One thing about most early supporters of Jonathan are those seriously interested in creating VALUE and earning their living in a meaningful way unlike those following the pensioner and his Thief'nuibu CABAL who are generally waiting for salary (not work oh) or direct dash dash like what the old soldier foooolishly promised them- N5,000 each for 25 million unemployed people i.e. N1.5 trillion, which is 1/3rd of our 2014 budget ![]() 3 Likes 5 Shares |

OP, I agree with you on some of the point raised but you are leaving out pest and diseases. one of the major reasons why tomato doesn't do well is because of bacteria wilt. This can be controlled by greenhouse farming to a large extent. I learnt there are some green houses in owode in Ogun state, i have also seen one in Ikorodu installed by Dizengoff. Attached are some pictures, Kenya is seriously into this type of farming and they now construct greenhouses locally because of high cost. 2 Likes 1 Share

It will be ideal to study the modus operanda of the many small size markets especially on the outskirts of Lagos who are totally independent of the mechanisms and forces of demand and supply @ Mile 12 market and then you add value through standardised preservation and packaging right from the farm house or shed in an a wholly hygienic environment. |

I am motivated with this story. I think Jos with be a good place for such farming if done in a large quantity and the market in Abuja will be lucrative. Don't forget there are loses when produce are not well harvested and since its a perishable farm produce; how do you deal with the lost margin?. |

No. I am not lying. Why would I in the first place? I am not selling e book, I dont do farm set up nor am i advertising product. So please give me a cogent reason why I should deceive people. Rather I have been pointing out the difficulties and challenges involved. No where in my write up did I say i made N100 not to mention millions. Not everyone on social media is out to scam people.And not all of us take to been insulted because you are behind a screen. There are a lot of factors that could affect your yield. Whats the brand name of the seed? Did you understudy any farmer or do you have any prior practical knowledge? Please get your fact right I can categorically states that 30 tonnes yield has been gotten from an hectare in Nigeria both in the southern part and the northern part. toyoutoyou: 9 Likes |

No one is disputing that so what are you betting? Please go over that post again. "I said Dangote tomato processing plant said they have seed that can yield 100 tonnes per hectare" It was written in the paper of which day or month i cant remember. I am sure google could help with that Please lets try to read in between lines. jeffmyson: 5 Likes |

Believe me the so called elitist market has its own share of the market. Its more sustainable than the unstable price change of the open market. What they demand is quality?. Which is not too difficult to meet. All one needs to do is extra work. Yes the demand supply ratio can. Nigeria buys imported tomatoes of lower grade at N1000. Getting a better quality at for less is a big advantage. National Bureau of Statistics you say? Where and when last were data's collated? In Nigeria? Where did they get the figures? Big Woooww. I guess i give up. Your postulations or whatever are not realistic. And like i said I completely gove up. quote author=jeffmyson post=30007747]And I also encourage agri business to focus on the mass market because that is where the money is not the elitist market. How many people can afford 400 Naira /Kg tomatoes in Lagos? Is the market sustainable? Can the demand supply ratio keep you in business? What is the minimum wage and what percentage of it does people spend on food (on average household spend 30% of food budget on vegetables), what is the population of the city and household calculations? When doing postulations and feasibility let us always take advantage of data released by the National Bureau of Statistic (its always on their website and free) to determine if our proposed business makes "reasonable economic sense" and if available data on consumer earnings and buying behavior will support the business model!

choiceman:Sir, I was sharing my stories, my experience in the farm. I expect questions from my audience but none is forthcoming. My stories becomes shorter because i can afford to cut corners. Don't mind me sir. Pest and Disease of tomatoes Like you rightly said, bacterial wilt is o,e of the major sickness for tomatoes. When we have on the farm, we kept applying every kind of pesticide, insecticide or whatever. Since we don't even know what it is. Eventually i have to do some little research. I found out it has no cure One has to uproot the whole plant and burn to prevent the spread of it. Bacterial wilt is from the soil. Beat method is to either use seeds that are resistance or find a way to treat the soil. Si,ce it enter the plant through the root and the green house are sometimes treated in pots and bags. It becomes save. The green house in Nigeria is too expensive. Dizengolf is selling at N1.100,000. How many farmers can afford that? 2 Likes |

jethro2: Can you imagine? 1.1m for that rubbish they are selling. That same size of greenhouse in kenya cost like 250k, I don't know why Naija things are always different! I believe if green house are cheap, many people will go into the business of vegetables and there will be supply all year round! 4 Likes 1 Share |

jethro2: I was referring to Dangote farms with their outrageous claims not you. That Is why farmers refused to buy the seeds from him and rather asked him to try and farm it himself in his demonstration farm. I don't think anyone is here to scam anyone on this thread. We are all learning! But please no shout figures too much as some of those e-farmers will think it is very easy and the next thing they will start tomatoes farm and when they fail they will start looking for someone to blame for their woes! Tomatoes farming is not very easy! It require efforts and vigilance too! If you really want to know the wahala in it visit Kadawa Valley in Kano, you will see how northerners suffer for those tomatoes you consume everyday! Cheers! 1 Like |

jethro2: National Bureau of statistics are very reliable please! Corporate Nigeria and International rating Agencies use their data. Forget about how they collate their data as that is their professional business and focus on making positive use of those data. I still maintain that 400/kg tomatoes market is limited as of today! The people who can afford it are very few percentile of the population whose earning averages minimum of 250k per month and that is the elite and expatriate community. The focus should always be on the mass market because that is where the money is! 3 Likes |
