ALL-YEAR ROUND MAIZE PRODUCTION

By Agroraf - April 15, 2017

Maize farming is an example of the crop farming that is very compatible with the Nigerian climate
and well suited arable land. Maize is one of the most important food crops consumed in Nigeria.
The crop is the cheapest among its contemporaries such as rice, wheat, and sorghum. Maize is
expected to be a vehicle towards achieving food security in Nigeria. However, the constraint in
Nigeria as always been the all year round availability, especially in the southern part of the country.
Hence, showcasing a  great opportunity for potential maize farmers who will not only rely on
rainfall but also take a giant step in delving into irrigation during the dry season so as to ensure all-
year round availability.

Any prospective investor in this venture stands to make huge profit as analyzed in the feasibility
report  written on this which shows incredible returns on investment. Maize in general forms a huge
part of Nigerian food, animal feed, and fiber for industrial uses.

In other words, the holistic production of maize (for the above mentioned key purposes), balances
social equity, environmental soundness, high productivity and economic viability. This therefore
means that commercial production of maize in Nigeria can ensure sustainable agriculture.

The factors to be considered before starting a maize farming business in Nigeria are:

Suitable land;

Suitable weather condition;

Using the right maize variety;

Identifying the most optimal way of marketing the harvested maize;

Soil improvement methods;

Weed management and disease control, inter alia.
