paulseyi:@paulseyi and others who are interested in maize farming. Farming generally is a business, and business is full of experiences that can not be bought with megabytes. Please instead of researching for months on end without starting why not start with a "control measure", e.g. 1/2-plot of land. #350-worth of treated maize seeds, plant it with all the experience gathered so far. Don't fool yourself with the Million Naira calculations available on paper. Be a farmer first before you can attempt being a mega-farmer. If you continue like this you'll only end up a forum-farmer, instead of the mega-farmer of your dreams.

I will appreciate a well detailed answer, thank you... I also heard that the insect control is the main thing in maize farming please elaborate more |

Re: Maize Farming Startup by dragon2(m): 7:14pm On Apr 23, 2017 |
jaycpu: 100ft x100ft in 9places should be 900ft x100ft, that is 9 standard plots. 900ft x 900ft is 81 standard plots. If I am right and you have 9 standard plots, you are short of 1 hectare by approx 1 standard plot of 100ft by 100ft. 1 hectare is 107639.104sq ft. |

Re: Maize Farming Startup by PapaBrowne(m): 12:56pm On Jul 03, 2017 |
teddyope31: Hi, Nice to see you getting in on the AG space. 100 hectares is a good size. You could actually earn hundreds of millions yearly with that size if you choose to the path of enlightened farming instead of just the conventional farming methods we follow in Nigeria. Value Innovation is key. I am open to partnerships and we have a few interesting options you might want to key into with the size of land you have. One is export related. Drop me an email on papabrowne@gmail.com and we can take it from there. About Cassava and Maize: I'll say these: Don't do cassava now. There is going to be a terrible glut next year as so many people have planted Cassava this year. I think the quantum of Cassava planted this year is probably 4 times last year's quantity. So you can imagine what will happen when there is surplus availability with fewer buyers. A ridiculous price crash. Then next year, everyone will run away from cassava and there will be scarcity the following year and the price goes up again and everybody rushes in again. Its very cyclic in nature. Next ear is a better time to plant Cassava. As for corn, still a pretty good crop as there will always be market. Only thing I don't like is the yield projection vs the sale price. 1 tonne is 120,000 Naira. Average yield down south=3 tonnes/hectare. So you are looking at revenues of N360,000 average per hectare. Not cool to me. Except of course you want to follow the value innovation angle like I stated on the first page of this thread. A crop to consider; A Foreign variety of Sweet Potatoes Average Cost of planting per hectare(Mechanized): N450,000 Average yield expectation: 25 tonnes. Time to harvest: 3 Months Cost per tonne: N55,000 Expected Revenue per hectare: N1,350,000 3 Likes |

Re: Maize Farming Startup by heilige(m): 2:46pm On Jul 22, 2017 |
Wrong calculation. You will not get 4 corbs per plant, so your calculation is wrong. You can calculate with 2 corbs and remember the second corb will be smaller. teddyope31: 1 Like |

[quote author=Lesgupnigeria post=16152745]Great topic! We are Located in Ogun State and are Into crop production mainly maize,cassava, watermelon,vegetables and cucumber. The season of maize is between March15 - May 15. therefore the season of planting maize is gone except you want to invite Loss.Late planting is in August.
