bigproject: I dont want to join issues with anybody o this matter. I started cassava farmiing over a decade from Osun state,moved to Oyo state and finally settled down in Ogun state close to Idi Iroko
The labour are from benin republic....very cheap, tell me if you have any machine that can harvest cassava form the bush? Do you have your own truck for transportation? how many tons of cassava you get from an hectare of land even with improved varieties? dont let me go further. you can check my web to see what am doing at the moment. Farming is the key but dont let us exaggerate figures,let's be practical as young farmer.

bigproject: The only way you can maximize profit in cassava is processing Shikenna.
I plant cassava that I used for my Pigs so dont tell me whaat I know.I am managing hydrolysed cassava starch and garri company for a friend so i am not a novice. A lot still has to be done for farmers growing cassava for them to maximize profit.

Lesgupnigeria:
In the past,Nigeria has relied so much on oil
that other sectors of.the economy have either
been abandoned or little attention are being
pay to them;agricultural sectors which remain
one of the abandoned sector.
In the 70's and 80's,agriculture is the main
drive of the economy generating hundred of
thousands of jobs for its people but in this
new millenium,opposite is the case.
For the first time in the history of
Nigeria,government are now paying attention
to the agriculture especially the cassava as a
crop. This is because Nigeria is the largest
producer of cassava and also the economic
impact cassava can make for the country and
the populace.
Thanks to the administration of President
Goodluck Jonathan even though even though i
am not a supporter of any political party.
The believe is that proper partnership with the
private sector will surely steer the ship of this
government new-found-love to a glorious
destination.
I hope this short article can also encourage
young unemployed graduates and investors to
venture into cassava farming to help them
create wealth and jobs for the people of this
country.

ongoing and with the few hectares of land
