| I Want To Invest In Your Agricultural Business by DawsonCole: 4:08am On Oct 24, 2023 |
Hello!
I am a Nigerian, passionate about Nigeria and the growth of Nigeria. I am very well aware that agriculture is an integral sector for the sustainable growth and development of any society. I have come to realise that many Nigerians do not like farming, do not like to produce, but rather want to consume. Sadly, we cannot grow this way as a country, and even more sadly, unemployed and underemployed Nigerians still do not see agriculture as an option. How bad if you ask me.
Growing up as a kid, farming was something I really enjoyed doing. I was actively involved in the cultivation of beans, corn, groundnut and potatoes. Several times, produce from the small farm in my family compound saved us from hunger. In the mornings, I will stroll to the farm at the back of the house, harvest some potatoes, go to the kitchen, wash the potatoes, peel off the back, wash it, fry it, and breakfast is served!
Right now, due to the nature of my work, I cannot directly be involved in farming, no matter how hard I try. As a result, I have thought to support (by investment) local farmers who are highly passionate about agriculture (prefereably someone with a degree in the Agricultural sciences or related field) and has some experience in agriculture. A degree in agriculture may not be needed if the person can prove that they have at least 3 years of continuous experience in agriculture.
If you are (or if you know anyone who is) highly interested in agriculture (whatever type - but prefarably cocoa, rubber, palm oil, diary, or similar high value agro products), kindly invite them to this thread. They should say what they are currently doing, provide pictures of their farm if possible, and say why they need investment in their business.
Modified:
1) I am interested in funding a young person interested in agriculture.
2) I am not interested in funding an already established company or corporation.
3) My target is young entrepreneurial Nigerians with interest in agriculture.
4) I am not interested in someone who is actively seeking some other form of employment - who will abandon the farm when they get a job somewhere.
5) I am not interested in funding someone who is actively making plans to migrate from Nigeria and abandon their farm.
6) Previous nairaland posts showing interest in agriculture will be an added advantage.
7) Women are encouraged.

While I'm not into any of the ones you listed. I'm into beans and corn. One fact you should know is this, there's no area in agriculture that is not profitable. I've been doing it in my own capacity for the past nine (9) years. My beans farm will be ready for harvest soonest.I can invite you to come and see practically and then, make your final decision as regards investment. It's a very profitable business if you have the wherewithal DawsonCole:

Good day sir, I'm Open to your opportunities, I studied Animal production technology, and I have experience in vegetables too. Funding has been a delay in my growth, however, I want to start vegetable farming for the rest of the year to survive and provide for my family and go to full farming in next year farming season. I have access to lands and I presently have a nursery pepper plants ready to transplant.
I'm Open to sponsorship to make me self employed and self sufficient.
Thanks for the opportunity sir |

Nice one. But do you have the knowledge needed to select the right person to support? Farming is a business that can either bring a profit or result in a loss. If you team up with the wrong person, then you might sustain a loss and be discouraged. I wish you the best. 1 Like |

So I said if I see a financier, I will go fully into exporting of the products. I used to rare broilers before but relocated to L:agos. I can send the video to your email. |

Looking at the comments, I am not sure people are taking the time to read my original message.
Comments such as "I am a farmer, I need the investment" does not justify why you need to be invested in.
The thing is, if you need someone to invest in your business, you have to put in some effort to show why your business deserves to be invested in. Simply put, you have to stand out.

No picture of any farm yet. No one giving any "detailed analysis" on what they need money for. No one is talking about the exact things they want to spend the money on, and the exact cost of the purchases they intend to make. Evereyone just needs money without having any "clear-cut" goal or plan for the money.
I will monitor the thread for a few more days, if nothing serious from anyone, I'd sadly have to close the thread.

My name is Felix.
My wife & I run a small livestock farm which we would love to expand. At the moment, we are at 50 broilers capacity and they are organically grown for a maximum of 8wks before being sold here in Gwagwalada, Abuja.
A support would be very well appreciated.
Attached is the estimate of how much we could make if we could scale up to a hundred broilers being sold monthly.
We have the capacity to raise 100birds monthly and enough space to scale up to as much as 200 monthly, right here in our compound.
we already have clients who sell on retail and customer based during festive seasons.
our contact is 08055531228.
Thank you & we hope to hear from you soon. 1 Like

If you are (or if you know anyone who is) highly interested in agriculture (whatever type - but prefarably cocoa, rubber, palm oil, diary, or similar high value agro products), kindly invite them to this thread. They should say what they are currently doing, provide pictures of their farm if possible, and say why they need investment in their business.
Modified:
1) I am interested in funding a young person interested in agriculture.
2) I am not interested in funding an already established company or corporation.
3) My target is young entrepreneurial Nigerians with interest in agriculture.
4) I am not interested in someone who is actively seeking some other form of employment - who will abandon the farm when they get a job somewhere.
5) I am not interested in funding someone who is actively making plans to migrate from Nigeria and abandon their farm.
6) Previous nairaland posts showing interest in agriculture will be an added advantage.
7) Women are encouraged.
Extra:
If interested, kindly share your profile, and pictures of your farm (if you have).
Good afternoon Mr. DawsonCole. I'm 'Pinknature' 22 years old, an ND holder in SLT and currently a 100 level student in the university, studying radiography. I school in the north central. I am passionate about agriculture because I see a lot of potentials in it. The state where I school is a state where agriculture is taken seriously, it also shares boundary with Benue state and I have friends who are from Benue and are actively involved in agriculture with needed experience to put me through. Going into this venture will be a dream in coming sooner than expected because I've always told myself that I'll go into farming (As a kind of hubby/ hustle) when I graduate from school. I would have started on a small scale, however there are certain limitations which are before me, capital being the major limitation. Rice farming, millet farming, yam farming are some of my main area of interest for start. Livestock farming ( Goats and Chickens) also within my plans. A piece of land is available, close to my house back at home, however it will constantly be plagued by wandering livestock because the piece of land isn't fenced: a local fence constructed with wood can solve this problem. This available piece of land can readily solve the possibility of land unavailability if I'm considered, but rice farming may not work for this proposed piece of land, so we're left with yam, millet and corn farm. I will however like to start my agricultural journey within my school locality as it will give me more time to monitor my farm, learn more and give first hand updates about happenings in the farm. I will be able to get a land on lease within my school locality.
I love for agriculture was reignited when I taught agricultural science to junior secondary school students from 2021-2023 (sept-april) as a subject teacher. My agricultural experience: farming maize on a small scale on the piece of land close to my house. I faced some challenges, like not having the needed fertilizers in the right quantities and the constant disturbance of livestock on the farm.
Yeild wasn't too bad: aside from the fact that the maize were smallish in size.
Embarking on this journey will make big deal in the trajectory of my life and seeing your dreams coming to pass sooner than expected, while getting experience in the agric line along side making profits that agriculture guarantees if all goes according to plan.I sincerely hope I'm given kind considerations. Thank you sir for this opportunity. |
