yankison:


Where can I get seedling please and how many months does it take tomatoes from seedling to harvest . .I will do it on my half plot for consumption

you will need to research that in your City, total life cycle of tomato is 5-6 months if it doesn't sick, and you will start harvesting from 85 days if everything is normal.

Pls is this the craze Mr akinloye is selling 22k, 18k, 12k each ..and all farmers in the house .. God why did I waste my money on goats ..

smile... you must think it is Rosy the way I update . It is tedious, stressful and capital intensive. You may not even see meaningful result in your first planting. Research ( theory and physical) very well sir!

That's it.

Farmerakinloye6:
hope you know price depends on quality and fullness? Some grade also go for like 5-6k here. If Ogun price is not encouraging why not move to Lagos?

They wont say anything about the quality of the fruit, they just want to make more money than the farmer, Lagos is better only transport is the main issue

If you're moving it to Mile 12 this season, you need to pray for the best while expecting the worst because by the time market agents and transporters start their deduction, you'll feel cheated.

When Cobra was selling for #12k per crate in my locality at Ogun State, I decided to test Mile 12 with 3crates. After transport (#1k per crate) and agent fee deductions, they sent me #20,185 for the 3crates when I would have gotten 36k for same number of crates if sold in my locality.

I don't trust Mile 12 market.

Haa May God help us

Ok as a first timer ..I really don't know anything abt tomatoes ..wud u advice pepper ? Is pepper less stressful ?/

Oyinlekan, can we in Ogun State form a working cluster for onward transportation to Lagos. Like have a day of harvest in the week, we all meet at a location in Abeokuta or kobape and load unto a bus or cabstar. And we all share the cost of transportation to Lagos. That's how trucks are load in the north or iseyin.

To back his submission on sales in Ogun State, even GRADE A and full crate to the top, na nonsense price they go pay.

This is another fear and problem of mile 12. God is able.

Spacing, plant population, day length, management, climatic and edaphic factors to a large extent determines yield.

2nd Quarter of this year, I got 74 crates on 3 plots with 2,000m drip tape (Cobra 26F1). Although there was some compromise on management, we hope to do better with subsequent batches.

Sold Cobra 14.5k, plantinum 11k this morning..

Took only Cobra to market today Sunday..sold 16k flat!

Since January this year I have been a follower of this thread. I have read and gain a lot. Now it's timd to try something with what I have gained so far. I bought some fresh tomatoes and extracted the seed, I did the nursery and transplanting on October 1st 2023. I know a lot of people are going to laugh me for not buying hybrid seed, but there is no harm in trying. I have transplanted 150 stand, i will transplant 100-150 more by next week
