AGROBUSINESS STARTUP( Tips You Need To Know Before Starting) by maureensylvia(f): 12:14pm On Jul 18, 2021
Starting an agro commodity business is an action thousands of people look forward to someday taking.

They are highly motivated to go to this Industry due to several reasons which includes: seeing one or two persons that are doing well in this business etc.

While just as any other business, agriculture can be profitable, most people who venture into it or intend to, make little or no research on what to expect in the industry.

They believe starting an agribusiness will make them millionaires or highly successful entrepreneurs in the shortest possible time, and so, are not sensitive enough to make deep researches into what challenges, opportunities, and disappointments a lot of existing farmers already face.

They simply follow the trend, start up what a person they know is already doing, and within two years, shutdown the business to do something else.

On buying and storing, this is the process where agricultural commodities are being bought at a low price either from the wholesalers or directly from the farmers then this product is being stored and sold when the sample this is no longer in season or in the market and that time the price increases sporadically. During the harvest, It is very obvious because all farm produce is available and is in excess but later on it becomes scarce.

So many times I've been asked what are the things to expect in this business, majority are only focused on the profit factor, though it's important but that shouldn't be the only consideration.

1 Research
All you have to do is follow a step by step process in starting the business and ensure its smooth functioning. The first step is to do research (market survey),
You must find out where can you buy the agricultural products at a wholesale rate..
it might interest you to know that I'm an Agro merchant who deals and supplys goods Worldwide.


2. Technical Know-How:
This is perhaps the most important thing to know when starting a business. A lack of the right technical know-how could lead to a major loss of your investments.


3. Identifying The Products And Target Groups
The second step is to decide which agricultural products you want to sell and whom to sell to.

Stocking products according to your target or focus groups increase the likelihood of maximum sales.

4. Identifying Potential Risks:
You need to consider the possibility of environmental hazards and threats like insects, weevils.
The potential risks involved in any agribusiness must be carefully analyzed, and crucial steps must be taken to mitigate against them.


5. Available Market:
While certain farm products may excite you to venture into their growth, there may be little to no market demand for it in your community.
for example, you can't go and buy garri to sell in your location, whereas your location is in need of Sorghum and Millet.

Before you venture into agro business, it is important you explore the available market, determine its size, examine its potential for scale.

*Business is not for everyone*

entrepreneurship is risk, we all have our share of breakfast grin sometimes we feel like giving up but what keep us in business is the zeal and passion.

Most entrepreneur only share there wins and keep there struggles offline because what most people care to know is the positive results.
