week, so I won`t buy again”.

Most of us eat fish or meat every day, so cow price will surely keep on increasing. Catfish must continue selling, Titus and other fish in Nigeria must continue selling. Poultry birds, chicken, turkey, etc. will always have market demand.

If you understand this fact, you`ll be encouraged to go into farming business as a Nigerian.
