Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important annual food grown throughout Nigeria. It is tuberous and has the ability to thrive in poor soil and considerable resistance to drought but gives high yield when cultivated on rich and well-drained soil and favourable climatic conditions. It takes 1-2 years to reach maturity depending on cultivar planted. The production of cassava is done throughout the year which makes it preferable to seasonal crops.

Cassava is propagated through the stem and sprout from the nodes of the planted stems. The tuber from this crop is the most valuable part of the crop, the tuber undergoes various post harvesting handling; in Nigeria, it is one of the most cultivated food crops and it is widely eaten by all though processed differently. The tuber is seen as an established raw materials for both small and medium scale industries in Nigeria for local production of garri, flour and fufu as well as the extraction of edible starch, chips and alcohol for the food industries.

The farm investment for one (1) acre of cassava at Seventy one thousand eight hundred and forty (71,840) Naira, covers pre-planting operations which includes land preparation, seedlings and inputs acquisition; planting operations which includes weeding, spraying, fertilizer; and post-planting operations which includes harvesting and sales of produce. Pre-planting operations costs over Thirty one thousand (31,000) Naira; panting operations costs over Thirty thousand (30,000) Naira and post-planting operations covers the rest of the costs for one acre.

When people hear the word, ‘INVESTOR’, they typically think about someone with billions of dollars. But in reality, everyone is an investor, from those who have a savings account; the difference is that no two investments attracts the same returns.

eFarms is a revolutionary digital agriculture model deployed to tackle the problems of paucity in funding for agriculture, food insecurity and underutilization of abundant arable land, increasing youth unemployment, and difficulty in accessing a consistent supply of high quality traceable produce that has bedeviled Sub-Saharan Africa’s economic landscape. By leveraging on pools of investment from investors passionate about the agricultural sector, but lacking the skills and time to execute effectively; and making same available to farmers, both active farmers, as well as potential graduate farmers, and connecting this to produce offtakers, we provide a sustainable solution to these problems.

efarms presents a preselect list of farms comprising of different crops and animals, chosen with careful consideration to demand, yield, Return of Investment (ROI), and Tenure of investment. These are divided into sub units corresponding to minimum investments for each farm. Thus, a maize farm may consist of 100 Acres of sub-farms, which may be in different locations. All farms are insured. To participate, a potential farm-investor would go through our platform, browse through all the farms with their corresponding GPS Coordinates, ROI, Expected Yield, Tenure of Investment displayed, read the FAQs, ask questions; then register, and select for funding the farm of their choice. During the tenure of investment, the farm-investor gets bi-weekly feedback in the form of videos, pictures, texts, and can book onsite farm visit if he chooses. At the end of the investment tenure, the Farm-Investor gets back his initial capital and his returns on investment varying for different crops and different tenures. For further details explore our farms.

When a participant registers as either an active farmer, or graduate farmer, they are screened; only qualified farmers can participate or be on-boarded. Active farmers are assessed for crops they have experience growing, a feasibility study on the suitability of land they use for selected crop would be evaluated, and if matching, the farmer’s operation is funded. For the graduate farmers, they can only be on-boarded at the end of their training on crops selected. The funding of farmers comes in the form of provision of inputs needed for the quantity of crops chosen, and monthly stipends agreed upon. This measure is to ensure that funds are used for agreed upon purposes, as well as uniformity of produce, as the same seedlings would be provided to all farmers.

The active learner chooses what crop to follow and is able to learn across all our media platforms. He may later decide to begin his own farm, or work with us. The produce offtakers also registers and keeps track of our produce and the harvest time; with the view to buying them once they are ready.
