Good day house, my friend planted tomato in a net house, he bought the nursery from some israelites. He have started harvesting but he is having a problem is that the plant in some ridges will just turn brownish and die off. Please what should he do? Thanks

Tomato is a very delicate crop that requires maximum care and management.
It has several diseases and pests that needs to be prevented from onset.
I am sorry about your friend lost but one needs to learn the basic before venturing.

You are highly welcome sir.
Our next training will be coming up by February 1st - 26th.

Hello everyone,
Am currently working on a proposal to cite a small project hydroponic greenhouse farm as close to a city as possible to reduce carriage costs. main products include tomato, peppers including scotch bonnets and capsicums. I currently have all greenhouse dimension sketches and cost estimates worked out and i believe my team and I can construct at least 5 standardized greenhouse tunnels along with a drip irrigation equipment with importing any component.
The model believes in breaking the cartel and selling direct to end users and smaller mass market retailers by building a loyalty scheme with retailers and of course at slightly cheaper prices as well as larger standardized retailers who require constant supply all year round. We intend to build pack houses and wash bay facilities in order to deliver hygienically packed fresh farm produce to the market all year round, basically we want to revolutionise the food packaging and material handling of fresh produce by packaging the same quantities that make up a basket of tomato/pepper in separate 5kg standard crates selling at cheaper unit prices/ bulk discounts.
Easier to access as the farm is cited as close to the city as possible.
The idea is to site this project in the South to make cheaper food available in Southern markets reducing sourcing food from the north and saving costs for retailers.
We sort of got torn in between citing the farm in Rivers state or Lagos state. If we choose lagos state, feasibility studies show that the farm will be best sited in a developing area perhaps Ibeju/Awoyaya axis to guarantee a "future city farm" in a few years time. However, similar ideas are short for Rivers state although there will be a mass diversion of customers from Abia, Imo, Rivers, South east and south south markets patronizing the local farm and as such would save cost of transportation to the North and reduce sourcing from the north.
Please, I would like your opinions on best location between these two places or any other as long as it is in line with the "Southern food production" concept.
And also does anyone know the estimate of how many tons/kg of tomatoes that can be produced from an acre (6 plots) of land under a greenhouse model and of course most of our capital will be geared towards acquiring an acre of farmland in the target area.
All opinions are strongly welcomed.
Thank you
Ms. Ronnie

You can't afford to miss out

Hello Ms Ronnie,
Your plan is a grand one. But in all honesty, it may not work out the way you talk abt it for the following reasons (among other things):

1) You can not break the monoply of the local people/cartel with the volume of whatever your hydroponics farm will grow. It's simply too little. You can only grab your own share of the market if you do your marketing well.

2) Citing the farm along Ibeju/Awoyaya (or any high brow area) axis to me is a waste of precious resources that you cld use to have a bigger farm close to lagos. You only need to have a small refrigerated van to move the farm produce to your farmgate shop (this is an idea am presently developing). We can colabo.

3) There's no need for any wash bay/parking lot creation. You are not a relaxation centre. Why not focus on the farm set up & marketing?

4) Nobody can tell you the exact out of any farm output. Everything is an estimate because anything cld go wrong.

Most so called consultants will only want to get their fees & leave to lick your wounds/losses.

If you need further collabo, buzz me.

God bless our hustles.
