How do we plant a fresh/red nut of palm-oil?

I am not sure what you are asking.

MIKOLOWISKA:
how much did you get d digester and presser

Not sure I remember now. But they should be around 100k

phoenixlor:
what type of fertiliser do you use to fertilize your palm trees.

I used fertilizers last year and it was the variety that help fruiting.
I used urea for the new trees to help with growth.
The best part is that I rotate where the cows rest for the nights and the cow dung provide the best fertilizer yet.

I am looking for a person who knows how to make wooden bridge. Bridge will be strong enough to withstand people walking across or riding motorcycle.
Stream is about 50m across.
Please email me oog6652@gmail.com
See map below, the line in red is the stream.
Location is around Oke Odan, Ogun State.

This is good work sir, I'm multivated about this and I will join in this business by next year by God grace. I'm planning to plant super gene species which procedure within 22 to 24months. And has over 22 to 26 bunch per tree. It will be more profitable if u go for it next time of your planting.

Good idea. Where do they sell that super gene specie?
I’ll be planting again later next year.

Another question is, what is the conversion ratio of 1 FFB to palm and palm kernel oil? On average

I dont know. will have to research that

Your comments and recommendation cannot be overlooked. Bro, I know you are forced to make this comment because the assumptions are logical. You know within yourself that if the issues aren't addressed, this farm might not get interested people on this platform. Or might get responses from just some casual people. And since I do not write to destroy the reputation of anyone, i will make some comments. But I think you would have made a better judgement than the owner.

I hope you understand me clearly sir.

All the information I have provided are just enough. Further info will be provided to anyone who shows interest. oog6652@gmail.com.

Like I wrote in my ad, passion for farming is my number 1 requirement.

fluentinfor:


How do you ever think I can be interested anymore? Lol. The questions and assumptions I raised here are what your staff will explain to me when you the assumed owner cannot. Come on!


A beg. I dey move away from your thread of offer. No more comment from me. No matter what your response to this post is, I will not make a single comment anymore. I just pray Nigerians shine their eyes "well well" before we hear another story here.

Blessings!

You seem to be an intelligent fellow. Especially since you are able to articulate your thoughts very well.
I choose not to address your assumptions.
I will just state that; the farm is not efficiently run at the moment, because I am running it from out of the country. Secondly, all in my advert are correct and whomever i choose to run this farm will ultimately agree it's a good deal.

RedGold2017:
Can spraying farm with pesticides/chemicals to kill weed kill the palm trees?

We have cows in the farm, they eat much of the weed/grasses.
But generally, the palm trees may not be hurt by pesticides.

fluentinfor:


The right thing to do is point out the assumptions, separate them from questions and attend to them very well. I do not think the state of the road will be known with latitudes and longitudes. From experience, this is what always happen. And I think anyone who wants to look into it will take note of all i have written.

Every genuine seller or offerer who is hiding nothing will attend to all points raised. Will show the assumptions are wrong and answer all questions very well

Like I said, i will be the one to interrogate you.

I wish anyone going into it best of luck. That you want to rent it out tells me many things are wrong and you have just confirmed it.

No problem. Nagode!

If you are interested, schedule a time and my staff will take you visit the farm and you can ask all question you want.

fluentinfor:


The reason for doing this looks reasonable at first but there are more to it. Also, I think you need to change your heading.

A rented farm is one whereby monthly, yearly or whatever period charges is paid. So, I do not think your offer is a rent. A rentage contract is the same as a lease contract.

In your case, you want monthly loyalty and I think it is partnership you are looking for. But there are points I am going to highlight here that make me have a deep thought about this your juicy offer. I really do not see it juicy until you address these issues well. They are:

1. You listed two motorbikes as your part of your assets. Does it mean your farm road is not good? And it is palm oil one has to move out. Also, there are other by-products which are heavy and are large volumes which should give more profit. I am trying to get it if it is motorbikes which will be moving them out at some periods of the year like rainy season when the road might be extremely terrible. Though, you have a truck but having two bikes is saying something to me. In short, how good the road leading to your farm is vital. And how far your farm is to the major road is vital too. If it is not good, no matter the paradize you have on your farm, it is absolutely not juicy. And you need to really be flexible with your offer.

2. Your trees are producing just 2,500 liters per annum now and you want monthly loyalty. How do you want this new guy do it? And to crown it, you are offering 2 years contract. Though, you said can be renewed. And which means it can be terminated too anytime. You and I know that it is after that 2 years you have given that production starts getting better. Come on! Can you leave the farm and let the guy continue for the next 10 years or more? Will you not kick him out after 4 years? After he has done the hard part for you? Death is a debt we all have to pay. I am not saying you are going to die now but will you include it in your will that the person must continue production after your departure? Won't your children kick his ass out later? Even it is after 15 years the business is really good. This is a long term business mehn! So, it is like you want someone else to come in and do the hard part for you while you lay claim of the farm when it is really profitable later. And then, distance will not be a barrier again. It seems so to me. Please address this very well.

3. The 8 acres you talked about must still be a thick forest. Seriously, the cost of buying that land is cheaper than clearing it and you and I know very well. If stumps must be removed, the cost of clearing is higher than the cost of buying the land. So, do you not see it as an investment the new guy is making on your farm too? I tell anyone I want to use his farm straight. I am helping you to clear your land which is huge investment. If you have the capital, you would have cleared it and then tell me to just come cultivate and pay rent. So, many times, it is why i just leave stumps and go through the pain of using cutlasses and axe clearing system (very painful exercise and not efficient) and I will deliberately leave many big stumps so that it discourages the owner from layimg claim to it after i have spent so much on clearimg it. Once owners see their land has been cleared well, they always do not want to renew contracts. But it is bad for our agricultural system. So, please do you see that it is not so juicy? Please, address this issue too.

4. To install 5kva generator to produce just 2,500 liters per annum now is funny ooo. Might be, it would have been better you send your fruits to mills instead of doing it now and wait till you have enough fruits that will make sense with the capacity of factory you have now. It means, you just need to run at loss for like 6 years or more before you start making profit. I think you did not consult an expert before setting up. Or the expert was just interested in selling you equipments and you fell for it. It is what I am seeing happenimg here again. Except you can convince me that 2,500 liters will cover the cost of production and give reasonable profit to the extent of you collecting monthly loyalty. You may need to run figures here. You see why I said I will interrogate you.

4. I do not see long distance to farm as you claimed as the real barrier here; though, i kinda accepted it in my first paragraph. I think the business is not just profitable now.

5. There is no way anyone can make your farm be exactly the way you released it. There must be wear and tear. So, i might not be able to sign for doing repairs and other stuff if it has to do with wear and tear.

6. The person coming in will spend so much to make it profitable and it is the truth.

Recommendation:
1. I think you need to accept the fact that the business is still not profitable and what you should do is write it out explicitly the challenges and look for partners or investors that can make it work well since it seems you need more fund to get on. You have really tried I must confess.

2. What you need now is to do short term crops so you can make money. And it is vegetables, herbs or spices you should do. The choice of veggie must be looked into well since it seems the road to your farm is not good.

You have really tried. I salute your courage to go into such long term investment. You are a real risk taker. The only area you left out is creating short term business on your farm to give you income while your palm trees are getting ready to make you rich.

So, I think I am the one giving you free advice (consultation). And it makes my service to you extremely juicy

Your points are well taken.
However, you have made too many incorrect assumptions.
I request questions and not assumptions.
I supplied a coordinate and any interested person will plot that on a map and make a decision.
I will form a relationship with whoever i find best fit to run the farm.
Farm is simply not efficiently run at this time for the reason of proximity of my location.

fluentinfor:
I am just curious why you are renting out the place to a passionate person you will interview. Are you saying you are not passionate enough to make it a profitable business? And maybe it was profitable but something else came up.

I may be interested but instead of you conducting interview for me, i will be the one to interogate (not interview) you. Why will I just want to rush and rent a farm with such facilities? The owner wanted to do real farming but something happened which i want to know. Just rushing to rent the so called juicy offer is.....

I will want to know why you are renting it out. Did you fail or what? Just curious to know. Perhaps you need real help to make it work for you. If it is still neat and not delapiated, why do you want to rent it out?

You may need to ask advice on how to make your farm profitable and run it well.

If it is a case whereby you are relocating elsewhere, there may still be options. I am just curious to know the details.

I think it's juicy because i am not asking any money from anyone.
And to answer your question about why. The reason is my residence at the moment is reasonably distant that I cant efficiently run the farm. I have done it for these times and found out it is not effective.
Let me know if you have any question

When you say 20kegs, how many liters? is 1.5,2.5,5 or 20 liters

Each keg contains approximately 30 Liters of Palm Oil.
Does that answer you question?

kagari:


Pictures would be much appreciated

Since you are the producer I believe selling at 10000 you would sell faster, on the average ,oil 25 ltrs is 12000.

Just an advice

10k is not OK. Thanks
I produce into plastic drums but will dispense into the yellow kegs.

popoolaRofiat:
please price of 25litres in ikorodu pls help a housemate

I have 20 kegs of palm oil @12K.
No additives, was made in my farm if anyone is interested.
