x240: At the emboldened, this is more than possible. I send trucks from different parts of the country down to Lag without escorts and nothing happens. Risky I take it but there's like an unwritten code of conduct amongst drivers, especially the ones you get through Dan Commissions. Your goods are safe. Risky but possible. Love your skeptical approach though! 6 Likes |

My sincere advise to the OP @Ymodulus, please do not collect any money (or be tempted to) from anyone (especially from Nairaland) to do this business on their behalf. Business is not for the faint-hearted especially when dealing with perishable goods/commodities. Also this business is seasonal (the law of demand and supply applies) and therefore the profit/loss potential will vary based on the season when the trade takes place. Protect your integrity. I laughed and smiled at the ignorance displayed by the guy(s) that doubted your story. If not the fixation on oil and gas, Nigeria would have been an agricultural giant. 19 Likes 1 Share |

Kudos to you guys, but for me, taking over N100m for perishables is bullshit.
With N100m in Lagos, mega profit is certain.
Kudos to you guys once again. |

Peterwins: Peterwins in every other climate, getting investors into your business won't be a tough thing. But this is Nigeria, where there is little legal recourse. Nor everyome can run into business themselves. People have a right to be sceptical. I'm currently speaking to someone whom her job is to invest on behalf of her clients (she's handled large portfolios and her last big investment was in Mining and Solid Minerals) and I've been looking for some agro businesses to invest it and help expand the business by linking them to my contacts. Nothing has come up clean. I guess I'll keep looking. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Agriculture in Nigeria is a gold mine. For example, Just imagine the potential for rice farmers, millers, etc if the FG totally bans the importation of rice with customs check-mating smugglers . We have arable land, good climate and huge domestic market (consumption) to sustain local production. Well, Dangote isn't sleeping: http://dailypost.ng/2016/04/06/kaduna-investment-summit-dangote-to-invest-10million-in-tomatoes-plant/ As the two-day Kaduna Investment Summit opened Wednesday, Chairman, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, disclosed that his company will be investing $10million in tomatoes production in Kaduna State. 2 Likes |

x240:This is pure ignorance, this aint bananas, it's a large scale transactions. In international biz like this most farmers sells to contractors, you can't just walk to the farm to get the product yourself, you buy thru organised dealers. The contractors (market heads, dealers etc) acts as intermediaries btwn the buyers and the farmers. However, wtf said they can't transfer N100m?! Those peeps can manoeuver money dexterously. I.e they do have multiple bank accounts for seemless transactions. Don't be suprised if you brought a fidelity bank card and they provide you with fidelity bank accounts. It is possible bro. 2 Likes |

x240: Hello, I have been following Ymodulus's Thread, and I will understand why Businessmen dont tell people how they make money. I personally may not want to tell because you are going to bend some laws. About the money transfer process in this particular Tomato thing, do you know something they call Hawala?...I can help you transfer 10 million dollars to any location in the world, and you will get the money in 5 minutes.. So, Its actually a cakewalk for Ymodulus to move millions across the border seamlessly. About the Logistics of the 7000 baskets, and not following the vehicle, let me tell you something, Trust is crucial in Business, there is no way you can really scale without taking the risk of Trusting someone or a system..its that simple. I have delivered Tens of Trailers of 900bag/Trailer Dangote Cement to Clients that did not mobilize me, have never seen me all seamlessly. It should also interest you that MY supplier has never met me before, and I never gave him a dime before he did all those deliveries on my behalf...While it might seem risky, It was all based on TRUST. The people you collaborate with to do business must be people of very high personal integrity, From your Clients, to Yourself, To your Suppliers. So I am not surprised that Ymodulus was able to do all these without breaking a sweat. I am only surprised that he actually gave details of how he did it. 39 Likes 4 Shares |
