Did you know that snails are the most prolific livestock animal producing morethan 150 eggs at a time in one clutch? It’s also the livestock that requires less stress in breeding them. You can buy a baby snail for less than N30 and make more than N200 as profit on such snail when it reaches table size. The prolific aspect is that you can decide to breed 4 snails and before a year runs out you will have more than a thousand snails in your snail farm. Though their is a kind of spechie that produce this amount of eggs at a time twice in a year. It is called Achtina achatina, capable of producing 300 eggs in a clutch. If you can produce at least 30, 000 snails that sells @N50 each (whole sale price) table size you will be making N1,500,000 in one season. Snail also does not require money to buy their foods as it is naturally available. You may be wondering how you are going to setup the business.

Farming is yet to get saturated so no matter ur sector, u can hardly meet target that's why we need to encourage the youths to get busy and forget about the white collar job that's if the have the oppurtunity To me, land(space) is the biggest challenge in agriculture and not fund.

FarmTech:my brother I engage village women who charge 600 naira per wheel barrow and they peel with knives. it took almost 4 days for me to process 3 tons of cassava to finish product. the labour cost is mind blowing. that's why I am looking for a small scale peeler that can peel at even 90% efficient rate but I am yet to get one. I got something from futa akure back then but I realised after installation that it's crap, the village women is way faster than the machine and it chop the cassava tuber thereby wasting it and on top of that I 've to fuel it. brother it's a very long story. 1 Like |

Re: Anambra Farmers, Let's Meet Here by Buchika: 3:11am On Aug 06, 2014 |
FarmTech:bro I 've seen all those contraption, apart from that thing that looks like knife non of the so called machine is workable. I have visited and searched all over Nigeria and online also for a peeler, gone to all the agricultural research institute in Nigeria there is none. remember I am still a small scale processor and I am looking for something to give me like 2-3 tons per hour. I saw something I believe that's workable on the internet from Brazil but it's something I can't afford cos the capacity is very high. |
Re: Anambra Farmers, Let's Meet Here by Buchika: 3:40am On Aug 06, 2014 |
as an experienced cassava farmer my advice to anyone who want s to go into commercial cassava farming is make sure your farmland is tractorable that's it's well destumped, minimise manual labour to the least possible, make sure your farmland access is motorable, be friendly with your state ADP extensions officers, know your market target, if it's only for garri, cultivate the best local variety, but if it's for starch go for all these TME419 or IITA improved variety. if you want to process commercial also and you don't have an efficient peeling system forget it you won't make it. the reason village women makes profit is they do all the processing themselves they pay no one from uprooting to frying, they pay only for grating and pressing which is very very insignificant. 1 Like |

@ Buchika, very good advise but there is a way out to processing, why not employ two staff on monthly salary who will help in the processing work , get staff who can peel & fry Can the house brainstorm on the way out or visit some small scale firm to find out how they manage it. |
