Farming in Africa

Register
Hello All

We are reading a lot about Indian farmers getting land on lease in Ethiopia, Tanzania etc.

I am interested to initiate discussion about issues in the same...

1. Cost per acre (excluding land rentals)?
2. Minimum acreage required to be successful?
3. Minimum funds required (excluding land rentals) per acre to develop farming?
4. What should be considered successful for someone leaving a life behind?
5. What equipment is needed & for what acreage e.g. a tractor per xx acres, one harvester per xx acres and so on.

Other issues I am not even thinking of...

Looking forward to a good discussion.

With best regards.
Sanjay.

Dear Sanjay,

Your interest is well appreciated.Basically land is available on lease in ,many places in India, in Africa, in mexico..............But basically in all places what you will do after getting 10/25/100/1000/5000 hectares of land. In all cases you cultivate the land get the produce and sell the same as it is or value added.

In any case it would definitely require 10 lakhs/100 lakhs/1000 lakhs........

if you are ready with funds depending on size of fund own or borrowed you can get any quantity of land if you are not zone specific.

for more ............
