I wonder how far should a farmland be to the city..i had this thinking because it seem funny how some potential farmers think a 3 hours drive from their home in Lekki/ajah to their farm in Ogun state on a tarred road is far. I do beat my chest and tell anyone to go ask around and compare our price with any other farmland in ogun state, especially obafemi-owode, ado-odo ota and ifo local governments which are close to Lagos and Abeokuta.
we need to put a lot of things into considerations when choosing a farmland location, most important among this is a government free land. no body no matter how highly place can win Government over their land. others include:

Cost: A farmland should be reasonably cheap

Location: Your farmland should have good accessible road network. This is to enable smooth movement of your farm produce to market.it should also be sited not too far from where you live, this is so because of emergency or unplanned visits. a 3 to 4 hour drive is not much atall. You should consider how far your farm is to the market, are you ready to pay enduring government and thug fees before you reach the market? you will be shocked at the mountain of taxes and fees collected by federal,state and local government on most of Nigerian roads on farm produce, add this to transport cost and you will be left with little or no profit not to even mention the stress you do go through and God help you if your produce is a perishable one.

Time Lapse: Yes there is a time lapse for every farmland, my fellow farmers understand this better. Every farm has its own expiry date and this is always due to village or community development. As the community develops, resident will start to put pressure on you to move your farm away from their community because of noise or smell or both. In other instance, they will tell you to harvest your crops and start planning on how to cut your acres of land into plots of land so that the community can develop as people want to move into the community and your land has to give way for residential building. do not be surprised stuffs like this happen.

Network and Labour: There are some remote lands where cellular network has not reach. how comfortable will you be if you do not have instant communication access to your farm workers..huh? or are you the type that say...'oh my farm is a plantation farm and i do not need network coverage around there'...wait till the day thieves or natural disaster or pests invade your farm and those around your farm can not reach you early enough to stop further destruction. a wise farmer knows the importance of instant/easy communication. You also need access to laborers and casual staff.

Security: How many farmers have the fund to erect fence round a 50 acres land or even 3 or 5 acres..huh? truth be told most of us leave our farm UN-fenced, we do rather divert the fence fund into farm expansion. So what security there is for such farms without wire or brick fence, the answer is good neighborhood. produce theft thrives in a community where there are no strict laws against theft or a location where your farm is the only one there and the nearest village or farm to your is about 1 hour away. that is your farm is in a solitary environment, even if you fence it will be broken. You need a location where farming activity thrives and community is not far from it, in fact there are some farmlands that circle round host community.

These are some of the factors we consider when we search for farmlands because we are farmers ourselves, so if this kind of land is what you desire then you should know we are the right person to talk to.

This is not your typical truck thread where you are enticed to buy trucks and sit back while you watch your investment grow… NO. This thread is to give you the most inner shrouded details about truck haulage. If you are not a patient investor do not go beyond this paragraph.

As a matter of fact transport business is the 3rd most lucrative business in Nigeria after oil and ICT. There are over 180m Nigerians that need to move from one point to another or carry goods. Whether you live in the rural arrears or in the city you must make use of transport. So the question I know you must have in mind now is why is the business so difficult for an investor to make any meaningful returns from? The answer is simple: GREED and IGNORANCE, greed on the part of the managers as they want to reap more than necessary and this comes about because the investor himself does not know much about the business which is where ignorance comes in.


Are you looking for a business to invest your money that guarantee and protects your capital?

Are you looking for an investment that does not require your time or presence and gives you both monthly and yearly returns up to 60%?

I am not here to sell manual or e-book. I want to share this knowledge and idea to all nairalanders and guests. This will help you know what is going on with your investment and from experience, truck managers and drivers always respect investors who know much about the business. They will be careful to give failure excuses or dupe you. This is what I do. I am a transport enthusiast and manager…

Stay tuned...
