EQUITY CROWDFUNDING FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRO SECTOR DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA; A CASE STUDY OF PLANTAIN AND BANANA INDUSTRY.
Equity crowdfunding is a mechanism that enables broad groups of investors to fund startup companies and small businesses in return for equity. Investors give money to a business and receive ownership of a small piece of that business. If the business succeeds, then its value goes up, as well as the value of a share in that business.
Coverage of equity crowdfunding indicates that its potential is greatest with startup businesses that are seeking smaller investments to achieve establishment, while follow-up funding (required for subsequent growth) may come from other sources. The inputs of the individuals in the crowd trigger the crowdfunding process and influence the ultimate value of the offerings or outcomes of the process. Each individual acts as an agent of the offering, selecting and promoting the projects in which they believe.
An individual who takes part in crowdfunding initiatives tends to reveal several distinct traits: innovative orientation, which stimulates the desire to try new modes of interacting with firms and other consumers; social identification with the content, cause or project selected for funding, which sparks the desire to be a part of the initiative; (monetary) exploitation, which motivates the individual to participate by expecting a payoff. Developed economy like USA and developing economy like Ghana have being using this model for many years, in Nigeria equity crowdfunding has been a popular method of generating capital in the financial sector however its impact in the agro sector is negligible.

Plantain and banana industry is a broad sector with a huge potential but it's unfortunate that the industry has suffered neglect for years, according to FAO plantain and banana can be processed into 20 products yet in Nigeria there is glut and wastages. The three sectors in the industry viz; Farming, value addition (processing and packaging) and marketing (local and international) can create wealth and jobs for Nigerians especially the youths and give revenues to the government. The challenges facing the industry include but not limited to over dependence on rain by farmers which is the primary cause of glut, poor farm management due to inadequate knowledge of plantain and banana cultivation practices by most farmers, inadequate funding and lack of political will to drive the industry forward by the government.
As individual(s), stakeholder(s), association(s) and lovers of plantain and banana and their derivatives, it's time we stood up to turn around the fortune of this industry and harness it's full potential.
THE WAY FORWARD.
Our economy is in recession, one of the most potent ways to get out of it is rapid development of vibrant medium scale industries in which low and medium income earners can invest and make profits as alternative source of income. It costs about #1.5M to establish and run a standard 2500 suckers capacity farm on 3 acres of land with irrigation facility, proper farm management and security. This investment can bring over 100% return on investment (ROI) in a year with subsequent revenue in less than 8months for years depending on the management of the farm and capacity for expansion. It costs #2M to establish a mini plantain and banana plant with #3M for purchasing raw materials and running cost making #5M total, this investment can bring about 200% return on investment(ROI) in a year with expansion capacity.

Using the stated capital above, with #30,000 which an average unemployed youth can spend in less than a month attending job interviews or submitting application letters, 50 of them can successful establish a model farm with proper coordination. With #100,000 which many medium income earners spend on frivolities, 50 of them can successfully establish and run a mini plant with proper coordination, please note that the higher the stake by each investor the lower their number. These investments do not only make it possible for us to stand head to head with international standard and practices in the industry, it boost our economy and enable us to have accurate data on the industry.
Many would be wondering how the people will do it in terms of managing the fund and investment, though the concept, equity crowdfunding has been discussed earlier, let me elucidate more. For crowdfunding projects, three important factors are necessary; project initiator(s), offer receiver(s) and a platform. With so many groups and platforms on the social media, those who are interested in initiating projects should have adequate knowledge of the sector they chose, prepare simple and comprehensible business plan, be very sure of the feasibility of the project and be sincere. Those receiving the offer must understand the business, know his or her profit on the capital invested with exit strategy and have trust in the initiator(s) and the success of the project. By the year 2018 we should be able to meet the quantity of plantain and banana needed locally throughout a year, tackle glut, reduce wastage, create jobs and revitalize plantain and banana industry in Nigeria. God bless Nigeria.

Our plantations are beauty to behold.

Our plantlets are disease free

High yield.

Dependable plantlets

10 reasons you need to invest in Plantain and Banana industry.
1. Plantain is the third staple food in Nigeria whose consumption has increased over other staple foods in the last 20years.
2. Plantain is the only source of carbohydrate with low sugar, it's is always recommended for diabetic Patients.
3. The demand for plantain surpasses supply with a very wide margin. Availability has not been consistent, it's available at a season and scarce off season.
4. Apart from chips and flour which plantain is used for, recent researches show plantain can be use to produce wine and bread. India is already into commercial production of plantain wine.
5. Plantain and Banana industry has an enormous potential which is yet to be tapped. In Nigeria we have not met the optimum production capacity not to talk of prospects of exportation.
6. Plantain farming is a money spinner. It's one time investment opportunity with increase profit for years if properly setup.
7. The value chain of Plantain is large creating employment and wealth from plantlets production, cultivation, processing, products packaging to marketing.
8. Aside the roots and suckers, plantain is used in feeding livestock.
9. Banana is a succulent sweet fruit rich in dietary fibre taken across the world. Banana is used in making wine, it's highly profitable.
10. In agribusiness, investment on plantain and banana bring returns in quick succession, after the first harvest which takes between 10-12 months, subsequent harvests are between 6-8 months with up to 20years shelf life for the plantation if properly managed.

“It’s clear that agriculture, done right, is the best means the world has today to simultaneously tackle food security, poverty and environmental degradation.”
– Irene Rosenfeld, Chairman and CEO of Kraft Foods.
