Farming As A Business. by iniobong888(m): 9:38am On Jan 02, 2022
Happy new year everyone, welcome to 2022 the year is filled and pregnant with a lot of opportunities, but to utilize this opportunities you must have a change of perspective and have wealthy mindset.

In 2022, don’t just farm do it as a business. Understand the market of what you are farming, who needs your farm produces , is it for home consumption or for industrial uses ? how much will it cost to farm? Do you understand seasonality of what you are farming, there are many crops that are expensive when it is farm out of season, can you take advantage of the season?(eg. Vegetables) How many tons of harvest are you expecting to harvest ? What will be your profit ? How much will you sell? where is the best place to sell? Or industry(factories) to sell to, You should understand price difference between in the rural area or in the cities? Sometimes you should have partnership with other farmers farming the same crops, develop a synergy and do supplies to factories that need your produces , maximize your profit you work hard for it, if you don’t, other will take advantage.

Secondly, can you find a way to add value to your farm produces, you will make more money by doing this. Can you turn some of your yam into yam flour, poundo yam, yam flakes? Can you turn your a portion of your cassava into High quality cassava flour( HQCF), cassava flakes , ethanol, binder and garri? Don’t sell all your bags of bags of beans package some into 3kg , 5kg and 20kg , that would be chaff free, sand free and stone free , so imaging have this in package, it would save time for the consumer. Can you can turn your plantain in plantain flour? If you are into fish farming don’t sell everything fresh, smoke and marinate some and sell dry or even export. If you farm Irish potatoes turn some into French fries , potatoes flour. So this is just processing, you can do storaged , even logistics from your farm to city is adding value . Repackaging into small quantities is also adding value(eg Beans , that is chaff free and stone free).

As a farmer you could also make money from farm waste, rice husk is packaged and used for soilless farming, it is also used for briquettes. Palm kernel shell is used for brake part and briquettes, egg shell and snail shell is turned into powdered and use as calcium for animal feeds.
For want of space , I will stop here, as a farmer there are many ways to make money this year . Take farming as a business. Happy new year.
