hey Attit , This is the first time opening the agriculture tend on Nairaland and im glad i did, We are planing a Massive project in Nigeria very soon by ending of 2022, We are planing to open the biggest tomatoes processing plant in Nigeria to process about 7 million MT annually,this will depend on our sale of cotton bale to raise the capital because we are not depending on any government or anything.
You will ask yourself , how will they planing to achieve 7 million mt annually is not even possible ,where will they get the tomatoes .. Well let me give you a peak of it , We will own our farm of 250,000 hectare or 200,000 acre depends where we are able to get lease. We own our nursing facility, the nursing green house facility , from there to the land ,after harvest to the processing plant. For quality assurance purpose .
Why im writing you , i see you have good knowledge about the project , When we are ready middle of next year , i will like to invite you on board and see how we could do this...We want do the wheat , rice and tomatoes plant,....

Actually, I made serious research on Open Pollinated Varieties cos I was tired of the Roma hybrids. Padma, Cobra and the rest are exactly in this category in my opinion. It's just that these new ones are so improved. But they arent going to make OPV again. Do not get me wrong, these varieties are not bad. Cobra is the standard producers want to beat.
30,000 crops on an acre is a lot of work. While they are OK, but trust me, I always look for very easy way to get my job job. And managing 30 000 crops is not one.
Why would you spend 30 days on nursery, 75 to 80 days before your first harvest. That's 105 to 115 days. And you habe for just 21 to 30 days and that's it. Yield will not be so much.
The truth is that tomatoes are meant to be harvested for long. The first sets of tomatoes can be harvested for more than 10 months. So, you can imagine. And why would you stake when you arr harvesting for just 21 to 30 days. It doesn't just make sense to me. But producers must sell..
30 000 plants take twice fertilizer of what 15,000 take. Twice water for irrigation, twice fuel, twice energy for transplanting, twice time for transplanting, twice time and energy for fertilizer application, twice energy for staking, Twice everything.
Yet, they have short term harvest. Wow! Meanwhile there are ones which are 30 days nursery, 65 to 70 days before harvesting, and then you can harvest on open field for up to 5 months. What will make it last long is infection.
I'm going to be honest with you. 35C temp and having 30 000 crops on ha cannot get you 100,000 kg yield. Of course ifs logical the way the manufactuer explained it, but ig is not possible. I just need to be honest with you. 50 tons is great.
His grandfather was the one that betray the then oba of benin , in the 1889 invasion of the British,the could not conquer the kingdom but the grandfather remove the charm so they could captured because the british promise to make him KING , they were a slave brought to the kingdom, The family are know to be a betrayal family , even Oshiobaba was warn about him but he didnt listen
zukky79: The desperation of Obaseki and his co-travellers in their bid to hijack the PDP structure in Edo is becoming alarming. What they tried and failed in Edo APC is playing out again. I hope PDP survives their onslaught.
dont think so , i think it could be proanounce the president next year like 2 month for buhari government to be over, i think is well calculated game for A Northern to remain in power
SonofDevil: Now i know reason why atiku cant win election the guy is a moronic clown with no direction. Come 2023 APC will still teach him the art of politics. 70 year mumu man
You think is by doing it on Public forum , I dont need to show you proof of bank statement,I use escrow system , I paid full money on it before it start,
talk2hb1: I dey serious, except maybe I am too serious. One more thing in case you share your budget with me, I need your statement of account to proof I did get paid Don't take it personal though.
after 1 year, when we were saying it then , they think we were lying , the man is a disaster
athaboi: This man seem to be disappointing after all the Edo no be Lagos they did for him, no commissioner for how many months now, no single project nor policy on ground. Nigeria leaders are cursed
did you even know my budget , you are just assuming
talk2hb1: My point still remains, how are you so sure its a 30days task? Will your budget be able to compensate for the tight schedule? Because I assumed you have a tight timeline, which is fine. But you can't have tight schedule and have tight budget too, that will lead to a big disaster. Ask a competent project manager with coding background.
