For those highly interested in oil palm plantation, you need someone like a mentor who know what it takes to grow oil palm from the nursery stage to the maturity period. I commend your effort and contribution so far on this thread, though some may be skeptical about it but the truth is that they do not know the value of what they have.

I bought my sprouted seeds in NIFOR Benin in April 2016, nurse them till July 2017 when I planted and the people at NIFOR has been of immense help to me because I use to call on them when I am in doubt during these stages.

There are 3 popular specie of oil palm. i.e.

1. Dura
2. Pisifera
3. Tenera

Tenera is the hybrid of Dura and Pisifera, while Super Gene is just the new specie of oil palm planted mainly in Indonesia and it is still new to Nigeria.

Good day house. I have been inspired by this tread. My father inlaw has a palm plantation. There was a day I went visiting and was told his in his farm. I learnt he has been in the biz in the 80s. I found out a few info from him and he said it was profitable if well maintained.dat his children were not interested in towing his line of biz.longstory short he seemed not to be so keen abt d biz. Probably cos of age.following this tread is giving me an inspiration on whether to strike a deal with the old man. But o! Father in law property and father property no be d same oh! Can d gurus in the house advice? Make I hear from una... Thanks

Please go for NIFOR seedlings
25acres ~ 10ha => 1500seedlings needed but depending on farm layout employed

Hello house I really want to appreciate you all for your contributions, please anyone with the information on how i can get the super-gene nursery?

Thanks in anticipation

Please ooooooo
how many oil palm trees can I plant on a plot of land

1kingwriter:
Please ooooooo
how many oil palm trees can I plant on a plot of land.

The practice in Nigeria is that a plot of land is 100*100, while six plots is = one arce. The standard practice in oil palm plantation is 1550 palms per arce this can be compromised though to accommodate more palms say 1570 or there about. Going by this calculations your one plot of land will accommodate between 258/260 palms. Hope this will help.

which kind analysis be this, from what i learned so far one plot wont contain more than 15 trees

Just for clarity and standardization
1ha will accommodate approximately 150 palm stands at measurement of 9m x 9m
1ha = 2.5acres
1acre will accommodate approximately 60 palm stands only.

Please potentials in this oilpalm plantation agribusiness should engage and pay professional(s).

Pls How can I get hybrid oil palm seedlings and at what rate.

Please i need ur contact @okine4real

okine4real:
I have been hearing lots of people, talking about different types of Agricultural produce they can plant or would want to plant, But what i have not seen on these forum is for someone to really come out and tell us, all the stress, difficulties, ups and down he/she went through before setting up there plantation.

I want to start by saying i have managed to secure mine self 13 plots of land. Each plot is a 100 by 100 feet. i want to start up an oil palm plantation. I have been able to buy 1755 oil palm Nursery from NIFOR. My story goes like these.......

Each oil palm nursery cost 150 Naira
Loading of each oil palm Nursery inside the vehicle is 20 Naira each
I paid 50,000 to convey the goods from IMO state to Ibusa Delta state.


On getting to the farm, the vehicle could not get to ibusa on time, the vehicle got to ibusa around 9.30pm. So the vehicle had to park in the house for the night. The next morning the journey to the farm began around 6.30Am, on getting to the entrance of the farm, the vehicle could not go in, because of poor road network. The vehicle managed to drive in but as the vehicle drove in, some sticks punctured one tire. So we had to off load the hold oil palm nursery on the ground. So we hard to go hire a pick up van. The van owner charged us 6,000 to convey the nursery to a location closer to mine own farm because there are other people farm in front of mine farm. now after that, i had to call the Hausa boys to use there wheelbarrow to convey the nursery to the farm, they charged 24,000. na wa ohhhh

Now the next stage is for me to plant. My mum's brother did one of these Agricultural causes is school, so he is a professional when planting oil palms.

We used a spacing is 8.7feet. you heard me clear, 8.7 feet. while they where doing the measurement, you know when planting oil palm, you have to do pegging, some hard roots was sitting on the sport where he was suppose to plant the oil palm, there was so much roots on the ground, we called the Hausa people again, they charged me 30,000 to uproot all the hard roots. so work continued. As am specking now, they have finished planting the 1755 oil palms. They would be buying more 200 palms because its like the land is more bigger than with i was told.

While am putting these here is for the new people that wants to go into farming. People, if you must go into farming, you must have money..... The more you go into it, the more unforeseen issues comes, and if you don't have cash to solve the issue immediately, your work would be suspended.

Also it does not end in just planting, there are still lots of things to be done before the said three years when you would starting harvesting.


So far so good, i have don't lots of mistakes in setting up mine oil palm plantation. If i have read some post that advices one on NL about setting up Oil palm plantation, i would not have made these silly mistakes.

if you are setting up an oil palm plantation.

Never you buy expensive lands.
Buy from NIFOR in your State not from outside your state
Let there me good motor able rood, so the vehicle conveying the palms can go into your land direct.
Make sure there is know roots in the ground that would disturb when planting


I would update later when more things comes into mine head

Please I need ur number and I want open it in a big way like on 150hecters this is my contact 08030885396 I need someone to talk too. @Okine4real

Desiny4:

its available.kindly contact 08164628081

Sequel to the analysis given above, I like to first and foremost thank @ Okine4real for his details explanation and his trust for NiFOR products are , I want to correct some few things.
1) The standard measurement for oil palm is 9mtr, the reason for this includes easy access, among others that i cannot print here.
2) You quoted that you bought your seedlings for #150 from NIFOR, To put the record straight if those seedlings were purchased between 2012-2015 they are actually NIFOR products, but if otherwise, I'm sorry to tell you that those products have been compromised, and adulterated and are NOT NiFOR materials . Below are the current prices for NIFOR products.
(a) Seedlings #350
(b) Seedlets #150
(c) 20 lits.palm oil .....?
(d) Coconut seedllings...?
(e) Palm wine ......?.
You also talk lack of assistance to prospective farmers on this forum, well it depends on what you mean by that, because I have offered a lot of assistance to many people who contacted me through my phone number or whatsaap, Fellow forumite can attest to that.
Finally, I want to wish everyone happy farming.

To be every sincere, I have been quietly following all the post in this forum and I'm in love with almost every post, May Almighty God bless you all. Moreover I want some answers and suggestion to my confused situation. I'm 21 by age and I want to go into this oil palm business . what could 10million do for me, how many hectares of Land can this capital cover, and after Three years , what exactly will be my profit. (the land for cultivation and the Mill should be considered with this capital also ) thanks you so much
