There is an obvious and very large need to modernize the Nigerian Agricultural sector. With our population projected to hit 482 million by 2060, we need to figure out the optimization of our food supply industry now and not later. This is the mission that my partner and I have set out for ourselves but neither of us has an Agricultural background and as you can imagine the task is tremendously more difficult without it. We are appealing to all stakeholders in the Nigerian agricultural industry - from the woman that retails in a local market to the man that heads an agricultural processing plant - to please reach out to us (contacts below). We have questions and we believe you can provide the answers. Let’s bring Nigeria’s agricultural industry into the 21st century together.

it is no longer news that half of the products produce every year in the farming industry perishes before getting to the final consumer, therby creating loss on the part of the farmer or wholesalers who bought these products. from the little I have observed around, over 60 percent of farmers in agro products are smale scale farmers in rural villages without exposure to quality seedlings and standard storage facilities.
in cases where their products do well in a farming season, transportation becomes another factor to consider as most times good road is lacking in their environs.
buyers of farm products has also contributed it own quota of problem to farmers as it is most times difficult to get buy of a particular product in a particular season, for instance, during the season of tomatoes, getting buyers to purchase your product becomes difficult as the market is almost saturated, storing the tomatoes to dry season when the demand is high and supply is low also becomes a problem due to poor storage facilities, all these leading to losses most time.

Answers to the questions
(1.) There can be a problem of transportation if the buyer or farmer do not have means of mobility but at the grass route area the mobility is bearable to cost of buying and selling/processing the produce.
(2.) The normal procedure if from the farm is just paying for the goods per quantity(tonnes) you are buying to the farmer and paying for any labour services for labourers with you bearing your logistics or negotiate it to take your produce out to your destination. but if the produce has reach out from the farm all will be charged together which may be higher in costing. The last stage is if it has reach the market you will pay for everything i explain above with some service charge of the market like storage room charge(just token),this is usually higher if it is not directly from the farmer because it might have reach the 2or3party.
(3.) The major pain point start from your pricing if youre not good at that. This extend to your logistics which may cause your cost price to outrage your selling price.
(a) At times it may slow to delivery,so to cover the gap you can negotiate on pick up at your own confort time which will even give the assurance of the produce availability during pricing.
(4.) The major bigest problem is if you dont know where to source for your good in large quantity to make your expenses to be lesser.
(5.)As a seller the bigest problem is not having the right buyer and not knowning the additional values the produce can have for more yield and where the buyers are.
