UA-EKADOH
& COMPANY designed this book to sensitize the general public, farmers,
government officers, etc. as a way forward to eradicate Poverty and create more
job opportunity and growth in the country.
It
is a Viticultural/Horticultural consultancy firm that offers agricultural and
allied services in the country with talented staff of many years of experience.
Orchard
crops cultivation in Africa is already assuming an interesting dimension in
agricultural development. In Nigeria for example, the Federal Government has
been spurred to generate the needed foreign exchange through a large-scale
cultivation.
The
Orchard crops cultivation require high initial investment, the returns that
flow-in after the second year, when the first yield would have been harvested,
outweighs the investment difficulties, such as Loan obtained to financing of
Orchard crops cultivation.
The
loan so obtained with the accumulated interest is after refund at the end of
the 5th year provided there is a provision in terms of time that
favours adequate operation and recycling of funds for future integrated
expansion of the project.
In
a large-scale farm, there is the need to contract the management of the farm to
an agricultural specialist consultant. This allows for a farming systems and
training of staff on specific Orchard crops management and techniques
especially on the related variations.
Technically,
well schemed and adequate provision of necessary inputs in terms of
application. This stimulates maximum yield most reliable fruit quality. The
quantity cost of inputs, including chemicals application decrease in size while
fruit quality increases with age.
