What Is The Number One Problem Farmers Face by ceciliab(f): 11:31am On Oct 12, 2019
Farmers are increasingly facing problems in Nigeria especially when
the middleman have made the cost of food beyond the reach of the common man . Staple crops like rice, beans, maize , millet, cassava , chicken , goat , fish etc are very cheap to buy from the farmers but the middle man exploits the farmers and pays a pittance to the farmer and sells at exorbitant prices to the end consumer.


The compensation is not enough to meet other basic needs of live and the farmer continues in poverty . In most times the children of the farmer refuses to continue in the trade and the business doesn't continue. Most farmers lack the skillsets and marketing techniques to effectively sell their farm produce direct to end consumers and bypass the middle men. They lack the expertise to sell their farm produce direct to end consumers and bypass the middle men.Both rural and urban farmers can increase sales and scale up your business. Even if as a farmer you dont hv the distribution network to sell your products to end consumers, These distribution networks can be created physically or virtually online.

There are very intelligent strategies farmers can put in place to bypass the middle men and sell to the consumer directly and make good profit. Also there are some marketing incentives you can implement as a farmer that would ensure your customers buy in bulk from you thus exhausting your stock on time. There are intelligent strategies to even sell your farm stock before harvest. Farmers can no longer rely on other people to sell for them and make the bulk of the profits. They should now learn creative marketing strategies that they can implement on their own to sell their products to the end consumers and enjoy the bulk of the profits.

Farmers can learn creative marketing strategies that they can implement on their own If farmers can equip themselves with the right marketing skills and strategies, we may be looking at a scenario where a lot of farmers would start smiling to the bank and earn maximum revenue from their labour and sweat.

As for weeds you have strategies to get the weeds from infesting your crops, its evasive strategy to draw their attention elsewhere . you have cover crops when planted close to your plants that release chemicals to stop weeds from growing close to your crops, plus there are free natural concoctions you can make that can naturally kill weeds.Send me a pm for more information
