Im making arrangement to buy kernel at NIFOR in August to raise against next year. How much can 300 palm trees will be generating for me annually after 4yrs and how many tones kernel can i get from it yearly.

@Enochadem. Your suggestions/imaginations are correct and OK. But with my experience not that economical to follow.
I can tell you categorically here that 70% workers of Okomu and Presco are contract/adhoc staff. Even NIFOR have more contract harvesters, maintenance (clearing) staffers than permanent.
Major reason is that that Oil-Palm plantation is seasonal agribusiness. You need more hands in harvesting during the season and no need need in keeping them when the bunches are less. If you have a mature and producing plantation, your slashing schedule won't be more than 4 times in a year which you can hire people to do within those periods rather than keeping monthly workers that will be asking for salary for complete a year and also they will be asking for increment all the time.
If your farm is well located the permanent workers needed are:
Farm Supervisor or Manager
Security (ies)
Operator(s) (if mechanized).

Hire others.
Personal opinion though but from experience.

“ Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!” – New Testament (Matthew 7:21-23)
A pastor, Solomon Oladimeji, who is founder of Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Orisun-Ayo, with branches at Alapere, Ketu, and Odogunyan in Ikorodu area of Lagos, has confessed to being a member of the Ogboni confraternity.
Oladimeji, 65, says that there is no stigma that should be associated with the cult which is rumoured to be a gathering of evil doers by most Nigerians.
In this interview with SUN, Oladimeji, who is also a member of the Christian Association of Nigeria talks about blood sacrifices, charms and his views on the misconceptions of practising Christians in Nigeria.
Excerpts:
When did you become a member of the Ogboni , and what were the cir­cumstances that prompted you to be a member?
Although, my journey as shepherd for Jesus Christ’s flock is over 40 years, I became a member of theOgboni society over 20 years ago. Initially, I was initiated into the Aborigine Ogboni fraternity, that is the one they call Ogboni Ibile , but later I ed Saala Ogboni fraternity, and since I made that decision, I have no regret.
As a member of Ogboni fraternity, my life is having a meaning. I have prospered. My coast has been enlarged. of my congregation are increasing everyday. I also thank God that due to my diligence as a committed member, I have been able to rise to the enviable position of Oluwo within the Ogboni fraternity.
Are your , that is of your church aware that you belong to Ogboni fraternity?
What is there to be hidden? I am not ashamed of my association with Ogboni Society, and I don’t hide it from of my church. They all know that I’m a leader in the Ogboni group. When you even come to my house, I openly display my regalia as Ogboni chief. Let me quickly tell you this, by making my know that I’m Ogboni member, it makes me popular among them. They describe me as an open and honest person. For that, many of them have been voluntarily coming to me pleading to be initiated as a member of Ogboni fraternity.
Some people would think that you use charms on them?
Why should I use charm on them or to charm them as some people will say? God forbid. I’m a child of light; darkness or anything evil has no place in my life or church. Your member will like you, when they know that the power you are using to solve their problems is power from Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour. I have never committed evil in my life and I will never do so till the day my Lord calls me home.
Are you saying that charm doesn’t exist?
No. I’m not saying so. Charms do exist, but it depends on how you use it. I used herbs and leaves combined with other items to prepare soap, anointing oil for and other people that are having spiritual problems.
It is unfortunate that today a lot of Christians are suffering out of ignorance. You see some saying it is what my pastor or what my prophet tells me I believe. I will never use any soap, cream, oil by just any minister of God, but only if those know what those pastors are doing.
Some of these pastors and prophets come to people like me to acquire power to perform miracle and wonders. Some of them are even Ogboni like me. But they are hypocrites. I will never deny somebody who is my benefactor, and that is why you see me wearing and displaying beads and other items being used by Ogboni fraternity. To me, what matters again is saving life, and it doesn’t matter where you get saved whether it is in the house of babalawo or any juju priest. We are all calling on the name of the same God.
In my neighbourhood, both at Alapere and Odogunyan, many residents know me both as a cleric andOgboni leader. In fact, Baale of Odogunyan, that is the community leader, knows me as the Oluwo ofSaala Ogboni . I’m highly respected in the community. I ed the Ogboni fraternity because I like their ways of life. They are decent people. Contrary to misconception some people have about Ogboni , that we are evil people. Far from it, rather I will say that Ogboni are not only children of Light, but we are also messengers of the Most High God because, we don’t kill but only save lives.
But some people believe that Ogboni is evil, and that it is an evil asso­ciation condemned by the Bible.
Those who say so are ignorant. They have been brainwashed by our colonial masters. But thank God, we are now in a different era, and we can all be reading the Bible without relying or depending on what the imperialist swould want us to believe in order to suit their own purpose. Some will tell you that Ogboni is evil because they use juju, they still carry out sacrifices of various forms by shedding blood of animals, and birds. Some even out of ignorance say we eat human flesh. Rubbish. May Almighty God forgive our traducers.
If you are talking about sacrifice, where did the Bible condemn sacrifice? Let our accs point it out either in the old or the New Testament. Throughout my years at the seminary and the Bible school, I never come across such.
Then the sacrifice you are talking about, on several occasion especially in the Old Testament, sacrifices were carried out to atone for the sins of the Israelites.
It was also often carried out when the children of Israel were looking for one favour or another.
But coming down to the New Testament, don’t mind those confusionists who say that Jesus Christ, my own Lord and Saviour condemns sacrifice, what a big lie. If you can still when Jesus Christ himself was born the day His parents Joseph and Mary were taking Him to the Synagogue, Joseph has to sacrifice doves, and pigeon. He took the birds to the church. You can read in the book of Matthew and Luke.
So, if the parents of Jesus, my Master, the Author and Finisher of my Faith were involved in sacrifice, why would I say I want to distance myself from such?
Again, they accused us pastors of asking some people that have problems to go and bathe in a running stream, what is wrong with that, did such not happen in the Bible? Have we forgotten the story of Naman, the Syrian Army General who had leprosy and was looking for a cure, how Prophet Elisha asked him to go bathe inside River Jordan, and Naman was healed after complying with the prophet’s instruction, and this is why I said some people are dying due to ignorance.
Sacrifice is biblically ordained. I sacrificed animals and birds to offer prayers to cure and heal people of their ailments.
When I pray for you and it is revealed to me that I should kill duck, cow or even goat to offer prayers for you, I will tell you to make available such animals for sacrifice, and the moment we do that, you receive your healing.
When I kill fowl, goat, duck or even cow for sacrifice to heal somebody, I have not in any way transgressed. I’m only doing the will of Jesus Christ, who is my personal Lord and Saviour. Whatever is outside the Bible, you will never see me doing it.
Even in the book of Revelation, the use of leaves and herbs was recommended for healing. And for those who describe Ogboni fraternity as a cult, this is wrong. Ogboni is a society. We are transparent and honest people. Ogboni abhors evil. We are organized and disciplined. A cult is a group of people involved in secrecy, we are open to scrutiny. Let those who out of hearsay say evil about Ogboni be bold and come to our meeting and see whether it is true that we drink blood.
All those pastors saying rubbish about Ogboni are doing so to attract hip.
You say you sacrifice animals, if that is what is needed for someone’s prayers to be answered, but the Bible says Jesus has done that by His death, are you not going against the Bible?
Far from it! Whatever I do as Ogboni Pastor is biblically ordained and inspired. If you read your New Testament very well, Apostle Paul who is regarded as one of the most dynamic evangelists of his era says that without shedding blood, that there is no redemption. Am I the one that put that in the Bible? Even when Jesus Christ was about to be dedicated, His parents, Joseph and Mary took pigeons and doves to the church which were slaughtered as a sacrifice.
You also read in several other places both in the Old and New Testament where blood sacrifice took place. You the case of Cain and Abel. I even read Bible before I carry out this killing of animals as sacrifice in order to save souls.
Ezk 13:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the Lord GOD.

Pertaining land acquisition, try interior/rural areas of states like Akwa-Ibom, Edo, Ondo, Osun etc.

@Gameorchard, to set up? How do you want it? List out your preparation.

It my pleasure to be here and appreciate all here too. May God bless the OP: okine4real and other ogas in the house, this thread has been a blessing reference to some of us and through this thread I have visited many farms for on-the-spot assessments, advises, recommendations etc. I have gotten many calls. Many thanks to our people in the diasporas who are having their farm projects here in Nigeria, I appreciate your courage.
To be candid some people have interest in this agribusiness and have invested "biggerly" but they are missing it and wasting resources (I have seen a lot), all because "they are not playing the game according to the rules".
Please try to separate business from hubby, experiment/research, and also create a distinct line between business and family/friend. Let business be strictly business.
Thanks all.

You can leave any stand that is out of your mark prior to time yours will reach flowering stage. At least to gain while still tilling but don't be carried away.

Obaneh:
Folks, I am negotiating the purchase of about 5 hectres somewhere in Ogun state, I have gone to inspect and observed that the land is frought with wild Palm trees.

My question is, will they affect the hybrid that I plan to get from Nifor? Should i fell them or leave them? The villager advised that he could get someone to work on it, earn some money from them before mine begins to yield.

I need your informed opinions please?

Senator Ben Murray-Bruce is bruised
and this
time he wants you guys to see how
far he has
gone to GrowTheNaira.
He thinks we are fooling ourselves
by blaming the
government for our woes.
See His CommonSense rants below:
Many Nigerians are complaining
about the
constant fall in the value of the Naira
and they
blame the Government.
But is the government really to
blame? In truth,
our insatiable appetite for all things
foreign is to
blame.
I always fly Arik Business Class
whenever I am
traveling abroad except
Arik does not fly on that route.
Not only is an Arik ticket a fraction
of the cost of
a British Airways ticket, but the
money I pay to
Arik circulates in Nigeria and helps
firm up the
Naira’s value.
As I speak to you today, a British
Airways
Business to London is ₦2,103,666
while Arik
Business is ₦551,545 yet our elite
still fly BA. But
though Arik offers an affordable
alternative to
British Airways and other foreign
airlines, our big
men prefer to pay double what Arik
charges to BA
and other foreign airlines for the
same services
and yet they complain about the
value of the
Naira.
I have Nasco cornflakes and I have
eaten Kellogs
cornflakes. In of nutrition and
taste they
are almost indistinguishable. Yet our
elite who
will rather eat Kellogs than Nasco
cornflakes,
wonder why the Naira is falling!
Even something like Quaker Oats can
be
substituted with corn meal known
locally as pap.
Obasanjo Farms of Nigeria and other
large scale
poultry farms have the capacity to
provide
chicken for the entire nation. Since
that is the
case, why are we even buying
imported chicken?
In fact what is wrong if every family
in Nigeria
has a poultry in their backyard to
give them eggs
and meat?
My steward went to Makoko, which
is one of the
largest fishing communities in
Lagos. He wanted
to buy fish and they were selling
imported frozen
fish!
Yet in the very waters in front of
them, there exist
fresh fish that is more nutritious
than the cheap
frozen fish they were selling.
We keep spending over 1 Billion
Naira importing
rice when our own farmers are
capable of
meeting our national demand for
rice. But for
some reason, Nigerians just prefer to
buy
imported rice.
The imported rice we buy in Nigeria
is not as
good as our local rice because it has
been stored
for years in silos and treated with
chemicals.
Moreover, every time you buy it,
your money is
going out of Nigeria to service an
economy in
Asia. The end result is that their
currency gains
value while ours loses value.
Have you ever wondered why
European
Premiership Clubs are so interested
in Nigeria? It
is because Nigerians spend billions
traveling to
Europe to watch their games, buy
their
merchandise and promote their
leagues.
Yet, back at home, we would not be
caught dead
watching our own local league.
If we will not spend money on made
in Nigeria
goods and services, how can we
expect our Naira
to hold its value and appreciate?
Obviously we can not cut ourselves
off from the
world. No nation is an island, but at
least we can
fly Nigerian airlines, eat locally
produced food and
patronize our football league.
If we do this, not only will our
economy grow and
produce jobs for Nigerians, it will
also make our
goods and services improve in value
such that
they will be attractive enough to be
imported.
I bought Innoson vehicles as official
cars for my
staff. I have never lived to regret it
one day. They
are comfortable and durable. But
most of all, I
know that my purchase helps to keep
jobs in
Nigeria and improve the value of the
Naira.
I urge you to do the same. We have
no other
country but Nigeria and it is you and
I that will
make it what it is. If we buy Naija
We Will Grow
Naira
My name is Ben Murray-Bruce and I
just want to
make Commonsense!

All in all engage professional in this aspect.
Any mistake now will jeopardize the aim of this agribusiness.

For the new oil-palm plantation entrants, your land preparation suppose to ready by now if not the earlier the better. Don't be deterred by delay in rainfall or prolonged dry season.
Do the booking for your seedlings now to avoid unnecessary rush and other things.
To my clients on this thread, please adhere strictly to the advice given...Play the GAME according to the RULES......
Thanks to the OP and other commentators here.
Special appreciation to my clients on this thread, thanks for the trust and thanks for your patronage.

I can say yes provided you are true to yourself. All States that are climatically OK for oil-palm development ( mostly South West, South South and South East states) are supplied sprouted seeds for proper nursery at a subsidised price by FG (Min of Agric.) so as to ease the procurement of better seedlings by the farmers.
But anyhow na Nigeria we dey o.......

I can say yes

I don't believe it is Esogban that made this statement. Because it in Benin that 'Oba' is alien as title. Their leader's title before Oranmiyan was 'Ogiso'. The first person to be titled Oba was Oranmiyan.
I am here to talk story and narrate history.
I believe this post is from somebody that has no better record about Benin and Yoruba.....
To know more ask Iyogbe and Benin Palace people.
Peace peace peace.

@boyisfine, I am not sure of getting seedlings of such age but my candid advice is that make sure your seedlings come from NIFOR source: either NIFOR direct or State ADPs or NIFOR accredited agents.... Anything out of these, the visible 'result' is next four or five or more years. And at that time, it may be regretful... God forbid...

Hi OP

interested: tjconcepts@hotmail. com

The house is somehow cold. I believe the main reason is that our people are now on the farm preparing for new season.
The best time to prepare your new plantation is now.
"A stitch in time saves nine"
Those that have established plantations, this is time, you suppose to be through with your "fire tracing" by now. Do your pruning.
Sales of all palm products have being overwhelming this period.
See you all at the TOP.
