Are there reasons why trucks to mile12 are not available?

Thanks for your advice. Buying from the villages and selling to Urban centers is what I will try.
Conducting another market research in Lagos is not feasible for now(finance). But I am considering aggregate supply(sourcing demands from many retailers and supplying them at once).



P.S We Corp members in my Local government want contribute and buy like one bag of garri and share in order to save money. Do you know of any reliable farmer/supplier of garri that can send to Jos from Benue.
Thanks.

Sending one bag of gari to Jos isn't economical. The price difference in large markets there wouldn't be much.

thanks alot op for sharing. Am currently in similar environment:I am currently serving in one of the remote village in plateau state. Over here the major farm produce is salad vegitables like garbage, carrot, cucumber, green beans etc and also potato. During my two weeks initial break, i did market survay about these farm produce in 3 major market in lagos. It was clear that the market was developed with a lot of big trailers arriving everyday bringing carrot, carbage, cucumber potatoes etc from plateau and the north. On further enquiry from the malams, they said that the price is very volatile that prices can jump from 5k to 8k and vice verser in a just a day. They said that if i intend sending it from plateau, that i have to get someone who will be selling it for me since i dont intend saying in the market. I conclded that it is better to sale to retailers and small wholesalers since since the open market in lagos for these produced is congested. I dont have any retailers contact for now and am not going to Lagos any time soon. So please I will like suggestion on how to take advantage of this opportunity because plateau state has a comparative advanage in farming salad vegitable and potatoes especially irish potatoes in Nigeria.

You don't need to fear the competition in the market, you can start on a small scale to test the market. Prices are very volatile cos they are perishable goods-owners are forced to reduce prices for fear of spoilage. I know yams are being sold with the help of middlemen called de lali, don't know if that applies to those produce as well. Anyway, get to the market and conduct more research. If not, you can buy from farmers in your location and sell to wholesalers from urban centres. Good luck.

EMMAACHILE:
In Lokoja, rice can only be grown twice a year because of the large presence of birds who are notorious for eating up the rice grains befote harvest.
My dad once lost a 2 hectare rice farm without a single grain harvested when we came new to Lokoja.
The knowledge of locals is vital here

I've cultivated rice in Taraba and Benue and I've never had issues with birds except for few ducks in Bali and that was due to closeness to residential areas.

EMMAACHILE:
Rice farming is one of the most difficult to do. In Kogi especially Lokoja area, the rice must be timed to avoid disaster of birds consuming all the grains at harvest.
There are easier crops to cultivate.
If I must play in the rice industry, i will go for a rice mill where a 200kg rice paddy of 14,000 will produce a 150kg of refined rice (3 bags) which wholesales for 14,000*3=N42,000.
A return of at least 100% is guaranteed.

It's quite difficult but not as regards birds eating it up when dried. Concerning your thoughts about 200kg paddy being milled into 150kg refine rice, maybe you need to conduct more research.

Happy new month and independence to everyone. Nigeria is just so blessed, think of the various crops that can be cultivated in Nigeria, the abundant fertile lands and the good people with diverwe ideas willing to work. No matter the value chain you're involved in, you'll make it with adequate knowledge and honesty. My agricultural dream for Nigeria is to be self sufficient in rice and wheat production by 2030, that's a long time to get necessary resources for proper cultivation, processing, storage, marketing and consumption put in place. Now, tell me, what's your agricultural dream for Nigeria?

Has anyone thought about how profitable rice farming is? The demand for locally produced rice keep going up by the day. The likes of Olam and Ashi don't even have enough rice to mill, they are fierce competition with local millers. Coupled with government drive to ban importation of rice, aren't these enough reasons for people to go into rice cultivation? Well! everyone hears but few act. Keep pondering on how to invest in agriculture, garner adequate knowledge about the value chain you're interested in and have someone with experience put you through. I bet agriculture is great. Nigeria is just so blessed. Happy new month and independence to everyone. Invest wisely before 2017 ends.

Happy new month and independence to you all. May the month be filled with endless possibilities for you and your family.
Investment is still on for interested people. We have a package specially meant for December. Partner with us today and you'll be glad you did.

We don't even have electricity to power our homes yet not to talk of cars. I really don't wanna call nig a third world country but then we're really down the ladder of development.

Nice job, all your info is true. Got 13 big sized tubers for 2500 from Tor Donga two days ago.

The idea of having an online store would be great. Good work.

There's no way you could have spent this much in less than 2 months. The whole state didn't get flooded after all.

September is winding up, so is the year. You can still improve your finances before the year runs out. Why not get involved in marketing of produce? I can help you source good varieties at the best prices. There are many threads about yam business on this platform, contact any trusted person and get your supplies as well. If it's to get better, it's up to you.

It should be noted that Benue yams are just being harvested in small quantities at the moment and they are still fresh with high water content. That's why we ain't planning to start now but by mid November. Then, they'd be dried and sweeter. We are in partnership with farmers association in Sankera, so we are sure of getting good varieties of tubers at best prices. You can also contact me if you're not willing to invest but need tubers in large quantities. All enquiries should be sent to osfeldagro@gmail.com.

Go to Jalingo and see how it is done there. I feel it's not just right to block the road totally when you wanna pray. How are you gonna let God have his way?
