MARKETING PLAN FOR HARVESTED POTATOES.
My plan is to sell first five harvests in southwest,then the rest in South South(rivers,bayelsa and Akwa Ibom States)

somehow:


Do you have the buyers already or just going organic with marketing?

apakoso2020:
I will also be dropping a business plan for pepper(atarodo) business,buying in the southwest and selling in South South,this business is only for 2months .

@ op what do you think of planting maize in akwa ibom on say 5 hectares next season to sell fresh?

apakoso2020:
fresh maize market is very dicey,it is not constant as it is classified as a perishable goods,kindly look into direction of producing dry maize

i dont like the idea of dry maize, i dont think its as profitable as people make it out to be. take for example 1 ha of fresh maize, from my understanding one can get between 50000-60000 cobs of maize, if sold at 6 for 100 one can make sales of between 800k to 1 million per hectare. Could you explain what you meant when you said it is dicey, im trying to make a logical decision

apakoso2020:
if fresh maize is scarce say this year,it triggers more farmers to go into its production in the following year,that makes it a glut in the market,i have seen people throw away large quantities of fresh corn they brought to the market for sale because they couldn't sell it due to buyers lesser than production or vice versa,thats what I mean by being dicey,but I also believe life is a risk and I will never discourage you from taking one.

Boss please keep this group update

Jonnic1:
Thank you for taking the pains to share your experience with us. This is very kind and sacrificial of you. Please keep the information flowing. We, your mentees are learning. I have learned so much already especially on planning and analysis as enumerated by you above
Thank you so much

apakoso2020:
thanks for following,i have been so busy gathering for next season,still acquiring lands and selling tomatoes and peppers bought from South West,its filled with another dimension of experience, I will share this from next week by God's grace.

I got a call from a pepper dealer in mile 12 that it's ₦8k for a 25kg bag there,instead of planting multiple crops that may divide your attention why not face one like pepper and be supplying to the South south,my friend from nsukka sold one flour bag ₦21k at owerri from may-july.

apakoso2020:
thanks my brother,planting one crop and facing it might be frustrating,for instance,a 25kg okra was sold for 8k in Port Harcourt a month ago,it now sells for 3k ,it is safer to be optional when it comes to perishable goods,its a business that needs to be studied over time,so don't just hear pepper at that price and you run into conclusion,i relate these market to forex trading.

Good day Sir.
It's quite noble of you to create this thread in order to guide newbies. I hope to be joining you at Ikire early next year however, I have some concerns.
1. Is the land close to a natural water sources?
2. Is there availability of cheap labour?
3. How safe is the site from theft or cattle invasion?
Your kind response to the questions above will help with my decision making.
Thanks.

: N156,000-N122,00 =N34,000
Twice a week trip is N68,000
Eight weeks trip is N544,000

DEBJOCH1:
. Why buy from Saki to PH when the Saki Atarodo can't even go round in same Oyo State. If you know the number of Trailers load of Tomatoes and pepper which arrives from North to South you will know that you won't maximize profit when buying from Saki to South South, best place of purchase at a cheap price should be in the north.
