My Plantains. . . 🍌

Who doesn't like dodo? Especially with beans.
And what about Plantain Flour ( Elubọ Ọgẹdẹ)?
The beauty of the plantain plant is that you can get a bunch of plantains within nine months of planting.
We are indeed Blessed.

Yes, I have Mellania trees on the boundaries of the farm. I can't believe it, they are eight years old already!

A big shout out to my colleagues planting trees for wood, Carpentry and furniture uses!
I personally want to thank you on behalf of all Nigerian home-owners and builders.
Thank You. . . . ❤️

Currently, there are an average of 8m babies born in Nigeria a year, these babies will be 25 years old old in 25 years time and they will need homes, roofs, wooden bed frames, doors, chairs, tables, wooden spoons etc.

With this, we need to plant trees for timber.
Presently in Nigeria we plant malania which takes 10 years to mature, teak, mahogany, Eucalyptus and acacia among others which take about 25 years to mature.

The economics is interesting. Each tree can produce a minimum of 30 pieces of sliced wood (2' x 3', 2' x 4', or 2' x 2') which sell for an average of ₦1,500 per piece. ( Year 2025 prices).

Corn farmers are not smiling to the bank at this time!
This is 2025, and the price of corn at the farm gate gives little or no room for profit.
Many reasons for this, notable of which is the waiver for importation of corn starch and other corn by-products.
This has also had a knock on effect on the price of cassava.

My tomatoes 🍅

But why are tomato farmers not smiling to the bank this year?
Whats all this glut in the market?
Is it because we have had good rains this year?
Is it that lots of people were encouraged to go into tomato farming due to the high cost of tomatoes last year?

And how about all those expensive Green houses that sprang up everywhere? Was it worth it? I have my views on greenhouse, and that's a discussion for another day.

The beautiful carrot 🥕
This lovely vegetable took me less than five months to grow from seed to harvest. This means I could get two cycles in a year.

Tannery is the art of converting animal hide into leather for making leather shoes, bags and other leather accessories.
If Kano is the tannery capital of Nigeria and Abia State is the shoe making capital, then imagine the addition to employment and our GDP if we had a direct rail line between the two states!
