Is Dat why u close d university for close to eight months now are ur children farming

don't you know he's is the constituted authority?/

The other day Ajimobi displayed his own, today is Ogbeni's turn. una weldone ooo

PDJT:


I think you're one of those "graduates", not to realise we are saying same thing.
The Ododowa man is saying [more] should join farming, I guess, order than carry certificate about.
As you can see they are already here attacking the man for his simple advice.

I know we are saying same thing.

My anger with him, is telling graduates to forget their certificates.

When some jobs in that industry need graduates with certificates.

OBAGADAFFI:


And you think those Chinese experts are illiterates.

Do you know the technology behind Cash-crop farming?

Do you anything about Agriculture value chain.

You guys should research well before making comments

Are you saying the Nigerian graduates are illiterates? They may have poor mentality but formal education they have!

What technology is behind cash and food crop farming in SMALL SCALE? I have been to China and other places and the majority of farmers do not have the high tech equipments you are using as a SILLY excuse here! You people are just lazy and not forward thinking!

You should research well before opening your mouth in future because thinking like yours is detrimental to the mentality of Nigerians!

Try researching import tax, tariffs and loans for farming in Nigeria and you will see it is the most business, global, national and revenue friendly venture in Nigeria these days!

Your stu pid mentality on office jobs and tie is clouding your judgement!

The fall in the international price of crude oil has made the Nigerian economy a mess. As companies continue to downsize and cut salaries, the country itself is moving towards other revenue streams. It’s a no-brainer that agriculture is the next big thing in Nigeria, and with people losing their jobs and businesses failing, one lucrative area to invest in is farming.

The term farming, may sound crude, local, and less-profitable. This was a grave assumption made in the past. Today, people know better.

If you’ve been down-sized, or are looking for a business to invest in, here are 5 profitable agricultural business ideas that you can start today:


1). Fish Farming:

Over 50% of Nigerian households will eat something that contains fish today. That’s right, Fish! This is a staple food in every Nigerian home and people eat it every week.

The fishes that are most highly in the demand are cat fishes and tilapia. There’s weigh more than enough market for them in Nigeria, and they will always sell out of your stock as soon as they’re grown, based on the buyer’s specifications.

The size of your fish farm determines a lot in how profitable you’d be. The larger your space, the larger your fish products, and the potentially higher your sales would be. Hotels, restaurants, fast-foods, and hospitals (homes inclusive) buy a lot of fishes on a daily basis. This agricultural business idea is one you can start today.

2). Cassava Farming:

The demand for cassava products in Nigeria cannot be accurately quantified. The uses and demand far exceeds the supply.

By-products like garri, fufu, and bread, are the daily staple foods of almost every Nigerian. 95% of Nigerian households consume one of these meals everyday.

The endless uses of cassava for meals, and even for alcohol has made it’s demand far exceed it’s supply and as such, many local farmers are reaping good profits from growing this crop. It’s diverse use has overtime made it one of the most profitable agricultural business idea (at a good scale) any entrepreneur can start.

3). Poultry Farming:

The consumption of chickens and turkeys in Nigeria & Africa as a whole is sky rocketing everyday. Thousands of tons are consumed daily and the local supply cannot meet the demand. This has resulted to subsequent importation of thousands of poultry products into the country on a daily basis. This market deficit alone shows the potential of poultry farming in Nigeria. No wonder even an ex-president of Nigeria reportedly owns one of the largest poultry’s in Africa.

With a small space in your backyard and little cash to buy day-old chicks, you can start this agricultural business idea.

Poultry farming in Nigeria and Africa as a whole is one of the most highly profitable agricultural business ideas you can start today!

4). Grain Farming:

Nigerians and Africans as a whole consume millions of tons of rice, wheat, and oats every year. These are standard meals that every African family consumes in a week. In Nigeria for instance, almost every home eats rice on Sunday afternoons. Most other homes consume wheat everyday, and others consume oats. These meals account for a very large volume of food consumed in the country.

What’s more interesting is the fact that Nigeria still imports thousands of tons of grains everyday. In 2013 alone, Nigeria imported wheat worth $1 billion dollars. This shows the true potential of grain farming and it’s possibilities. Widespread local production can cut the importation by half and create thousands of millionaires from growing grains alone. This is one lucrative agricultural business idea you can startup.


5). Tomato Farming:

Did you know that over $500 million dollars worth of tomato pastes are imported into Nigeria every year? Yes, $500 million dollars! The answer is simple, the supply is far lower than the demand.

This is one agricultural venture that goes unnoticed. A lot of people tend to look elsewhere never realising that this profitable enterprise has always been staring them in the face.

If you’re looking for lesser competition, grow tomatoes. Once you can find a way to transport, grow (in a large scale) and keep them looking fresh for a long time, the sky would be your stepping stone!

This agricultural business idea is one you can easily start today in your backyard and grow from there.

Milling. Milling is a crucial step in post-production of rice. The basic objective of a rice milling system is to remove the husk and the bran layers, and produce an edible, white rice kernel that is sufficiently milled and free of impurities.

Your plan must also include details that will help you determine the best methods of delivering your product or service to your target market. Next, you need to develop a sound financial plan; and understand the legal aspects involved in international transactions. Now since I have made the above points clear, below are 25 hottest profitable non-oil export products in Nigeria.
25+ Hot-in-Demand Non-Oil Products to Export from Nigeria

Cassava flour

Cassava flour has very close substitute in garri, yam flour, plantain flour etc. This notwithstanding, it is a very popular food item that is easy and fast to prepare. The raw material for this project is cassava tubers. The raw material is available all over the federation.

The machinery, accessories and equipment needed to produce good quality cassava flour are cassava peeler, cassava tuber, grinder, sieve, dryer, fermentation tank, sealing /sewing machine and international standard measuring scale. All of the above can be fabricated locally for any capacity required by investors. There is a ready market in Europe, America and Middle East.

Cotton

Cotton is the most important natural fiber of the 20th century. The efforts of the Federal Government of Nigeria towards the development of the nation’s cotton sector received a boost recently, as the National Cotton Association of Nigeria (NACOTAN) got a lifeline of N33 million to enable the sector bounce back to life.

Snail

Nigerian snails are in high demands in America and Europeans Countries. The only thing the snails may constantly demand from you is your attention and care but they hardly fall sick.

You don’t have to buy their food and you may not have to spend much to create an abode for them. The beauty of it all is that the snails reproduce rapidly. They are capable of producing hundreds of eggs, which hatch into snails. It is now possible to produce 1,000,000 snails worth more than N5 million twice a year.

Ginger

Ginger is one of the most important articles of trade in the world spice market, where it is found fresh, dehydrated, preserved powdered and other forms. Though, Nigeria is among the World’s largest producers of ginger. Ginger’s flavor and colour vary with its origin and harvesting, storage and processing conditions.

Leather and Footwear

Presently the world footwear and leather products sector is moving from high-cost industrialized countries to developing countries and many developing countries (Nigeria inclusive) have strong potentials in this sector regarding raw material and human resources, but have mainly remained suppliers of raw and semi-finished products.

The raw materials for leather and its products are mainly from livestock, and Nigeria is endowed with the third largest livestock population in Africa. Raw materials availability has been acknowledged as a basic comparative advantage towards the export of leather and leather products.

Palm Kernel Oil

Palm kernel oil (PKO) is extracted from the kernel of palm. It should not be confuse with palm oil, which is obtained from the pulp of fruit of the palm. Palm kernel oil has a light yellow color and it has a milder flavor than palm oil. It is often used in the manufacture of various cosmetic, confectionery and pharmaceutical industries.

Palm Kernel Oil Crushing is a viable investment because raw materials can be sourced at ease, the production technology is simple and feasible, and the market for end products are automatic.

Palm Kernel Cake

Palm kernel cake (PKC) as a by-product in the milling of palm kernel oil. Palm kernel cake is considered a medium grade protein in feed, containing 14.6% to 16.0% crude protein, useful for fattening cattle either as a single feed, with only minerals and vitamins supplementation or mixed with other feedstuff. It has also become the main ingredient in daily cattle ration.

Palm kernel cake is commonly exported, mainly to Europe. It is delivered in bulk via vessel or pack in bags for easier handling and distribution. Lately, it is also used as Biomass fuel in Europe especially United Kingdom to provide heat and energy. The cake is demanded by feed millers and by exporters.

Yam flour

There is no doubt that Nigeria produces yam in abundance. In every state of the country, yam is available. It is estimated that over 30% of the harvested yam tubers are lost as waste, but due to the availability of processing and preservation mechanism it is easy. The machinery and equipment needed to process yam flour are:

Yam peeler
Milling machine
Boiler
Scale
Dryer
Sealing machine
Packing machine

If there is a country that should take this project very seriously, it is Nigeria. It is the world’s largest producer of yams (over six million metric tones) accounting for over 50% of its output. Of this output, only about 5% (300,000 MT) is put into industrial use by way of chips and flour.

Textiles and Garments

Nigerians can now tap into the $31bn US Booming Garment Market. When AGOA (African Growth and Opportunity Act) came into effect, many Nigerians saw a window of foreign exchange earning in the textile and garment section of the act and keyed into it.

Such Nigerians now earn millions of dollars from garment and textile exports to the US annually. Nigeria’s textiles and apparels have been granted duty-free passage into the United States’ where a large market exists for ethnic African fabrics and designs.

Cocoa butter

Like many trees, the cocoa tree produces fruit. Inside this fruit are seeds known as “cocoa beans.” When cocoa beans are crushed and pressed, cocoa butter and cocoa powder are released, both of which are essential to chocolate making. The smooth texture, sweet fragrance and emollient property of cocoa butter make it a popular ingredient in cosmetics and skin care products, such as soaps and lotions.

Because of its high stability, cocoa butter is also used in a variety of health and beauty products as well, such as lotions, facial products, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. This product is in high demand in UK and America.

Gum Arabic

Gum Arabic is produced by Acacia trees and occurs within the Sahel Ecological zone of Nigeria. We are currently the third largest exporter of Gum Arabic in Africa, after Sudan and Chad. Its annual exports are estimated at 5,000 metric tons. The highest quality of Gum Arabic—Grade 1—is used in a wide variety of food, beverage, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products, making the market for this grade of gum quite robust.

The Nigerian Gum Arabic season is December to April of the following year and the trading period of the product takes place between January and June of every other year. Newly established National Association of Gum Arabic Producers, Processors and Exporters of Nigeria (NAGAPPEN) chapters in each state have been the vehicle through which informal training has been conducted.

Cashew nuts

Cashews are found wild and cultivated in about 14 States in Nigeria but it has potential for cultivation in almost all part of the country. Actual production figure is not available, but is estimated to be around 50,000 tons annually. Over 80 per cent of it is exported raw and unprocessed to India, Vietnam and Brazil, where they are processed into kernels and sold for higher value in Europe and North-America.

In recent times, world market price of kernels has stabilized at $1.7 per pound for the benchmark grade – W320. This consumer-friendly price is likely to sustain continued demand for the product, even as new low cost suppliers enter the international market. One cashew tree produces between 200 and 300 cashew nuts in a year.

Charcoal

The cry for alternative energy source has put CHARCOAL in the forefront in the global market. A large market exists in EU, USA and ASIA with prices ranging from $700 to $800 per ton, with about 40% return on Investment. This product is virtually available all over Nigeria as many local communities have perfected the technology of charcoal production.

Some known charcoal deports are found in places like Oyo, Isheyin, Saki Igbo-Ora, Ogbomosho- all in the western part of the country. We also have depots in Jebba, Omu Aran, Egbe, Kabba in the Central States. Charcoal is found in abundance also in Minna, Jos and Kaduna. Besides, an individual can produce his own charcoal wherever he/she is located.

Cosmetics and soap

The technology and art of making soap has been with us for a very long time. It is only the technology that has improved globally, which Nigeria investors can as well imbibe. Cosmetic and soap production, whether laundry or toilet, can be carried out in any part of the country. One can conveniently set up a virile and dependable plant using locally manufactured machinery and equipment.

Apart from the big Nigerian market, one can cash in on the high demand from the neighboring countries (whose citizens travel several kilometers to Nigeria to purchase their daily essentials) to embark on export, once the quality is good and price competitive.

Gallstone

Gallstone is clay-like solid substance found in the gallbladder of a matured cow or oxen. It is about the size of a peanut and can be as big as a pigeon egg. At times, they could be as big as ordinary eggs and can weigh between 15 and 18 grammes. They are collected by pharmaceutical companies abroad for medical purposes.

A good quality gallstone should be dried upon collection of some quantity say 100g, you can then parcel them and send to buyers abroad who then pay with hard currency immediately the parcel is received. Gallstone has a well-established market in Asia and America. The market is guaranteed and can take up as much quantity as supplied without any adverse effect on the price.
25 Hottest Profitable Non-Oil Export Products in Nigeria

Rubber

The Rubber Research Institute of Nigeria (RRIN) has acquired costly equipment to act as a designated Central Testing Laboratory (CTL) in Nigeria. This accreditation would ensure that the Institute examines and certifies rubber produced in Nigeria for export.

The reality right now is that the increasing cost of sourcing rubber wood has made companies in Asia and buyers in the U. S. and Europe to search for cheaper sources particularly among rubber producing countries, of which Nigeria is a significant producer. The export market takes first quality rubber wood almost exclusively; a cubit meter of wood goes for between $250 and $350 depending on the quality

Shea butter

Shea butter or Shea nut butter is a slightly yellowish or ivory-colored natural fat extracted from fruit of the Shea tree by crushing and boiling. Sometime ago, the former Nigerian First Lady, Hajia Turai Umaru YarAdua invited Japanese Shea Butter experts to set up a factory that will train Nigerian women who have been known to be actively involved in the production of Shea butter in the country.

Capitalizing on Shea butter global popularity, Nigeria and Japan will team up to bolster female entrepreneurs in Nigeria and strengthen the country’s economy by increasing production of the nut-based fat. It is hoped that with Japan support and intervention and additional support from government, Shea butter production will witness new heights as a foreign exchange earner for Nigeria.

Sesame seed

Sesame seeds (sesamum indicum) belong to the plant family Pedaliaceae. It is an important oilseed crop believed to have originated from tropical Africa. 25% of world sesame seed hecterage is planted in Africa and Nigeria is one of the major producers of sesame seed in Africa.

It is found predominantly in Benue and Jigawa States in Northern Nigeria. It is one of the oldest food and cash crop in Nigeria which is produced in 21 states of the Federation. The commodity ranks second to cocoa in terms of volume of export and foreign exchange earnings.

Global production in 2005 was put at 2.4 million metric tonnes with China and India as leading producers. Nigeria is the 5th largest producer of the commodity in the world with an estimated production of 120,000 metric tones annually.

Garlic

Garlic is usually grown under irrigation by farmers as a cash crop in the Savanna zone of Nigeria, between the months of November and March. In Nigeria, however, reliable production figures are not readily available due to paucity of published information on the production of this crop. Garlic is a product that can earn you foreign dollars in America and EU Countries.

Chili Pepper

Nigeria is known to be one of the major producers of pepper in the world. The implication of this is that we have the good weather that can readily support the growth and production of pepper in Nigeria. There are hundreds of different types of chili peppers that vary in size, shape, color, flavor and hotness. This fleshy berry features many seeds inside a potent package that can range from less than one inch to six inches in length, and approximately one-half to one inch in diameter. Chili peppers are usually red or green in color.

Pure Honey

Honey is primarily composed of fructose, glucose and water. It also contains other sugars as well trace enzymes, minerals, vitamins and amino acids. Honey is manufactured in one of the world’s most efficient factories, the beehive. Honey is currently priced between US$ 10.00 AND US$12.00 per kilogram at international market. At the Nigerian market, genuine pure natural honey cost between N1000-N1,500 per litre.

Poultry

The term poultry is generally used to refer all the domestic birds kept egg or meat purposes. Neighboring West East and Northern Africa Countries also depend on poultry eggs from Nigeria, as the weather for the production of poultry eggs is highly conducive in Nigeria compared to these neighboring countries.

Irrespective of the abundant animal feeds, which are readily available, there is also the export potential, which has not been tapped fully. For any person or corporate bodies looking for a project that will generate income on a daily basis, poultry egg production is one of such project.

Fruit juice

The Nigerian market provides huge export market opportunities for U.S. exporters of fruit juice concentrate. Nigeria’s fruit juice market has grown 60 percent over the last five years and this growth is due to increasing incomes of Nigerian consumers, an expanding middle class, and greater health-consciousness of consumers. The federal government on the 29th January 2003 announced the total ban of importation of fruit Juice (either in bottled or packaged form).

However, investors can import such in big drums or containers as raw materials in their industries, for repacking or rebottling in Nigeria. There are lots of natural fruit in the country namely: Mango, Citrus, Tomato, Paw-paw, guava, Pineapple to mention but a few. These fruits are produced abundantly in almost all states of the Federation and available in all Nigerian markets.

Shrimps

Nigeria is one of the tropical countries endowed with rich shrimp resources. With rich organic deposit arising from runoff, the Niger Delta region is the heartland of shrimp and oil production in Nigeria; having a production capacity of 12,000 metric tons (MT) per year. The major markets for the Nigerian shrimp in Europe are Belgium, Portugal, Spain, France and the USA. All are usually packaged in 2.2-kg packets into master cartons.

Yam

Nigeria realized N56 billion (US$380 million) from yam exports during 2008 according to figures released by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC). World production of yam is 51.4 million tonnes per year out of which Nigeria accounts for an average of 36.7 million tonnes, Ghana for 3.6 million tonnes and Cote d’Ivoire for 4.8 million tonnes.

There are no specific standards for yam export, but intending exporters must seek information on the quality and phytosanitary regulations of the importing country as well as the product specifications required by the importer

Please remember, preparing for the world of international trade is a complex process. But with the proper knowledge and strategy, you’ll soon be on your way to world wide success.

Cash-crop farming in small scale is not profitable.
That's why Cocoa farmers in Ogun and Ondo got associations.

China is the world largest producer of rice, because they got lots of R and D support from their universities and government.

Just Google China rice factories .

Lots of Agro industries requires well trained Graduates with certificates, nobody should tell graduates to forget their certificates.

Agriculture is the solution to all our problems #fact

I am sure if most graduate knew this is how difficult it will be to get a job, they would have used the money spent to learn a trade and do something viable.

But like they say, "education is key"

He is a practicing engineer and he wants others to be farmers,must we all go to farm? If all the big men children were to face real and unprejudiced recruitment exercise devoid of favoritism, imbalances and influence, believe me, none of these big men children would get a role and they would all be jobless and they wouldn't come out to say people should go into farming. Fine, farming is good, but we can't all be farmers. Only a man that has lost it speaks this way.

dudebuck:

Really, learning a trade is also education. Don't see much difference between the 4 walls of a school.

All that matters is deciding to learn something and focus all your energy to it with dedication.

Bible says, " I will bless the works of your hand". Sometimes, I wish i had learnt a trade rather than the 7 years(including ASUU strike) i spent in school.

Useless and crazy politicians are not going into farming with all the money they have stolen but they want graduates who don't have shishi to go into farming. Wicked devils

When first world countries and serious developing countries are busy giving grants to students for research, subsidizing education and promoting innovation because they know the everlasting values of education and educated nations, one failure who is unable to pay salaries despite having funds and even being bailed before with huge funds is saying the opposite and proud about it. A governor who can't boost of one achievement except the purchase of a private helicopter (which is still n achievement) is still unashamed to talk. Lucky him that an average Nigeria (which is majority) is uneducated about democracy and ignorant about their rights else he would have been in orange uniform, getting his ugly behind destroyed without differentiating between a yawn or whisper when he fart.

Fascinating story about the entrepreneur Rotimi Williams, Aberdeen and London trained economist, financial analyst and reporter and later an agriculture specialist banker before he voluntarily quit his job and went into large scale industrial farming. Do you seriously believe that his story is in any way similar to the story of the average jobless Nigerian youth? This is a guy who already had considerable connections with UK hedge fund managers. You think just anybody can get up one day and source the funds to go into farming the way he did?
And if it is so easy to farm then why haven't you yourself done it? It will certainly be a more productive use of your time than throwing useless and banal insults at strangers over the internet whose lives you definitely know nothing about.

Please don't be angry if I treat you and other Nigerians like small children, I don't have a choice!

-Please go and research how much Nigeria spends on importing food every year, this will give you an idea that we do not have enough farmers!!!

-If Nigeria spends billions of dollars (not Naira) importing farm produce DO YOU NOT THINK THAT local Nigerians could tap into that market and reap some of that profilt instead of waiting for office and tie jobs?

So all you got from my posts is cocoa business?
It must be the casava you people eat making your brains not think properly!

You are low level, these posts are clearly not for you!

I am aiming for commonsense, clear thinking, risk taking Nigerians who start small and grow slowly...not 1diots who are waiting all their lives for office and tie job!

piss off please!

I reserve my comments.. But don't you know that developer countries have a balance? Imaging everybody was a farmer who would treat your family member when there are sick? Who will construct new roads that the farmer will pass to get to the farm? Who will create chemicals for the farmer to battle pest? I hope you get the picture!

The person you are talking to is a kid.

He knows nothing about Agriculture value chain.

He thinks everybody must carry Cutlass and hoe.

Africa’s largest economy Nigeria is spending 1.3 trillion naira ($6.5 billion) annually importing food, a trend that has come under attack from some of the leading voices in the country’s agriculture sector.

Nigeria is set to adopt a labour intensive agriculture strategy to boost local production of rice, cocoa and other crops, this is according to the agriculture minister, Audu Ogbeh.

Experts in the sector have warned the ministry to be careful on prioritisation of which crops to support under the new regime.

You must be incredibly stu.pid to think my comment was dumb.
It's one's choice to be a farmer, and we can't all be farmers or other sectors suffer.

Think carefully before mentioning me again.

The fact that it's your choice to be whatever you want to be doesn't mean you should not be advised to look in other areas or be shown other available opportunities.

You people are acting as if the man put a gun to your head of is forcing you to be a farmer..


You people get angry over everything just because you hate the messenger.

I don't like him or care about his personal life ONLY about Nigerians as a people - His comments make sense!

Anyone who thinks his statement does not make sense should go back to commonsense school!

okk

Mind you, i stated that the message was unedifying, we mustn't reason along before that grotd999 of a guy came up with his insults.

Main reason y ain't in support of this 2nd term syndrome
