I have 10 acres of land at Fidiwo Ogun state to lease out for farming. If there’s any individual or corporate entity. Please reach and sorry for the OP for derailing this post.

AyeMoJuba:


I knew that figure can't be right because even my expenses rough estimation is over 200k...so how will a farm I spent over 200k to cultivate bring out a paltry sum of 200k?

A whole years job?

I was just laughing when I saw that

At worst u can get 3m if u sell it raw especially in oyostate but space &weedcontrol matter

Lovit:


Also if you can, fence the whole acre of cassava farm, This advise is from a farmer recently attacked by Fulani Herdsmen/bandits

I have solution for this... You don't need to fence your 20 plots.

NET PROFIT.

NOT GROSS INCOME.

If You Need Any Farm Land in Ijebu ode, more Than 20 acres Farmland for sale with good tittle at a Reasonable price. Kindly quote me

That's huge sums of money there bro.

Make sure fulani and their cow restricted from the farm first, then we can tell u how much u can generate after u finally succeeded.

Nigerfine3:
I am a cassava farmer ( through my bro), things are getting more expensive. Last year tractor work was about 25k per acre, now they are projecting 40k to 45 k per acre. Currently, 3 acres cassava will generate up to 3 million naira, while the profit will be up to 2 million naira.

Ok.

This is the most trusted response.
It has good details which someone can easily relate with.

AyeMoJuba:
I'd like to go into Cassava farming. I have about 20 plots of land which is 2 plots above 3 acres

pls those who are already into this business, kindly share your experiences and the things i should know.

Thanks

Whatever you decide, pls carry the thread along

2.6 up.

Last year when the cassava wasn't that expensive my younger brother's 1 acre gave him 5 something and now that the cassava is now expensive

If not for Fulani saboteurs,farming is good!

The useless set of people (Fulanis) will descend on your farm when it's time to harvest with their useless cows.

In a Year?


For every harvest at maturity, an acre will give on average, 7.5 tonnes

Sha remove money for ransome put for corner

Fence ke...a whole 20 plots of land?

The whole profit from 1 year cultivation of the cassava won't be sufficient to erect fence o

TaaaaAAA....

Not In Cross River State.

The Fulanis Can Only Operate In Communities With Zero Unity.

Them Go Fit Near Cross River ?

Sounds better.
You don't expect someone to spend one year cultivating a crop and ends up making 600k profit on 3 acres... it's a spoiler.

You don't spend up to i year tending cassava farm of just 3 acres.
Its not like poultry business that you need to feed your birds everyday.
After land preparation, planting and maybe apply pre-emergence herbicide, you only need to weed once or twice before harvest. You might also need to apply fertilize once if the land so demands.

To the question, how much you can make varies widely. Depending on so much factors. From soil fertility, weed management (very, very important @ the first 3-4months), and I'm sure you know the price of cassava fluctuates widely. You could have asked of the yeild rather than how much.

I used to be a full time cassava farmer before.
I have said it before here on Nairaland that if the issues of herdsmen is resolved today, I am ready to resign from the govt job and go back to farming.

Where Did You Farmed Your Cassava That Resulted To The Herdsmen Disturbing You?

Once you wanna start to plant, peg the whole land and line the pegs.

The spacing depends on how fertile the land or it level of Virginity.

If it is land that has no cultivation history and it is of Humus-Sandyb soil, 3ft by 3ft or 3ft by 4ft max is okay.

Now, to ensure good yield, DO NOT SLANT THE STEMS INTO THE SOIL.

Patiently dig downnupto 6inches in the soil, the length of the stem in your hand and place the whole body flat in the dug up space.

This ensure multiple points baby stems sprouting. And the more of that, the quicker and Bigger your harvest would be. I am speaking Authoritatively here Bro because IT IS WHAT I AM DOING ACTIVELY.

THE BEST STEM IS A NEWLY HARVESTED ONE!!!

Haa, this makes harvest maturity EXTREMLY faster and bouyant!!

Let's do the math, we have 2.5 acre in 1 hectare, if we plant using 1m by 1m configuration, we will have 10,000 stands, but I will advice you to use 0.9m by 0.9m to get 12,300 stands. If you follow good Agronomic practice, you can have 3kg yield per stand. 3kg * 12300.... 36900kg.

We have 1000kg in 1 tonne, so 36900kg divided by 1000kg will be 36.9 tonnes

Going by the current price in the market, 1 tonne of fresh cassava tuber is #65,000, that give us...... #2,398,5000

Thanks

Hmmm

Knowing do much about the cultivation should still be enuf for you to give a rough estimation
Even if all the factors you stated above are met, it'd still be difficult to fix an accurate profit figure.... All I ask is a rough estimation...the least that can be made
So my question still stand. If I need to know how much yield from the 3 acres, I'll ask.

TME419 is Good.

It Has Less Cyanide. And It is What is Being used to produce Custard.

I also have a company in Ondo State That Can Buy Over 30 Tonnes of TME419 Variety When You Convey Them To Their Company.

is it cassava they use in producing custard?

I am assuming this is just for the cassava. it should be more if you process into garri

Maize and TME419 Cassava Varieties Are Used.

Do You Mean That People Should Stop Planting Like This Below:

I just started mine, too.
I’ve acquired 20 acres for 10 years at #400k
But my intention is to use the money I earmarked to it to the full extent it will go on the land.
I want to make sure it enters 10 acres and I can expand later when I get more money.
The labor will cost money. The guy I brought from Togo is asking for a brand new Bajaj motorcycle after a year.
But he will be the one taking care of the farm while I provide food and shelter close to the farm. That has been sorted.


My plan is to process it to garri, elubo, lafu, pupuru and even fufu.
I pray God help me o
I’ll still create a thread on the progress made.

excanny:


times 3. 200k/acre. Net profit.

If you guys don't have information, keep quiet.
