Internet farming- its good doing research using internet. But d moment u start real practical farming u find out find out dat dere is more to farming dan meets d eyes - disappointment frm labour - " " " from market in terms of pricing - " " " from pest and diseases - " " " from farm inputs sellers who hike price at their will and creat artificial scarsity |

Herds men and farmers- a major pain in d behind for farmers. If u complain of destruction, they offer meager amount as compensation. If u retaliate by siezing their cow they retaliate by killing farmers. So what is solution? pray and fast for 100days n nite once dey come,d cows c ur lush cassava leaves and are not interested- STORY FOR THE gods fencing ur 50 ha farm with nearly 20million only for u to wake up one day n c d handwork of cows on ur farm(u go find cry tire) for d strong heart.(heart attack/high B.P) for d weak heart hiring nite watch with local hunters gun vs fulani herds men with AK47- well, may d best man win coming together as a group of farmers in the community + community leaders n holding talks with the herds men on peaceful coexistence as well as tactically threatening them there by passing ur msg across- now thats an idea |

U must note dis, in farming there is no room for absentee farmer. Know d type of crop u want to plant, do a thorough research on market value, target market, add value etc (in dis case real time update/survey of the crop). Meaning ''U" personally ave to b involved |

For farm managers like me, pls and pls dont mess with the weather and also rememba dat ur farmhands are pple children. I just got to hear dat d broda of one of my farmhands who is working on another farm close to me was struck by lighten and killed instantly yesterday. It was a needless and aviodable incident if the farm manager had simply waited till after the rains before he sent his farmhands out to work. No matter how lite d rain is, if thunder and lighten accompanies the rain den avoid d field at all cost till d weather clears. Now his mistake will cost him alot |

I just had to lift this from a thread i was viewing not so long for those internet farmers. Its just the plain truth wen it comes to agriculture. Read and learn. @ all parties involved pls pardon my lifting Re: We Now Buy Plantain In Large Quantity by TAEpiphany: 2:21pm On Feb 26, 2015 Mr World1, Don't take it personal, I don't think he meant that statement to be an attack on you. GGfadar is one of the truth-tellers regarding plantain on this forum. Check a lot of the articles, you are led to believe plantain can be sold between 1000 - 1500 per bunch always. There are talks of demand being higher than supply, and that it's a farmers market. But here you are professing that if you get 750 per bunch you are lucky. I'm thinking the per kilo will not include the plantain stalk, so the person calculating 750 is generous, it sounds to me more like 400- 600 per bunch depending on the size. Even lower if the plantains are not bulky. Produce market can be very dicey, there are times in the ever ready Mile12 market that a bunch has been sold for 150 naira per bunch, just like cassava there was glut. Too much produce not enough buyers, I haven't seen any of these internet farmers advice on how prices can crash just like the forex market. No price control, you can sell for 1500 naira today in Mile12 and 150 naira next week. Other markets? Everybody is looking for a deal and an opportunity to rip-off. As a farmer with a perishable item, you receive the short end of the stick. |

ABOUT THE CASSAVA INITIATIVE COOPERATIVE Since the advent of the previous govt, The outlook for the agricultural sector started having a positive outlook and cassava the once neglected crop became a hot cake. But also came the middlemen who position themselves to reap off the famers with poor pricing, hence the need arose for a "strong voice" - a cooperative The aim of the cooperative is to be able to aid ourselves not to be at the mercies of market men and women as well as middlemen who think that they can increase or crash prices at their will. For these reasons, the cooperative will be all about:- 1. Organising ourselves as cassava farmers 2. Picking areas in which we as a cooperative can help each other in the form of marketing and processing 3. As a united voice approach govt agencies like BOI, BOA, FMARD and even international donor agencies for grants, credit facilities with single digits interest rates and even interventions dat enable we farmers grow and make profits 4. Also approach industries dat can serve as our financier for huge projects that can favour both parties 5. Put resources together to setup SME dat in turn processes our cassava into finished goods thereby effectively freeing ourselves from the grip of middlemen and entering into the finished goods market both locally and internationally 6. Monthly or quarterly meetings to discuss natters affecting us as a cooperative as related to the current realities of the nation 7. We are no longer looking to just sell fresh tubers cos now with the aid of the cooperative we can fund ourselves to build a local processing factory to process our produce effectively cutting off middlemen So how can we be part of THE CASSAVA INITIATIVE COOPERATIVE 1. Have at least an acre with the ongoing 2017 cassava farming season 2. Be an active member by attending meetings 3. Pickup ur forms at any of our designated points or representative POINTS: SIG office (temporary office):- FINMBA FARMS LTD. Off idiroko border road oko-eiye after custom check point Ogun state.
