Exploring Opportunities In Agriculture: A Fresh Perspective by iniobong888(m): 1:31pm On Jan 15
Thinking Beyond the Norm:
Ever wondered why we only find sardines in tins preserved in olive oil? What if we took that idea further? Imagine packaging snails in sesame oil or exporting pepper ponmo – possibilities that could transform local markets and reach global audiences.

As entrepreneurs and farmers, let's break free from being mere suppliers of raw materials. Why not produce chocolate in Africa and sell to the world?
Africa contributes a substantial amount to the $200 billion cocoa value chain, yet it receives less than $10 billion for supply raw cocoa. It's time to add value to our produce.

To eradicate poverty in rural communities, prioritize adding value to our agricultural products. Start small – consider processing and selling semi-processed goods or finished products. Nigeria, with its abundant yam and cocoyam production, could explore opportunities like yam flour, cocoyam flour, yam cubes, or yam flakes.

Concerned about costs? Begin with commonly used machines and scale up as demand increases. Take tomatoes, for instance – farmers can turn them into paste by forming cooperatives and venturing into manageable-scale processing. This could significantly reduce unemployment and poverty in agrarian communities.

In today's economic reality, think of adding value as an income booster, especially through farm cooperatives. Simple steps can lead to significant changes in the agricultural landscape.
