People really need to work with knowledge to achieve more thus the need for training. Nigerians here who l have inspired into agriculture are making out time to learn cultivating crops that would see them living comfortable when they relocate back. 2 Likes |

Pavore9: Pls sir what do you know about the Horticulture training center in Kenya? My younger though in final year is very much interested in horticulture and from your post (and I might be wrong) I observe Kenyans have really made big strides in agriculture. Pls does this center accept foreign students esp Nigerians? I have read about the center online but additional info wld be appreciated. Thanks |
Re: Fruits And Vegetable Agribusiness Trainning by Pavore9: 11:24am On Mar 06, 2015 |
@oluks05, agriculture-wise, kenya is ahead of us. Post their website,will check it out later. l am very certain foreigners are accepted there. l believe it is a short course he wants 2 do there, getting admission will b an easy thing, no visa stress. |
Re: Fruits And Vegetable Agribusiness Trainning by jethro2: 11:54am On Mar 06, 2015 |
Pavore9:Perfectly agreed Every aspect of agriculture needs training. Practical on field training to understudy the crop one wants to deal with. Issue with us in Nigeria is we do a lot of crash programme and later start shouting. That's why the opportunity is being presented for intending and interested farmers. We need to get our hands dirty. The opportunity in agriculture is vast |
Re: Fruits And Vegetable Agribusiness Trainning by oluks05: 3:59pm On Mar 06, 2015 |
Pavore9: Thanks for the quick response, unfortunately I couldn't find their website online but this is one of the sites I read about the center. www.hortinews.co.ke/article?id=597. Thanks |

Pavore9: Hello Pavore9, please I need your assistance! I would like to move some materials from Kenya to Nigeria via air frieght, please how can I do this cheaply since the material weigh around 900 kg? How do Nigerians in kenya send cargos to Lagos! Thanks |
Re: Fruits And Vegetable Agribusiness Trainning by Pavore9: 12:38am On Mar 07, 2015 |
jeffmyson: 900kg is huge! First and foremost, l will want to believe that there is no plant in whatever you want sent down to you because if there is, you will have to obtain a permit from KEPHIS (Kenya Plant health Inspectorate Service). Sending stuff to Lagos from Nairobi has always been an issue for Nigerians here but bringing in things from Lagos to Nairobi is very easy and costs on N770/kg (freight and custom clearance). Freighting will be cheaper via Rwanda Air, Send me a mail, highlighting the nature of the materials you want air freighted so l can use it to make a detailed enquiry from Rwanda Air on Monday. |
Re: Fruits And Vegetable Agribusiness Trainning by Pavore9: 12:47am On Mar 07, 2015 |
oluks05: l know hortinews very well because l subscribe to their magazine. l will drop by their office before next week runs out as it in the Nairobi CBD and get detailed information regarding admission and fees for you. |

Pavore9: God bless u sir! Would also appreciate their contacts an email, a phone number, couldn't find their website( don't know if they have any). Thanks once again and I wld be "patiently expectant" Lol |
Re: Fruits And Vegetable Agribusiness Trainning by Pavore9: 2:26am On Mar 07, 2015 |
oluks05: You are welcome. |
Re: Fruits And Vegetable Agribusiness Trainning by jeffmyson(m): 7:23am On Mar 07, 2015 |
Pavore9: What I want to send down is 1800m2 of 200 micron greenhouse plastic cover materials. I am told it weighs approximately 900 kg! Which is bulky and would be expensive if air freighted. Can you ask rwanda air the cost of freighting this to Lagos Nigeria? Many thanks for your response and assistance. Cheers |
Re: Fruits And Vegetable Agribusiness Trainning by Pavore9: 7:34am On Mar 07, 2015 |
@jeffmyson, l suggest that as you are buying that much, you should look towards china and also shipping down to lagos via ocean freight as it would get to lagos within 2 months of leaving china. this would save you hundreds of thousand of naira. 1 Like |

tabontabon:l will surely drop all necessary information here. |
Re: Fruits And Vegetable Agribusiness Trainning by zeborsky: 8:52pm On Mar 08, 2015 |
A respond to jeffmyson,the person who told you that a 1800m2 of green house nylon cover is approximately 900kg is all a big fat lie,cos 1800m3 will give you around 360kg,and not 900kg |
Re: Fruits And Vegetable Agribusiness Trainning by oluks05: 4:08pm On Mar 12, 2015 |
Pavore9: Hello sir, pls any news on the Horticulture Training Center? Thanks |
