With N250,000.00 you can cultivate an acre of plantain
The N250,000.00 conveniently takes care of the cost of suckers to plant (@ N80.00/sucker), the weeding, clearing and harvesting processes.
Depending on the spacing between two suckers, you can plant up to 1000 suckers on an acre of land
Giving 5% allowance for losses,you will be harvesting 950 bunches
Your profits depends on the timing of harvest and the ruling price in the market and the density of competition.
Assuming you sell a bunch for N1000.00, you have had a successful outing already

seunopeyemi:
how much can one make in this business with 300k already have 3 acres of land in oyo state and how long is will it take for production

world1:

So when is the time??
You claim to have a plantain farm and you dont know anything about the season. You claim to be a banker but market women are now smarter than you. https://www.nairaland.com/1923142/monkeys-plantain-banana-plantation

world1:

Your N600k can give you N500 1st year
It takes 9-12 if the plantain is well feed.

You sound haughty and insecure, sir. You need not take a swipe at anyone to prove your point. What do you mean by 'less imaginative peers'. Not everyone who is not into agric is less imaginative, you displayed crass sophistry there. Rather than this unseemly disposition, why not marshal your efforts towards achieving the objectives of the scheme?
Do not take this as a form of derision, rather try and be less malignant in trying to drive home your points. I wish you luck and keep up the wonderful work.

seunopeyemi:


ohh thanks boss! which time if d year can one plant this crop? how reliable can one get a standard breed I read somwhere on naira land that one can get plantain breed dat will produce in 7months but on this streem nairaland all am see seeing is 12-14months

world1:

You can call the guys at IITA as for me I don't know of the 7 months variety.

corkqueen:
Please, I have a plantaim farm in Delta, but Bush has covered it I wish to revive it. Please experience hands should please drop their whatsapp number I need urgent response asap. I am going into farming big time.

world1:


Watermelon (500 seeds) N4500
Onion(3000 seeds) N6000
Tomatoes (100 seeds) N1200
Carrot (10,000 seeds) N8000
Tumeric 1kg N1500
Short 6months paw paw seeds N50 per seed

happybrother:


Are you sure you are not out to reap people off.How come that a tomato like uc 82 (10 grams of 3000 seeds) sales at 500naira.
Then the best hybrid in tomato for all Nigerian zones is 900naira for5grams (1300 seed) Even smuggled seeds from MonSanto Africa in Kenya like Anna f1 doesn't cost more than 1k per 1000seeds.
Mind what you post here people in the seed sector are watching.

securi:
I agree with you on maximising profit but not ripping people off. The case @ hand is more of rip off, imagine the margin, haba. 10% diff. can be maximising profit but above dat is pure rip off. Actions like this will further discourage ppl from farming and this forum is to further stimulate youth to go into farming. A fellow Nairalander also complained about word1, infact he wanted him to manage his plantain farm but got discouraged when he learnt from me that someone on Nairaland sold jatropha to me @ N40 whereas word1 told him N100.ln case u don't know N60 mean a lot to a young farmer and can make him loose interest in farming. He needs to relax a bit, he doesn't have to be too greedy in biz. Even as a master of the trade, if you are not affordable its a disadvantage to u cuz it means less work and opportunities and when you charge reasonably there will be inflow of work as ppl spread gospel of your good performance.

world 1 sells products n services with 120% gain from the new farmer. Wow!. This is greed of the highest order.
No wonder he does not own a farm cos he doesnt know what it takes to be a farmer rather uses farmers as his crude oil. Who wont be haughty and arrogant if u have succeeded in taking 120% from the farmer at will. I am really shaking cos this guy is an.expert in greed game. This one pass mkt women deal on fish farmers.

LagosBoi2:
Chai!!! Mercylicious, world1 don suffer for your hand, I don't trust the guy anymore

Praktikals:

Oga, you don't spoil people's business and expect God to prosper your own. Since you know a cheaper source for suckers, why don't you start a new thread.

mercylicious:


i am not ready to sell anything on agric section. He is not the only one selling things on this section and i have not attacked any other person. A lot of other ppl have observed his traits for a long time and if u check previous posts, i have been innocently defending him. For him to call me olodo and even dig up my previous post shows the thing has entered his head and i need to humble him. He needs to learn how to be a good sales person and stop being arrogant. So arrogant to even post that He is too Big and a king maker, when e never even reach palace guard.

I forgot to tell u dt world 1 sold suckers at N120 naira each to some nairalanders when agric section started. It was when he saw other sellers were fair and reasonable in their prices that he brought it down.

He is on serious - OPERATION KILL THEM ALL.
Tommorow ppl like this will call legslators legislooters while they are looting nairalanders in their small capacity.

meanwhile i be madam and not oga.

Madam mercylicious, things dont really have to get to this level. I can confidently say that world1 is a rear breed. How many people can say something and keep to it? He initiated YABDI and it was a success. YABDI is a platform the govt. can learn fromThe YABDI Ogbomoso project was a was an eye opener for people that never knew that farming is a money making investment.. World1 is an established farmer. He is straight forward and keeps to his words. That is why he is always on naira land with pictures of his jobs. We only read on naira land of people setting up /having farms without pictures to show. He is a professional and good at what he does. I have been to his farms to see things for my self. He is on ground and well established. I have also had business deals with him and he did a perfect job. I will advice that you guys settle your differences. You can both benefit from each other. YABDI Ogbomoso project was free. Nobody paid a dime.
