Hello. I dont buy from the market sir, I buy directly from the farm. Sincerely, I'm not into the tomatoe and pepper business. I only help my clients get them. I really dont know how they run their business because its just like gambling. I only supply supper mart and Individual person. I waybill it to them and how its been managed is none of my concern. The Tomatoe and Tatase thing is for the strong hearted.
Thank you.

KONNI NIGER REPUBLIC

POMO (HIDE & SKIN)

Mali has the biggest pomo market in West Africa. There's also a market for Pomo in Maradi and Konni Niger Republic though not as big as mali market. I buy from Konni since its closer to my base. Hoping to visit Mali soon...

Picture 1--------- Just loaded a clients pomo into the trailer
Picture 2--------- Preparing to take off to Lagos
Picture 3--------- My clients pomo

I'm not into Pomo so I dont know how its being run in the south. I only helped my clients one Alhaji Gambo buy the full load of Pomo. I will do my findings and then get back to those of you that may want to go into the retailing of pomo...

Yeah, its true. Its really a nice business. I served in Niger state in a village called Kura, not far from a town called Salka which is not too far from Yauri in kebbi state. Salka is known for its beans business and a very large central market. People come from all over Nigeria and west Africa to buy beans and many other things in Salka. I remember buying a sack of Onions for just 500 naira. If I had sold them, I would av made more than 2000 naira as profit but I shared everything when I got home. Its tough bringing them to lagos but its very profitable. The village I served is also known for growing groundnut and its very profitable as well cos they extract grounnut oil from them.


Well it is very interesting to see someone that served in Niger State, i served there also specifically in Bida and i remained there also, fortunate to be retained where i served. buh honestly am in this section cos i want to make extra quids more especially this one i know that agric pays. it would be nice to have ur contacts.
