Hello guys, the topic title was just random so please don't think you are coming here to see an arguement..

By God's grace we are hoping Nigeria will go back to agriculture and leave Crude oil which has cause more problems

than solutions to the economy..

we all know that to get into the oil and gas business is something that only those with big pockets can do...

i am a struggling youth.. i want to delve into agriculture so much but i dont know where to start..

all Nigerians are talking about how going back into agriculture can help the economy

but no one is willing to help out those that want to.. even the ones already reaping from the agriculture..

first things first.. I am from jos but grew up in lagos. My family own a number of irish potatoes plantation..

hence my grand dad's name "mai-dankali"

but i dont just know how to grasp the agriculture thing.. i really want to do agriculture.

i read a post of how strawberry was grown in VOM, plateau state my own state ooo... strawberry..

so guys please can anybody give me some few guidelines or hints on how to go about this....

thank you

Pheals:

cultivation...

mashnino:


cultivation...

the crop u wanna cultivate...is it mixed cropping u want to practice or single?

for now single..

the cultivation is not the problem..

penetrating the market is.. that is where i am kinda very noob

how can i get the right market to make supplies to...

The market depends on the crop you want to cultivate. If it is cocoa, you will have to look for peopLe that are into exportation of cocoa. If it is plantain, you go to areas that plantain are very expensive while you sell per dozen.

For example, you can look for sellers of plantain in lagos, sell it per dozen...I think it is around 1k per bunch...so a dozen should be around 12k...but u can lower ur own price...and make it like 10k or 11k per dozen...

Just meet the sellers that are selling in bulk..reduce ur price a liTtle...but make sure u are making profit while naming ur price.

Your family is into Irish potatoes in Jos while you live in Lagos. Look for market outlets in Lagos such as eateries that are into potatoes chips. Since it is straight from the farm to Lagos, no middle men involved your price should be competitive. Work on packaging, have the potatoes washed, sorted and packed in plastic crates as against sacks. You can bring it down to Lagos with sacks but for delivery plastic crates will make sense. Something like the attached picture.
