ohkay... I remember I promised to talk on marketing. Marketing can be viewed from different angles. And to the best of my knowledge, the major reason fresh food producers have been unable to build a sustainable market for their goods is because of the non-existence of branding in fresh food market. Everybody just throws their weight in a public market which give room for massive displacement and poaching between suppliers and distributors. Imagine if peak milk had no name on it. and it was just a milk shared in cups. Yes, peak milk will mantain it's quality, but do you really believe peak milk will still be in business? Branding gives room for advertising and also room for easy introduction of new product. For instance, if Jasper cucumber is popular in Lagos, Jasper cabbage, carrot and watermelon will not fin a hard time selling in Lagos. Can someone tell me exactly why we don't brand our products in Nigeria? |

I believe its our distribution system that is working against us. Since the distribution system is not organised, then not much can be gotten or expected. Branded farm produce will not see the light of the day ( will not move the market) if it is being distributed under this chaotic open market system we are operating. Please note that if the packaging is gotten right. The sky is the limit. I understand people who grow broilers birds in large scale usually run into challenges disposing their bird during off-seasons but Zartech and Syed farms (ibadan) are doing creditably well in that aspect. But guess what- these 2 giants are owned and run by lebanese who are "suppossedly whites". My point here is because of our import all mentality and our belief that all that is made by whites are best. We neglect our indigenous innovations. Agricultural produce branding can not go alone except highly organised distribution centers are opened up which will seem more like a chain of agricultural fruits stores. You are looking in the right direction anyway. But remember this will cost a fortune but the pros far outway the cons. |

@saliubello. You are absolutely right. Just look at the state of the environment of most fresh food market and you'll see that it's a no go area for branded products. Nevertheless, I am of the school of thought that the we Nigerians must not continue to live and eat like pigs. we deserve better quality and healthy products, sold in a decent environment. not mile12, bodija and the rest of them. Lol Believe me, the state of those selling points is a cause of major concern to alot of people, but as my friend hotmas911 will always say "when people see problem, I see opportunity". we have to be thinking in that direction, so that our problems will be solving one after the other. 3 Likes |

I have found out one secret in my sojourn in business. If you want to make it big time; i mean you want to be earning 6 digits income monthly. You spend excessively on Branding. It comes back in 3 folds. But wait oo. How can one kick start branding for fruits/veggies? 1 Like |

Pavore9:@Pavore. Can you share with us how fruits and vegetables are distributed in Kenya? @All. If you've seen vegetable and fruits are distributed/marketed in other climes. Lets share idea on this. I guess we'll find some insight from that. |

Awesome thread. Ive. Been thinking of branding of agricultural produce for a while now. I think its a good idea that should be implemented. The nigerian mentality and environment doesnt favour farmers i.e unfair pricing transportation challenges no storage facilities etc. I and my partners are running a small scale farming operation and sometimes im afraid that we wont be able to sell at a good price due to the bargaining syndrome and i think fruit branding can be used to stop it. |
