One of the things that can make farming difficult for you is acquiring farmland not accessible.

In 2012,we hauled about 10 tons of maize � from a farm down to the buyer.

 The road from the farm leading to the main road was poor to the extent that the truck got damaged about 3 times.


The journey of a normal 15mins turned to 2 hours.

The cost we incurred due to poor accesibility was even close to the amount we were to sell the maize.


Like I always say,distance should not be the decision on where to acquire your farmland.

Afterall,what you eat this morning or what you will consume this evening is likely to be from the North especially if you are based in southern or eastern part of the country.


Farm accesibility is everything

Is it accessible?

Can you take your car/truck to the farm with no issues?

Can you transport your produce from the farm easily down to the buyer with no issues?


Fortunately,for those who are yet to make decision on acquiring farmland,our farm estates in ogbomoso, Ilorin,apomu, ijebu-igbo are the right plug for you to acquire your farm; it's very accessible


So in your decision on acquiring farmland,make accessibility one of your major decision process

Going,going

Lease or outright purchase?

Let me quickly share this for those looking for land to cultivate long term crops such as plantain,oilpalm,cashew,coconut etc

Many years ago,I saw a very good farmland in ijebu-ode to cultivate plantain.
After few findings,I approached the landlord and strike a deal for long lease of 6 years with verbal agreement to re-lease the land for another 6 years after the expiration of the first one.

We started clearing and cultivation and we got a good harvest and yield in the first year and the second year
By the third year,I got a call from my landlord that he has a buyer who is ready to buy outrightly
I was like "but my lease has not expired"

"Don't worry,I will pay you back the fee for the remaining years"

I thought "so all of my established plantain will be gone"
I was not only surprised,I was totally shocked
We scrambled to relocate the plantain stands but it was too late.
Even long farmland lease don't work in our clime here.

If you are looking at leasing,then maybe you are cultivating short term crops such as corn, groundnuts,cucumber, soybeans etc

Outright purchase gives you peace of mind and you are able to take absolute decisions on whatever you want to cultivate on your land.

#doagricitpays

After 3 years of consistent cultivation on all of our farm estates,we narrow down to few short term crops we decided to be cultivating every year these crops as a farm business

You should also consider them due to their market price stability and ease of storage
First,

Groundnut farming

Current price of 100kg of groundnut is N66k,last year it flunctuates around N55k per bag
Your target yield should be at least 500kg per acre if all things work well
We are also looking at cultivating Groundnut on our farm estate this season and we are really prepare for the post-harvest work because that's where the heavyweight of the work is.


Second one is Soybeans farming

Any day,anytime you will catch us with soybeans because it's one of our favorite.
A bag flunctuates between N30k-N37k per bag this year.
If you have at least 500kg yield on an acre,then that should fetch you some few millions on tens of acres

Then third one is Cowpea production
Cowpea is also a good crop to cultivate.
The price flunctuates between N50k -N55k per bag last year and likely to increase this year.
If you are looking at any of this crop,make sure you are well prepared for the post-harvest work.
I guess this is why the price is always on the high side come rain come shine.

Want to acquire suitable farmland for any of these three crops on any of our farm estates or you want to learn how to setup,manage from harvest to sales,we have got you covered.

My first bitter lesson as a farmer and agro-investor in Nigeria

One of the things that makes farm business fail is biting more than you can chew especially when you have great interest in venturing into agriculture

Many want to cultivate 200 acres of land but don't have the financial,human resources to cultivate 50 acres.

Cultivate the number of acres you have the resources to do.

In short start with what you can finish.

If you start and you are stuck in the middle of cultivation due to financial incapabilities,you would have wasted the initial money invested and at the end of the day would not be able to get the returns.

You can acquire 200 acres and start cultivating in 50's or 40's every year according to your financial capacity and structure you have on the farm

There are many abandoned farm,don't join the numbers.

2 Ways Farm Business Put Money Into Your Pocket (First One Is Hidden)

Just about 4 years ago,we acquire about 4.04 million sqm of farmland in ogbomoso which we used to establish one of our farm estates.

After it was surveyed and secured,I paid a visit and I was like “God,how do we get here”

Thick bushes everywhere,you can hardly see the next person 5metre away.

But something kept telling me “well,we are not using it for housing estate,we are using it majorly for farming”

I guess my mind was trying to encourage me to accept the fate.

I believe that one day,it will turn to a town or city but I didn't believe the rate of development will be so fast.

Like my Dad use to say “ the cities of today were villages of yesterday”

The said location is now turning to a town with full social amenities everywhere

Many years ago,a potential client from Europe wanted to acquired large expanse of farmland to start a farm business but surprisingly said he is not longer interested in that particular location.

I asked him “why?”

He said “ the location is undeveloped and bushy”

Recently,I did a drone video of the same location and sent to him

He was like “wow”

He was surprised by the changes that has taken place and he wanted to key in but unfortunately the expanse of land is no longer available in that location

If anybody tells you to come and buy farmland inside bush,don't hesitate.

It seems our rural side is developing faster than we thought possible as seen from all of our farm estate locations.

Apart from appreciation of our land,it is also yielding revenue for WaleAgro and all of our partners in the various locations.

First,you have your land appreciate in value and

Second,your land keep generating revenue for you till forever

Agriculture is truly a double edged profitable sword.

This is the right time to plug in!!

This is my testimony

Many years ago,I saw an future opportunity to venture into farming business.

Nobody believe but I believe in myself to take up the risks and the enormous wealth creating opportunities agribusiness present.


A friend even told me" you are crazy", you want to be a farmer?"


On my first attempt,mo lule (I failed)

I stood up and try again.

I kept trying,making mistakes,learning and making progress.

Today,the stories are different

We have paid our dues 

Like I use to tell potential farmers,agro-investors

"If you actually want to make good money in farm business,you need to make mistake, learn,try again,progress and repeat the cycle again" and have patience in going through the process


From 2.5acres of lease land in a remote village in ogun state when I started to about 800 acres under cultivation with over 10,000 acres under acquisition and still counting.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!

4 farm marketing mistakes you should not make

Recently waleagro and some of our partners who we are involved with farm management on one of our farm estates needed cash for a major farm.opeeration and we needed to offload some tons of our produce from the warehouse to the market.
Normally,we have offtakers that we call whenever we are offtaking but due to the fact that that this new offtaker offer better price for our produce,I chose him

Well,who does not want a better price for his/her produce?
I like making money for WaleAgro and our partners.That was how this buyer came to the farm to pick up.our produce.

Unfortunately,many months after,we were still begging this buyer to send in the money which contravene our policy of cash and carry; as a serious buyer who want to buy,you come to the farm to check and weigh,if satisfied with the specifications,you make payment outrightly or at most within 24hours

To cut the long story short,it delays some of the important farm operations and we still dey try settle the matter.

So first lesson,It's better to offtake to those you have an existing and smooth business relationship with

Lesson 2 you should learn from
Produce and sell good quality farm produce;When offtakers knows you with quality products,they will be rushing you everywhere.
Na Dem they rush us because theyy can guarantee that they will find quality farm produce from our warehouse.
If it's to go extra mile to procure machineries to improve the quality of your produce,please do it; it sets you apart.

Thirdly, sometimes forces of nature comes into play in your production process
There was a year we had unexpected heavy rain fall during our soybeans harvesting time and it fell heavily on our harvested soybeans.
You know when water and soybeans meet,the colour changes from.white to black and drastically reduce quality.
That was the year we sold black soybeans... lol

I was unhappy because a lot of efforts and resources has gone into it.
I had to put a call to one of our great offtakers to explain situation we find ourselves.

About few days after the call,he brought his truck to the farm, pick it up and pay for those soybeans (although slightly below the normal market price) but save. Us from the bad situation.
Many months later,I learnt how he went extra lenght to resold to some feed factories.
You need a good,long lasting business relationship with your offtakers.
They will save you during time of crisis

Fourth lesson:Have a good knowledge about the market price of what you are producing.
There are 1001 buyers ready to take advantage of your lack of knowledge of the market price of what you are producing.

Agriculture when done right can generate sustainable wealth

Quitters never win,winners never quit

During my early years as an agropreneur and farmer,I thought of given up and quit because of the challenges I faced during production

After sleeping over my thought,I decided not to throw in the towel.

Now,when I looked back,I thank God I didnot quit.

We are still facing it but we have learnt how to use our challenges to grow ,develop and propel into the next level.

Truly,quitters never win and winners never quit.
Have a great day
