In our agrarian communities, pervasive poverty persists among farmers, not necessarily due to land or machinery shortages but a lack of awareness to break free from poverty's grip.

Farmers must shift their mindset, moving away from traditional practices toward collaborative, productive methods. Agriculture is not a poverty invention but a lucrative enterprise fostering shared prosperity.

Recognize your pivotal role in shaping the nation, understanding the value you bring. Don't bear all the risks alone. As cooperative members, consider selling your produce before planting. Engage with offtakers, financial institutions, insurance, and stakeholders who can invest before planting.

This process, although challenging, is achievable through partnerships with banks, offtakers, industrial buyers, or exporters. Some farmers, including foreign ones, plant extensive hectares for specific industries in Nigeria, although not applicable to all crops.

This transformative opportunity breaks the cycle of poverty, fostering shared prosperity by distributing risks. Embrace this shift, and ask yourself: How can we collectively elevate our farming communities and create a sustainable future?

In the same Nigeria of much wicked people. Even buyers do not have excess to biy ahead of harvest. Instead they would shift to another ready seller. Plus atleast over 50% of agricultural produce sales are sold at credits

Planning your marketing strategy before starting your farming can help you avoid selling on credit. When you have multiple potential buyers interested in your product, you can pick the best one more easily.
