Benny farms at Mkpat Enin hosted an AKEES Demonstration farm in January 2016. See the story I wrote about earlier on Jabborro.com

1.Mkpat Enin
AKEES isAkwa Ibom EnterpriseAnd Employment SchemeSee www.akyees.com

It yielded 12 tonnes of Tomato, through 8 Weeks
12
This implies 1500kg/week making it #750,000 every week
at pre-epidemic price, with 1kg of fresh tomato going for #500.
13
This farm earned #6million; ...yet it is only a demonstration farm, established
merely as a sample, a trial farm, not the real thing.
14
2. UYO- An Uyo demonstration farm was planted on a location provided by Eni farms.
- It sits on less than 600 square meters of scientifically managed land.
15
Harvest is Ongoing…
...yielding an average 25 baskets weeklyEach Basket weighs about 19kg
16
They make a minimum of #240,000 weekly
That amounts to
#1,920,000 through 8 weeks
This is only a Demo farm; not the real thing 17
...only 2 hectares of tomato planting can fetch #15M at minimum unit cost.
According Mr Langwa B, an expatriate working with AKEES for these farms,...
18
It’s been confirmed with AKEES coordinators that a minimum of...
12 land owners
...have offered their lands for the establishment of these farms in Akwa Ibom accumulating to a
minimum total of 20 hectares.19
With more success could be...more lands
more planting
more harvesting
more Per Capita Income
and even more Internally Generated Revenue.
20
Do the Math...Agric is the Way
Offer your land
Via AKEES, you can establish business partnerships
You can also Secure seeds, get the technologies and techniques
Then you can Plant, Harvest, Sell, Earn - and most definitely create jobs.
