How Much Rice Can A Hectare Produce by andrecamcam(f): 12:58am On Aug 20, 2019 |
hello everyone, I would like to know how many bags of rice a hectare can produce (the size of the bag of rice is 50kg) and also how big is 20000 hectares. thank you |
Re: How Much Rice Can A Hectare Produce by Nobody: 3:29am On Aug 20, 2019 |
Good morning, After processing, you should get about 35-55bags of refined rice or 60-110bags before milling commences, depending on what management practices were adopted during cultivation. Pre-milling bags weigh about >80kg, while post milling bags weigh 50kg on the average. Talking about the size you are talking about, 20000 is basically a land area big enough for an Integrated Rice Project. Heavy duty tractors, combine harvesters, boom sprayers etc, farm cabin/residence, offices etc. In the country right now, we don't even have a project on rice this big. I hope this helps. I am a commercial Rice farmer with about 5years of experience under my belt, currently in North-Eastern NIgeria. Cheers!!!! 10 Likes 1 Share |

BMusdapha:this is quite interesting,if one hectare of land (15 plots)will produce 50 bags of refined rice then definitely rice farmers are really trying,if you factor in the financial cost to prepare such big land, work and stress to produce rice , harvest and refine rice on one hectare it's better imagined,the last time I checked one 50kg bag is #11-12,000k local rice,so we have #600,000 from rice on one swampy hectare in 90-100 days,not too encouraging if you look at production figures of veggies you will agree with me that a rice farmer suppose to have a veggie patch around because that is were the money is, personally I have seen #2,000,000 million+ realized from 1 acre(6 plots)of cucumbers in 70+ days,f it's hot peppers that is planted on that 1 hectare just 2 harvests will give you same money like rice,and you will harvest every 4-5 days for at least 5 months.when we are young and growing up we are meant to believe that money don't grow on trees but veggies are definitely proving that statement wrong. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

okoroemeka: hmm vegetable farming seems to be very lucrative but my problem is how do you manage to keep it before it starts getting spoilt? |

Rice farming is not easy o. Before you can harvest those numbers of bags you will need to protect your farm birds,rats and human. |

potosky:you forgot about all types of poisonus snakes that will come to eat the bird and rats,rice farmers are really trying,I remove my hat to them. |

okoroemeka:when is the best time to nurse pepper for dry season |
Re: How Much Rice Can A Hectare Produce by okoroemeka(m): 3:18pm On Sep 11, 2019 |
Olaleyeabdullah:if u want to make money with pepper and less stress of irrigation this is what you will do,do nursery by December 15-25, transplant it into nylon grow bags or used pure water satchet by 10-15 January,then field transplant ending of February, harvest will start from 2nd week of April and continue till the rain stops,this strategy will serve two purpose,you will have pepper when the price is costilest april-september,and you will do minimal irrigation,the only setback will be the management ,that rainy season is when disease is much,but with good spacing and Good agricultural practice it will work. 1 Like |

okoroemeka:can this method also be used for tomato in order to Target the peak period |
Re: How Much Rice Can A Hectare Produce by okoroemeka(m): 7:25pm On Sep 25, 2019 |
Olaleyeabdullah:I think pepper and tomatoes are the same family,it will work but you have to be on your toes on management, tomatoes are a little bit tricky to manage but if you know the rules it must work,just get original knapsack for spraying,if your land is big get motorised sprayer or convert car wash engine for spraying . |
Re: How Much Rice Can A Hectare Produce by Olaleyeabdullah(m): 7:36pm On Sep 25, 2019 |
okoroemeka:again, won't the pepper root outgrows the grow bag or pure water nylon during this period |
Re: How Much Rice Can A Hectare Produce by MDDarah84(m): 8:07pm On Sep 25, 2019 |
okoroemeka: Bros,what species of pepper do you plant in February and harvest 2nd week of April? If you plant in February,the earliest you can start harvesting is late May. I have a pepper farm and I have been doing these for 4 years. Also,the profit estimate you gave for pepper might not be all time correct. Pepper is one crop that is very unreliable.This year,for instance,here in Ibadan,the results has been bad. Just passing by with no hard feelings |
Re: How Much Rice Can A Hectare Produce by okoroemeka(m): 8:23pm On Sep 25, 2019 |
MDDarah84:you didn't read the post carefully,we do nursery by 15-20 December,then first transplant will be into single grow bag,by February it is taken for field transplant,if the crop is not harvested by 15 April which is 120 days,then something is wrong with your management, during that dry and hot period peppers are usually harvested in 90-100 days,if you plant avenir f1 ,top it in nursery and manage it properly and don't get at the highest peak production of 7(25kg) bags every 4-5 days and normal production of 5 same bags from 1000 crops,then also something is wrong with your crops, because we have done it and kept records of the production. 3 Likes 1 Share |

okoroemeka:for someone who is staying in North Central Kwara precisely can this also work if the pepper is to be rain fed after been transplanted. The problem is the pepper staying too long in the nursery bag before rain become stable here |

okoroemeka:This process is not necessary, if drip irrigation is available right? That is, during dry season |
Re: How Much Rice Can A Hectare Produce by okoroemeka(m): 11:47pm On Nov 02, 2019 |
Psalm4kute:putting pepper in single grow bags serve several purpose,ok,iet us imagine this scenario,you have drip irrigation,so you transplant 25-30 day old pepper of roughly 4-6 inches out on a blazing hot open3-4 plots field in February,all necessary good agricultural practice must be going on whether u like or not,ok,let's imagine another scenario you transplant into single grow bags and have the whole pepper that will fit in 4 plots in an area that will accommodate 2-3 cars,it will make irrigation easy, spraying of materials easy, management easy, protection from harsh weather easy,you can pick the best to plant eventually,using drip irrigation is not everything, nothing beats first hand experience. 3 Likes 1 Share |

okoroemeka:Guy, you're too much. i have two plots of land near Onitsha, it's close to people's houses and therefore susceptible to theft of farm products. What do you suggest that i should plant there. NB: i have zero farming experience and doesn't live in the community but can go there to work at least on Saturdays. |
