Gari processing, buying and selling i can be of help. Whatever you want to know. Palm oil which i believe is red oil is planted and processed in my village in Ekiti. But unfortunately i m not that conversant with that area. The little i know is that between January to May, people buy and store in jerrycans.

With the gari, i will link you with people in the village that will make the gari for you in bags. What quantity would you want? You will need to pay a visit yourself. See the measurement, the price, the quantity and consider the transportation. Make sure you have done your own survey where you want to sell. Network with the market woman for better price

A bank known as the Bank of Agriculture,owned by the Federal Government of Nigeria is giving out loans to genuine farmers who can prove their genuineness.The F.G.N has provisioned N200 Billion as loans to farmers and the steps to access the loan are straight forward if you are a genuine person with genuine intentions.If you are an unemployed Nigerian graduate looking for paid employment,pay attention to this post and take a step of faith to key into it.

The steps to obtain the loan are as follows:
1) Locate the office of the Bank of Agriculture that covers the area or local government area where your farm is situated and open an account with the bank with a minimum deposit of N3000.00

2) For the ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) requirements, you must present your NEPA Bill which confirms your place of residence + any of the approved means of identification such as International Passport, Drivers License, National Identity Card or Voters Registration Card.

3) Other requirements are:
Complete and signed account form
Complete and signed mandate card
Present 4 passport photographs of yourself

4) You must run and operate the account for at least 3 -6months before applying for the loan. Do not think that you can just open the account, abandon it and show up after 6 months for the loan. The loan is not the usual national cake and the bank, newly repositioned, is not fooled. If you play that old game, the bank will doubt your integrity and commitment to repay the loan if granted and that means you may not get it.

Running and operating the loan means that you make it an active account. This means making sure that you save money and withdraw from the account on a regular basis. The bank wants to see that there are transactions going on in the account. Therefore, you should make regular deposits and withdrawals on the account during the 6 month period to create an active relationship that makes the bank have confidence in you.

5) You must have an existing farm, at a fixed location and the farm must have its record of operations and activities on a daily basis neatly kept. The era of armchair farmers/political farmers/farms of no fixed address/classroom farmers are over. The bank will visit your farm for inspection when you apply for the loan.

6) The bank will check what you have on ground; see how far you have gone; what the loan is required for, and ensure that the loan is appropriate for what it is required. The bank wants to know whether you have an adequate knowledge of your area of farming business. You must be able to demonstrate the practical hands-on experience in your area of farming. The bank wants to know whether you have a project you are working on and the fund requirements. And within a month of the inspection, the loan will be approved if the bank is satisfied.

You can obtain a loan of N250,000.00 from the Bank of Agriculture without any collateral.With this amount,you can set up a small backyard chicken business that will pay more than the elusive salary job you are seeking. Some graduates earn N15,000.00 monthly in the name of earning a salary.What a pity!I will show you how to go about setting up a small chicken business with as low as N100,000.00 if U visit 1st signature below

Very good to know. But I can't go through those rigorous process for only 250k. Believe me, such amount is for subsistent farmers, purely short term investment.
Farms are always located in the remote areas. As such, cost of transporting law materials to the farm and finished products from the farm would take high percentage of your target profit.

And you forgot to even find out the interest rate and duration?

There is very big future in agro-allied industry - trust me, but venturing there with mere peanut will simply frustrate your farming dream, if you ever need to survive as a commercial farmer, under loan.
Ridiculous, were will a crop farmer head with that amount, say the mentioned yam farmer?
What if one need to acquire more land for expansion, as they put it?

Our government is not serious about agriculture. They are politely ridiculeling graduates, who are not even thinking of catering for a family within a decade.

Yam business is very profitable. for a comprehensive guide on how to start yam farming,storage and marketing get the ebook for N3000 or check my profile for or google.
