Certified planting material
A plantation is only as good as the seedling it starts with.
Ogene Farms is a NIFOR certified nursery operator for EW2 palm seedlings. EW2 is a high-yield, improved oil palm variety, and our seedlings are raised on our own nursery beds rather than bought in.

Accreditation
Certified by the institutes behind the varieties.
Our nursery work is carried out under certification from Nigeria's oil palm and cocoa research institutes, covering both the palm and the cocoa planting material we produce.
CRIN
Certified agent - CRIN TC-8 series hybrid cocoa
Ogene Farms is also a certified agent of the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) for the production of CRIN TC-8 series hybrid cocoa seedlings.
Why it matters
Oil palm is a crop planted once and harvested for decades - which is why the variety, the nursery and the establishment of the plantation decide what the land returns for years afterwards.
What we cover
Nursery, establishment and management.
Take the whole plantation programme, or the part of it you need. Each scope is agreed with you before work starts.
Certified seedling supply
EW2 palm seedlings raised in our own NIFOR certified nursery.
Site clearing and preparation
Clearing, ploughing and land preparation ahead of planting.
Plantation establishment
Field layout, planting and establishment of new oil palm plantations.
Field maintenance
Weed control, agrochemical and fertilizer application through the growing years.
Plantation management
Ongoing operational management of an established plantation, to a scope agreed with you.
Nursery to field
Seedlings tended until the field is ready for them.
Seedlings are watered and tended on the nursery beds until they are ready to go out. The land side of the job - clearing, ploughing and field preparation - is handled by the same Ogene Farms teams that run our tractor services and farm development work.
Also from the nursery
CRIN TC-8 series hybrid cocoa seedlings.
Alongside oil palm, Ogene Farms is a certified agent of the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) for the production of CRIN TC-8 series hybrid cocoa seedlings - so a cocoa planting can be sourced from the same nursery.
