In this article, I want to bring to you all you need to know about this commodity called tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus). This crop is the world’s richest source of fibre. No wonder pharmaceutical companies all over the world demand the commodity for making body and hair creams. They cannot do without tiger nuts and that is the reason why the product is demanded all year round.

Site Selection, Preparation, And Planting:
As usual I have always advised that farmers make sure that they understand the best soil suitable for the particular crop they want to plant. Knowing the best soil puts you kilometers ahead in beating failure. It is important that you do not leave anything to chance. Anything you do not properly understand, seek the best opinion as guess work can spell danger and eventual losses. If you lose bank’s money, you will lose your security and all your efforts will be wasted.
Though tiger nut grows on virtually all types of soil, but it advised to plant your tiger nuts on sandy and loamy soil for optimal yield. Tiger nuts in Nigeria yield between 2.3 – 11.3 metric tonnes per hectare.
After selecting the land and working on the soil, you will have to clear the land and till the ground. You must make sure that your ridges are 20-60 cm deep into the soil as tiger nuts go to such depts.
