Dear Ebube,
It a good thing you want to start a business, but it obvious you barely have knowledge of this business.

The business has been in existence since BC and would continue be because people cannot do without food, irrespective of the economic conditions people must eat.

There are 2 branches of food business I am aware of
1. Raw food business (selling grains, rice, garti, beans, crayfish, egusi, frozen food etc)
2. Cooked food e.g Mama put or Buka as it called in local parlance

Which ever you decide, look for a mentor who's in the business in your current location, learn as much as you can before venturing into your own food business. It must not be Lagos, food business sell every where and any where.

All the best.

I want to leave my current location due to circumstances which I can't control and moreover business here is very slow

And I want to deal on raw and not cooked food

I have a business in agriculture. Come and be a shareholder. You can rent a house and live in the same city. You can invest just 1M as a shareholder and get your profit and returns after harvest. No online thing. Bring police and lawyer we sign agreement on my company letter head and we kickstart a business relationship. I have 20+ years experience in business. I will open your eyes to other business engagements you can do on your own with your own money like supply
