Vanilla Chocolate Plant Can Grow In Nigeria: $67/kilo, Local Price by tolase220(m): 4:54pm On Aug 12, 2018 |
Another employment source, like in Uganda, is the Vanilla bean cultivation for export to America, Europe and India. It is very lucrative, as reported in the Ugandan case below: Armed thieves besiege farms to steal vanilla pods which are later sold off to unscrupulous brokers. Farmers in Kasese, in the country’s west are forced to arm themselves or hire security guards to deter vanilla hunters. Thus, rising prices of vanilla on the global market have become a threat to farmers in Uganda rather than a blessing. Uganda produces about 150 metric tons of processed vanilla annually, most of which is sold in the United States, India and the United Kingdom. A kilo of unprocessed vanilla sells for about 67 dollars locally. So, the germane questions will be; Can Vanilla grow in Nigeria? Yes (Google) 2. Where can I get the plant to cultivate it? Plant Research Centres- Ibadan, etc; import from Uganda. Over to enterprising Nigerians, give the Madagascans (largest exporters) a run for their money asap! africanews, adapted http://www.naijapoint.com.ng/2018/08/10/vanilla-chocolate-plant-can-grow-in-nigeria-67-kilo-local-price/ 2 Likes

This is not an easy thing ooo. It will take at least 3 good years of hard work for the bean to flower. How many Nigerian farmers are ready to work for 3 years before making money? |

Vanilla is the second most expensive spice after saffron, in the world. A few countries cultivate vanilla and Uganda is one of them. There is the concern whether vanilla can grow in Africa and in Nigeria. The answer is yes, it is already a success in Uganda and can do well anywhere if the following requirements are given. Vanilla grows under shade and require sunlight only from the sides. You can intercrop them with banana, jatropha plant as a support post to the vanilla plant. Treilli vanilla horizontally because flowering will not happened if the grow upward. They don't have birds or insects to pollinate them. So pollination is by hand. The most important part of vanilla farming is successful pollination. Curing for flavour and extract is.... https://www.enibest.com.ng/all-posts/agriculture/how-to-start-vanilla-farming-in-nigeria-for-bean-and-extract/ |
