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.

Good, keep looking. I understand the restraint of trade. It's important for people to understand certain business dynamics. What if he (Ymodulus) suffered a serious loss as a result of a sudden tomatoes glut in the market or an accident. The story will change, people will call him a fraudster.

Most people want a safe investment. However, the greater the profit potential the greater the risk. This should not be a get-rich quick scheme (agric business is not one), hence my advise to the Op to restrain himself from collecting money from anyone.

PS: Potential fraudsters are also viewing this thread to take advantage of gullible people.

Yea, there was a Time I (in partnership with some folks) wanted to finance agrobusiness Trade Transactions on a Profit sharing basis, our only requirement was for businesses who need the finance to provide us with a Bank Gurantee or APG from their Banks.....

Nobody was able to do that, all sorts of shady characters kept cropping up....

. I work in a bank, I understand everything he said about transfers, he's quite right, he's making local transfers to bdc agents and you can send as much as he stated. Most times some banks set the limit transfer as 1mil but you can upgrade to unlimited and I remember when he said his bank's customer care were calling him to verify the transfers. So in terms of his transfers bro, that's a non issue. Na d risks and logistics where wahala dey. I've known ds young man and he's a genius

Thank you very much man in suit.

There is no volume of business that cannot be done.

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.

Yes, those in cement biz will know what Ymodulus is talking about..

Peterwins:
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.

Nice story, a lot of money involved, lots of techniques on how to move the money is involved, lot of info are not been told. But in the end he made it happen, its inspiring.

What i picked from these is growing tomatoes here in the southwest. it is possible, it is happening. i have seen 5 different green houses between Ajah and Epe growing tomatoes and pepper.

Living in Ibadan ogun, osun etc, this should be your target. GET INSPIRED BY THE STORY INSTEAD OF ATTACKING THE OP. ASK A QUESTION INSTEAD OF ARGUING WITH HIM.

you're right it shouldn't be a get-rich-quick scheme and there is a lot of risk on agriculture. Every business may suffer a set back, I'm looking for someone who knows what to do at the right time. And to all the scammers, let them try. I ignore most Pms and treat any entreaties for money as if coming from a criminal. Especially when the words "Christian/Honest/Good/Suffering Family"etc crop up in a business conversation.

You are the biggest bigot ever. People send millions to Igbo boys in China, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan every second, you are here talking rubbish.

This is not about tribe, it is about "fraternity," kinda code in any circle you belong. Veracity is maintained in such circle because you own the person who introduced you to the group that debt of trust.
