You have got it spot on!... Except, who in Nigeria has NGN200million to use as capital (except of course, the corrupt politicians).
As a Government worker (civil servant), how many years of work will you put in, to make 200million?...
Don't even talk about 'loan' Cuz to have collateral for 200million is riches on its own....
Then again.... 100,000 milled bags..... You be Government bdat.... Cuz Where the land go come from......?
Let's cut our coat according to our cloth Abeg.... Pesin wey Get 200million no dey Nairaland.

Farming requires capital. One just needs to know what he can invest. Getting land is the major challenge.

Thanks, I've been doing some reading since u brought it up. It's kinda funny things we disregard or things we have no idea of. Let's see how it goes,,, i'd love to call u if d need arises. Thanks

I made a mistake by mentioning Europe, I actually meant Australia. They have a serious problem of flies due to them being the best dairy farmers andol. There's too much degradation. Bringing me to..........Now if you take up dung beetles breeding, combining it with vermiculture (snail rearing), you can even expand your scale to crop production farmers too. Snails for soil fertilization and dungs for land rehabilitation.

What this means is you'll stand a very good chance of producing green, still maintaining the size of the product. You know green producers complain about the hard labour they put only to harvest less, compared to chemical usage.

One can even take it up in a small scale for local dairy farmers and crop producers.

Yes I am. But mine is still a research, though I am well expose to the end product.

@Mod, i think this thread is good enough to be at front page. Some jobless youths need to see this and be inspired. These 10 businesses highlighted by Op can actaully make one a millionaire within a short period.

Meanwhile, society/people need to change their mentality about the way they treat or address anyone who is said to be a farmer. To be sincere, farming is not something an educated youth can be proud of in our society. This is not but the way society ridicule you the moment you tell them you are a farmer.

How do you expect the youths to venture into a business they were seeing as third class citizens, local or someone without any hope of the future. For instance, how many guys can proudly tell their newly found girlfriends they are farmer without being speedingly dump or be shunned.

There was a day i had a problem with my BVN verification, met this lady at their costomer care department. One think led to another and she asked me about my profession, told her i'm into agric business etc. If you see the way she changed face on hearing this, only God know what was going on in her mind. That day, i was just looking at her with a pity( that if this one know how much i had invested in agric, she wont acted like this). Thanks God she eventually came back to her sense probably after checking my account details.

Dear Nigeria graduates, let us all change the way we see our colleagues venturing into agric(especially ladies). Not everyone will work in the office or work for someone else. The painful part of them all is that, the investment capital of the person you see as a low class, local or illiterate because he/she is doing farming might be your 5 years salary in an hopeless organisation/company.
how do i connect wit u in person

Back to land.
Going back to agriculture is d way forward in this country, thank God many graduate are receiving sense recently.
In addition to wot U listed above,
palm plantation is another aspect of farming dt is very lucrative. Malaysia specialised majorly on palm oil production and other related palm products and they are doing far better than Nigeria with our crude oil.
Even in Nigeria, many have become millionaire through palm oil production

Let me sound this warning very well!!!

If you dont have upto 300,000 naira at hand.. Pls don't start fish farming.. If you really wanna make good money... Start a pond and make sure you have upto that amount above..

You go buy feed tire to feed fish.. And at the end.. Those wicked market women go dey price your fish 500 naira.... Fish when big like crocodile... Those women will price you into frustration...

Unless you supply hotels... And how many hotels dey use catfish?

Nor try urself ooo


P:s..... Don't let any one deceive you oo... It's no backing out when you in.... And when it's time to buy feed for the fish.. Ain't no negotiating or suspending it oo.... Because the more you starve your fishes... The more they loose weight and become stunted in growth..... I am into it.. I know what am telling you.
you can smoke them and sell as smoked fish instead of selling as fresh fish and you will make more money because they don't spoil when smoked.

Same with Poultry farming. I'm into small scale Poultry farming and it's not funny. there are times I regret it. the cost of feed is too high yet the cost of chicken is the same. some people will frustrate you with the way they'll price it. very unfortunate. there's no union in farming that when the cost of feed is high they declare a particular price for sale.

. Poultry Farming – Everyone knows how ‘Cashy’ this one is, it doesn’t need much introduction and yet it’s still not fully tapped. What we currently have are few badly managed, scantily equipped poultry farms here and there.

Young man why dont you say only the things you know? How is poultry a lucrative biz when feeds are sold at N4100 against N2650 Nd at d end you cant sale ur birds above N1000?

Don't mind that guy. he doesn't know what he's talking about. let him come into the business first. now Poultry farming is like you are doing it for free. if you are not careful you won't even get up to the money you invested in it.

God bless you my brother.... You just said my mind!!!

No Union at all.... Let me tell you... I spend 23,000 naira every fvcking week for the fishes to eat... I buy raannan feed just to boost their growth... For the next 3 remaining months eh... I will be spending up to some hundreds of thousands...


And people will still be pricing my fishes for 800 per kilo.....I may kill somebody that day if they price below my stipulated amount.

Spending much and gaining nothing.... That's agriculture in naija for you.
