kayjegs: If you want to go into vegetable farming, check this thread and you can buy my book which explained everything about it including the cost and profit analysis. There are some other agribusinesses you can do.

I ADVISE YOU TO FIRST START WITH CASSAVA AND HAVE A PILOT SCHEME FOR YOUR VEGETABLES... THIS YOU CAN DEVOTE TIME TO ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS AND OTHER FREE TIME... CASSAVA IS NOT THAT TIME CONSUMING LIKE VEGETABLES... YOU CAN CONTACT ME VIA OLUSHOWUNMI2@GMAIL.COM FOR MORE ADVICE...

ZACHIE: Go all the way, bro.
But to Vegetable, add animal husbandry/midwifery. you won,t go wrong. But wait, your farm is in Benin, what palns do have for moving stuffs to Lagos preferably? You need a market apart from your immediate environs.
Work on it and also work on an extra income, especially TEACHING
all the best

Anvaller: @OP
That dude is about to take a very risky decision. I would advise him to only venture into such if there is a way to still keep is job. I was a farmer too so I am not talking blindly. The least profitable level to be on the supply chain in agriculture is primary production and it is the most hectic and time consuming. That is where u want to resign and go..? I have been there b4. Right b4 ur eyes, u will see other ppl on the chain e.g transporters of ur product, bulk buyers and retailers making 5 times the profit u made per unit. I am not saying u cant make profit as pry producer but u have to be sophisticated, that means u will need huge capital and skills too cos he's an accountant isn't he?. In most cases, ur revenue will only manage to cover cost of production. For some one like you, labour is not cheap in Nigeria, you will spend a lot on labour.
My advice, instead of looking only at farming, look at the possibility of trading agricultural product, buy commodities wholesale and sell to retailers. The guy has a hilux u said? So he is almost there then. In that way, he will make profit within short time with less risks.
Good luck.

jmoore:

Do you know the number of people that eat cassava daily? Your poor management skills failed you

mrvictor:

Smart Businessman! So after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, you went into farming without reading anything about farming? Interesting!!! Thank God you didn't go into installing NEPA power transformer or flying an aeroplane after reading the book.

I think you failed in the business because you didn't gather info about farming before venturing. As much as I know, Farming is a very very good business!!!
I rest my case.
