I'm someone who's interested in starting up a farm in Nigeria, so I really want to know the steps I need to take in doing this.. Google is not giving me what I need, so i believe asking here would help... please don't google your answers cause I have already done that, just speak from your mind... I await your response.. Thanks a lot

You need to have a vision of what exactly you want. Check nairaland, u will see business plans of different types of farms. Reach out to them. 90 percent of farmers on nairaland are legit

Hi. I would suggest you pick a particular sector of farming and follow a farmer who is experienced in that sector.

You cracked me beyond control, and I am laughing so much.. You will return to that google again because that google is where the main thing is. You just do not know how to use it. When you know how to use that google, it will even lead you here to threads because google has a wide scope. Oga, your first assignment is to know how to google for specific answers applicable to your case.

Use google to know about many areas and choose like the two posters above suggested. Crop or livestock. Crop is divided into grains, vegetables, flowers and cash crops. While in livestock production, you can choose from poultry (meat, eggs production or breeding). Also there is meat production from goats, sheep cattles, rams, pigs, etc. And dairy products from goats and cattle. Again, special ones like snail farming beekeeping, etc. Oh, I forgot to mention fish farming.

Oga, no one will answer you as detailed as I have answered you. You have just made my morning, and I have no choice bùt to answer you.

You may not even need huge farm like you think you need because you may not be able to afford it. And then, we will hear: "Let me start small". Lol. And at the end of the day that small may be at the back of your house. Lol. What is it called? A garden. But it doesnt mean it cannot be profitable. It can be as you will meet people who feed their families with such gardens (can be crops or livestock, or both) and are happy.

Also, there are scammers here. And they target people like you. Be extra careful.

In conclusion, you arent ready yet. When you are, you will know which area you want to start with. Of course, you will first have interests in some areas, then, you have to choose one. Therefore, you are still in the research arena. Return to google and ask well. Check threads here too. You can pick each area I have highlighted above and start checking threads here. If you do not make this research yourself, you will pay someone to teach you what he knows, and it may not be want you really want because someone else chooses for you. Therefore, return to google.

Goodluck!
