Enormous business opportunities abound in the horticulture area of the Agriculture value chain in Nigeria, enough to generate income and employment for several youths. However, most of these opportunities are not fully tapped. Hence, the widespread of youth unemployment and underemployment.

As if I said I want to farm on Nairaland... As if there is a given number that I failed to call. If Jasper7 had sounded this way, we wouldn't have seen the secret to cucumber farming!

Don't be hard on him bro, working on the farm is not very easy...

You could've requested for his phone number, or better still he left a contact link to his Blog on his signature, so.when you visit his blog you'll see how to reach him via email and I'm sure he'll reply faster to his email than even phone call which most times will be unavailable when he'll be on the farm.
