At FarmOfftake, we create ready-market for local farm produce ahead of harvest. Farmers that sign up with us will be connected with consistent off-takers before harvest.
This is to solidify and further sustain the local rice revolution in Nigeria. Our basic goal is to promote the benefits of local rice consumption and also make it competitive in terms of price and quality over the imported rice.
Through b2b and b2g(groups), we already aggregated over 4,000 bulk off-takers. Therefore, we are calling on serious rice farmers, new and existing to take hold of this opportunity in order to reach more wider market.
Pls fill the form below and submit, we will get in touch immediately for the next step.

[b][/b]Hi adisabarber, thanks for commenting on our post.
However, we quite don’t understand what you mean....
We are a startup (not a govt organization) that helps hard working farmers market their produce ahead of harvest. And we are currently working with local rice farmers.
If you have any particular doubts or more info, pls feel free to air it right here or send us a mail at farmofftake@gmail.com.
Thanks.

There is hardly any type of this scheme on this forum that did not end in people losing money. Either because the organiser set out to dupe people OR due to unforseen circumstances beyond the organiser's control. Away from this forum, it is almost always same story. Fire or flood destroys farm, rats ate cassava, birds ate rice...... I have not seen one successful farm for you scheme. Anyway, good luck with your business.

Thanks adisabarber for finally airing your thoughts clearer,
Truly, we understand that their are people of questionable characters out there who are here to dupe hardworking and well meaning Nigerians, but still; you must read our post clearly to understand what we do.
We don’t collect money from farmers, we don’t farm for them, we don’t do funding schemes like the likes of Farmcrowdy, ThriveAgric, FarmCart, FarmFunded, etc. All of the above are serious organizations providing funds for farmers and ensuring food security.
What we do is to partner with such organizations to help them create ready-market for their harvest.
Mind you, there are successful farmers out there, apart from the well-known ones which we are partnering with already. The reason we are posting here, is to see if we can get smallholder farmers who are willing to go into rice farming and our pure aim is to create market ahead of their harvest.

Sorry for the long epistle, it is just to clear your doubts. Thanks a lot bro.

Nigeria has one of the world’s highest Rice consumption stat. Rice is by far one of the most popular staple food among Nigerians. Almost every family eats rice daily in Nigeria. In 2011 alone, Nigeria spent N991billion on rice importation and the rice we import is said to be nothing less than 10 years old in storage. That means we spent billions buying rice that has since lost
its nutritional values.

That is why we are calling on rice local rice farmers to help us reduce import and increase locally grown sweet rice.
