Many people are already aware of this fruit but haven't realized the money it can generate.
This fruit is generally known as palm fruit which our lay men call banga fruit or palm kanel.
As a farmer, I have noticed that this fruit takes energy to maintain but when harvested yields money.
I know you might be thinking of the money to begin such a project, but one thing you are forgetting is that when you have a good plan concerning a project the money for that project will surely come out from somewhere.
In this post, I will tell you the amount required to start such a farm project depending on the size of your land that you want to plant the palm fruit on.
Before I do that I believe you know the advantages of this farm project?
Let me just list a few for you incase you don't know:
1. after harvesting, it can be used to produce palm fruit oil which is commonly know as palm oil
2. after harvesting, it can be used to make banga soup which is one of the native soups in Nigeria
3. after harvesting, it can be used to produce other palm fruits for nursery purposes which can be replanted and sold from also
4. the farm land with the palm fruit can be rented or leased out for monthly, quarterly, or yearly payment
5. knowing the fact that vitamin E helps to rid the body of free radicals and protect it from cancer, cardiovascular disease, heart disease and other serious illness. However there are two forms of vitamin E that each serve a unique purpose: tocopherols and tocotrienols. While tocopherols are the most common form of vitamin E available on the market, tocotrienols are just now beginning to emerge in the Western world as a superior addition to the vitamin E family, particularly in the form of palm fruit oil where they are most richly found.
Having listed a few advantages, someone will ask, how much does it cost to get a palm fruit from the nursery?
Before I answer this question, I would like you to know that this palm fruits have different qualites, so be very careful of the type you are going to purchase.
As Producers and Distributors of both Palm fruit and Palm Oil here in Nigeria, at Ophinab International Limited, Benin City, Edo State, from my own nursery it costs N350 only per palm fruit. For more information call +2348184801792
So you can see that with with a minimum amount N50,000 into such a farm project, you can boast of a better future. Another thing you should know is that this palm fruit business can be done both in small scale and large scale, so be encouraged and start up something now before it's too late.
