If am working and getting paid why must go on buying tractor or renting cos I want to do another person job called farming?
Let another I idle person handle that so this means every busy person can't go into farming. Gov shld make it easy for the ppl into it and willing to go into it.

why are you now complaining on nairaland as e no concine you.

When your neighbours roof is on fire
You help out
Cos when the fire is done with him
Guest whose next in line
Do you think he will lift a finger when e reach you

Lol, you can't ban cattle's, what needs to be banned is the nomadic nature of the herdsmen with their cattle's atleast we still eat meat, they should rather embrace private ranching. Or will you feel happy when your eat your mother/wife jollof rice without meat or imagine egusi soup or banga soup without beef ? My dad will tell you to finish it yourself

@ finish it yourself

exportation standard and exportation bottlenecks of officials want their palms greased before allowing perishable produce out?

it's called cost of doing business. Do you not grease palm of everybody bfor anything gets done

oganology33:
Past govt hasn't done enof 2 attarct ppl 2 Agriculture. Present govt is even worse in the agric sector. The Govt nids 2 make the agric sector more attractive 4 young Nigerians.

If the govt reduces the beaurocracy involved in acquiring Fertilizers, pesticides as well as loans 4 young ppl. Another issue is protection of young farmers from large Farm bullies.

Our leaders are deliberately short-sighted. Can u imagine dat Agriculture can solve most of our major economic problems such as Unemployment, diversification, low GDP, Crash in naira, crime rate(militancy/insurgency, etc but our govts have bin 2 lazy 2 work towards it.

Little wonder y Mr. President took over the Ministry of Pet. instead of Agriculture

If government facilitate or provide those things you mentioned, will you allow government to control the price you will sell your produce? Those large farms you mentioned don't sale their produce in the rural market, they export. Individuals that wish to go into farming should think like a typical business man.

At the large scale dat is required 2 revamp our economy, the govt has 2 b fully involved.
It won't b enof 4 ppl 2 tink lyk typical business men. & the government doesn't have 2 b involved in price fixing. We're talking abt feeding our nation. Not export.

It's sad! People that have money to invest in agriculture prefer it to liein their accounts while they cry for lack of food!

People with money need to tap into that huge market!

Just not as much as them
We just need to pool it

yes, I agree but it will take a very long time as far as farming is concerned. We need large scale farmer. From 1000 hectres up...

You mustn't start on a large scale, all successful businessmen started in a small way

thomasthomas:
Why can't everybody be a farmer in Nigeria? It's not an impossibility tho. You don't need a large farm to be a farmer. You can plant waterleaf around the house even in containers.

Besides you can't use one event to generalise, Nigeria has 36 states plus FCT so if we are having problems now with one state how about the other 35? Also Benue has other LGAs that are not affected. Do we have herdsmen destroying farms too in those states and LGAs? Wired fence is not too expensive to build for around your farm to keep animals away.

To escape hunger is not through blame, everyone needs to work hard and be industrious.

I still say again, blame is a lazy man's game!

abeg leave the man. Hunger never catch us well for this country that is why everybody is waiting for a perfect agricultural policy. The truth is if you so much want to eat foreign rice and the price has gone up, who is stopping anybody from growing your own and feeding yourself. The land is there brekete.

I wonder people complain of foreign rice being expensive when there is local rice.

If you must eat rice, eat Abakaliki rice forget Thailand rice if you can't afford it

Better still, grow your own.

For me, I can make do with subsistence farming but to overcome this food shortage, then huge amounts of money needs to be invested.

Some Nigerians who steal money and keep abroad should bring it back and invest in agriculture. There has to be food. Government too at all levels should give out loans to small farmers to become big as well!

You can't imagine how large the farm I always dream of having. I just want to cultivate one LGA out of the 774 LGAs in Nigeria only me.

then gada 1000 farmer investors. First bank has over a million shareholders getting peanuts from their investment. I won't talk about other banks and insurance companies. All this 12 kobo dividend on 70 naira investment when they can double their money in Agric.

Imagine Catholic church coops investing in farms.
Teacher coops
Civil servant coops
Police
Army
Nlc
Coca Cola, Nnpc staff coops
Start somewhere
Grow
If you like give 9 women belle
Na still 9 months you go wait. To born d pikin

cindybella101:

There are many states that are doing well in terns of agriculture, states like Benue, taraba, nasarawa, Ebonyi, anambra, bauchi, osun and Ogun e.t.c they just need to be empowered by their respective government and watch as we stop complaining of high cost of food. Our overdependence one oil has taken away most of the sense of our politicians, they are only concerned on how to share the oil money. And lastly, about your post, the activities of those murderous herdsmen does not hamper food supply rather it deals negatively with food production cos nobody is producing/planting anything talk more of supplying.

Shalom

I love you cindybella101...whether you farm or not

What do the various Agricultural agencies of government doing sef? It's only FG that you will hear talking of farmers, the LG don't do anything concerning farming.

We need more farmers to give us more food instead of crying about the high price of imported food!

LG are appointed by governors today.
They only conduct election 6 months to passing out after 2nd term. And new governor Will sack them and appoint his own ppl so they don't control any budget. State claim they're administering projects on their behalf.

So unless you are appointed and you have ambition most lga chairmen Just chop dia own and Hope they are ''promoted '' like wike that was made minister and is now governor.

Sad but hopefully we Will change these anomalies

If the LGAs get their allocations straight to their coffers from FG, elections to the councils will be interesting and good candidates will contest and development can really be micro managed at that level.
