LocalFARMERS:
After making this video last year, With hope that I will have a bountiful harvest. Few weeks later, there was a Ginger disease outbreak in Kaduna. This disease affected over 95% of the Ginger farms within and outside Kaduna State.

Today, a bag of Ginger is over 600k. So many people couldn't farm Ginger this year, because the seedlings was scarce. Ginger farmers usually keep aside their seedlings after every harvest.

Ginger is a major cash crop in Southern Kaduna. Some people have build Duplex, buy lands, Cars and travel abroad with the money they made from Ginger farming in Kaduna.

oh sorry for the loss.

LocalFARMERS:


Thanks Bro.
As a farmer, this is not new. While we enjoy bountiful harvest most years, a particular year will come with bad news. Like this year, some Farmers are having a bad times due to flood.

But we always go e God the glory for everything.

Sorry for your loss brother. It's saddened to see one's expectations dashed.

Please, can you give me free tutor on how to cultivate ginger successfully especially in Southwest?

I am based in Akure to be precise.

Your efforts shall never be in vain bro. Take heart. Can I still plant ginger in this month or October?

More money will come next harvest

There is money in agriculture

Sorry about that. What can you do to prevent a reoccurrence next harvest?

Isn't that insurance?

That’s not insurance. It’s a loan with certain conditions.

You get a loan or grant to start or run a business, while insurance is a way to manage your business risk in case of any eventuality.

Sorry for your loo

Wow! This is much o.... You did not apply control chemicals (bactericide/fungicide/nematicide) on time?

I m so sorry about this bro... May God repay you in another form . Don't give up.

Do you pay your tithe?

Consider God's protection and covenant for your field.

Bad debt is different from insurance

LocalFARMERS:


None. The only insurance is that, if you collect a loan facility from Government to farm and you encounter this. Government will not ask you to refund the loan.

could be applicable to private sector?

I blame T-pain
Farmers don't give up..
But next planting season try wear chosen apron make we check sumtin at harvest time

Many young Nigerians would have tried their hands in farming businesses, but the current state of the country discourages them from doing so.


In Nigeria, security concerns cause individuals to lose interest in farming.

Get grasshoppers to eat up the farm then get weaver birds to eat up the grasshoppers. The droppings of the weaver birds will provide the best ever fertilisers. Plant the ginger again you will reap a 100 fold of bountiful harvest and forget your lost.
The lost is an opportunity to blow .

i heard many famers make it by planting weed in a section of there farms

oluwaseyi0:


Which is?

Do regenerative agriculture. I'm sure that land has been giving u great harvest before now? Do crop rotation or mixed cropping

This is so sad.

OP I hope next time works out great for you

How does one obtain weaver birds?

Hi Bro,
Sorry about your loss.
Avail yourself of an insurance cover, many insurance companies offer different types of policies that can provide some mitigation incase of incidents like this.
You will recover the loss. Amen

Even us too, last t year was hell. Spent much but gain absolutely nothing.
I farm small for mum before leaving Kaduna this year Sha

that's still sort of insurance naa.
If u collect a loan from a bank and stake your house as a collateral and do not repay the loan for any reason, the bank will just seize the house, sell it and recover their money.
At least in this case, the institution forgave them the loan, minimising their loss.
And loan is different from grant. U repay loan but do not repay grant.

Hope you didn't borrow money from CBN/ NIRSAL

for haring

minimum deposit 1k

Find out the name of this disease and the right agro chemical to apply for prevention in future. It is better to spend some money on prevention than losing your entire harvest.

I've never seen someone so acceptable of a loss. I love this spirit of I can't win all the time ... and when the loss comes you accept it and just look forward to the next round. How big is the farm? Did you research the disease? ... its name? ... what causes it? ... fungus?...moths? ... birds? ....how to control/prevent it? ... is it something in the soil? ...or airborne? ,..were the ginger developed enough to harvest? ... how does the disease affect the ginger? ...stops it from developing? I don't know much about ginger ... remember seeing the plant yearssss ago....and was wondering ehmmm ... when they were ready to start pushing out blossoms and bringing forth fruits ... but I learned a little since then and looking forward to learn more from your thread. I'm thinking crop rotation would be best since the bacteria or whatever will not get its favorite plant to survive. Lastly...ginger will be in more demand since it is very effective in fighting diseases. Is your ginger natural/organic?

Disappointed? .... no doubt...discouraged?.. don't let this one take set.

The Lord is your strength,he will restore all your losses.

God will compensate you in a bigger way.
