Where can one lease a land in imo state for farming"? Please anyone here let me know |
Re: Farmers In Owerri, Lets Meet Here And Share Experience by pamdaniel(m): 9:53am On Aug 24, 2016 |
Arvinkris:I have not seen where u can lease in acres or hecters. What u may find around is in plots. those village lands that are shared amongst them self each farming season... some who have their share of the land and can't farm or are not around can give out to u... majorly u can get like 5to7 plots... but no mater the amount of plots u get u may not be allowed to use tractors |

Good job you guys are doing here. Instead of leasing, don't u guys think it's better to buy? Cos in leasing, there z d tendency for annual increase in rent as Lagos landlords do, n if u decide to lease for many years, I'll suggest that money be used in outrightly buying a land. Lands r available at Old Nekede around d zoo, although I know some farms r already located there. Also, does the farm have to be in Owerri? Considering that the river flows through several communities, why not get a land in one of those communities that lie along the river path? Though I'm not in Imo, but I'll be open to investment opportunities as Bros Jasper does. Agrixulture is a hotcake in Imo state n d little time I spent researching t there last year shows that animal farming z even more lucrative due to the presence of numerous hotels, eateries and bars. Fish, snail and chicken most especially. Infact, suppliers ain't enough for these commodities. That doesn't discard the demand for food/vegetables cos even Bros Jasper said he doesn't meet demand for his cucumbers. Together, we can make Imo great... #GOD BLESS SOUTHEAST NIGERIA # 1 Like |

Yampotatocarrot:nice thoughts bro... can u link me through to lands at nekede? with lands around river arears...however, u seem to be negative about land lease! but its a mid way for beginners... and there are some places that have policy not to sell their lands to non indigenes but they can lease due to the fact of the economical cum geographical advantage such areas possess. |

Arvinkris: My point is that one can still go into d farming even if he doesn't get land in d riverine areas. Just read your post on u leasing out land in PH. I'm not against leasing of land neither am I trying to stand in d way of u doing your business Infact, for peace on d thread, lemme just KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT |

Please, any idea on a cashew plantation in Imo state? I was going through a thread on d economic value of cashew n I noticed just few states were mentioned (3 actually) without any reference to S.E at all. Decided to call Dad today to find out more n he said d one he knows z around Isikwuato in Abia state. I just wanna know, z there a reason it's not been grown in Imo state? Probably soil or something of that nature |
Re: Farmers In Owerri, Lets Meet Here And Share Experience by whirlwind7(m): 6:54am On Jan 07, 2017 |
Yampotatocarrot: I think part of the problem is a result of communal land ownership and fragmentation in the SE. Land is in short supply there. You will hardly get a single community who owns, say, 50 hectares of farmland and willing to sell or lease it all at once. Compare this with the SW where there are thousands of hectares of farmlands and the owners are looking for buyers. Because areas in Oyo, Oshun and Kogi states are already known for cashew cultivation, they attract international buyers. It really needs to be on a large scale covering thousands of hectares and yielding several thousands of metric tons to be competitive and attract attention from buyers. I know the areas in Isuikwuato where cashew plantations are located. Not that far from ABSU. |

I think d unavailability of sufficient land should lead to ideas on how best to manage d available ones for maximum agricultural output. I hope to fully come back this year to contribute my quota to agricultural development in the state, hence my extensive research so far. I've done research on snail farming, poultry n vegetables (Jasper has been a major factor for veggies, encouraging me to start) cos the market z really large for such in Imo especially considering the increase in the hospitality industry We will definitely get there....

Yampotatocarrot: There are in Okigwe zone. |
Re: Farmers In Owerri, Lets Meet Here And Share Experience by Yampotatocarrot(m): 8:58am On Jan 07, 2017 |
Pavore9: Don't really know those locations too well..... Isn't Isikwuato close to Okigwe? Might b d same plantation that extends to Okigwe..... Correction needed on this my statement please |
Re: Farmers In Owerri, Lets Meet Here And Share Experience by whirlwind7(m): 9:32am On Jan 07, 2017 |
Yampotatocarrot: Well, they are basically within same geographical location. Remember that the present ABSU Uturu campus was formerly IMSU, but during the creation of Abia state, the boundary was made such that IMSU Uturu campus became ABSU. That was done just so that the new state of Abia will have a state owned tertiary institution. Uturu (now in Abia) used to be part of Okigwe (now in Imo) When driving from Okigwe to ABSU, immediately after the campus is the road that leads to Isuikwuato. Like I said, all these places are within same location. Its just politics and artificial boundary delineation that separates them. Now, as for the cashew plantations, there are several of them in that location, ranging in size from a few plots to a few acres. I think most of them are individually owned. The sizeable ones I saw were the ones located in Isuikwuato. There are several small plantations all across the areas, in places like Ovim, Ubahu, Uturu...can't name them all, but they are mostly small plantations. You will also observe cashew plantations along the road when you drive from Okigwe to Uturu...immediately after that deep valley on the right. Collectively, they are child's play when compared with plantations in Oyo, Osun, Kogi and some other North Central states If you are observant, you will notice the similarity in the vegetation and soil type in the lands within Okigwe going towards Enugu and parts of Ebonyi. These are the soil types that best support cashew plants. |
