Final Lap Of Cassava Farming For 2016 by Emempaul(m): 2:40pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Hi there we are now in the final lap of the rainy season(august ending-second week of october). You can still cash in on the cassava revolution. How? Its simple. follow this basic steps and u are buiness 1. For those of us in lagos n ogun, visit any farming settlement(i prefer owode - idiroko/border axis 2. Rent a land. Cost is 10,000 naira/hectare a year.(my advice start with wat u can manage effectively 3. Carry out ur first and second ploughing (10 to 14 days after first ploughing) at the cost of 10k for each plough 2 Likes 1 Share |

===> It is important to note dat once the first plough starts, u must start sourcing for ur cassava stem(cassava stem to cover 1hectare is btw 20k - 25k +transportation) |
Re: Final Lap Of Cassava Farming For 2016 by Emempaul(m): 3:04pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
4. After the second plough u might ave gotten ur cassava stem down. Now its time for planting 5. Wages for planting vary but we approximate to 400naira per alapin (2 alapin = 1 plot, 15 plots(1hectare) = 30 alapin that means 400naira * 30 alapin = 12k/hectare for planting 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Final Lap Of Cassava Farming For 2016 by Emempaul(m): 3:06pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Pls note dat ,dat the figure for planting is a worst case scenario |
Re: Final Lap Of Cassava Farming For 2016 by Emempaul(m): 3:16pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
6. After about 1 month , its time for first weeding. Cost is 350 per alapin * 30 alapin = 10500/hectare 7. Immediately after the first weeding fertilizer is applied. Currently a bag of fertilizer goes for 7k and u nid 3bags = 21k again 200/alapin for application * 30alapin = 6000naira |

The actual money u get is 5500 to 6000 depending on d distance of the farm to the but but how? I dont understand Well d break down goes like this. Out of d 7.5k, 1000 or 1500 goes to the bikeman depending on d distance to d buyer, 400 to the harvester, 100 to the person dat arranges the cassava in d basket 1 Like |
Re: Final Lap Of Cassava Farming For 2016 by Emempaul(m): 7:48pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Now 3 baskets = 1ton so instead of getting 21000 the actual money u get is btw 16500 to 18,000 now dat is the figure u should work with so dat u dont raise ur hopes high 1 Like |

Processing ur cassava into garri gives u times 2 the value. |

And yes i ve tried it, done it. This is not multiplier effect, not internet farming, not computer agriculture but real sweat n smoke toil. |
Re: Final Lap Of Cassava Farming For 2016 by Emempaul(m): 8:51pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
It was tough but I had to cajole the chairman of my co-operative to try an xperiment on outrite sales or processing. We tried an experiment using 4 cabstars. 2 went for direct sales while the other two went to processing into garri. By d time we were thru, garri was d winner. We are currently setting up a local processing factory and going into production soon |
Re: Final Lap Of Cassava Farming For 2016 by Emempaul(m): 9:01pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Outrite sales gave us 120k for the two cabstars, we got a profit of 200k after sales of the garri |
