Hello, am into pepper, tomato, Ugu and cassava farming in Ijebu-Igbo area of Ogun State. My major problem is marketing, now I have about 2 hectares of cassava ready for harvest but there is no reasonable buyer yet. Can you assure that with training you are embarking on this proble will be solve?

The market guarantee we have is for those that stay withing the same area with the cluster.

We have standard and quality to meet which we can not guarantee at the far distance

samuel25:
Don't be offended with my question. With your training, are you guarantee the trainee access to profitable market after the training. Attending training is not a problem but aftermath of training. Many trainings in Nigeria are after training's fee and not success of the trainees. Market is the major challenge of most farm produce. I have tried tomatoes before, I was frustrated out of it by annoying market price. what make the training unique. Agriculture or farming is sweet on paper and or proposal, but reality differs.

Our training guarantee steady access to market for vegetable production.

We have a cluster that supply SPAR and we are really struggling to meet up with the quantity demanded.

Out of 132 list of fruits and vegetables demanded on continuous basis by the store.

Our team currently produce and supply 3 of Habanero (Yellow and red) sweet pepper (green colour)

However cluster members are all in the same place to guarantee management and prompt production

Yes. There is guarantee market at reasonable price

Exporting The Jobs..
I remembered when shoprite open their first shop @Ibadan.

It generate a tough arguments on nairaland.

"Who will patronise them? Some asked

" Ibadan has low purchasing power, others maintained

But surprisingly, shoprite open another outlets in Ibadan less than a year after the first one was opened.

And today we can all testify to how many outlets they have all over Nigeria.

Surprisingly why millions of Nigerian youth roam the street in search of non available job, the available jobs are daily been exported out.

Let me take you through a walk to the fruits and vegetable section of any of the chain stores.

There is no time you get there that you will not get an array of fresh fruits and vegetables well displayed on the shelfs

But why Nigerians are jobless, some farmers are producing this fruits and vegetable from neighbouring African countries like South Africa, Ghana etc

Then it gets air freight to Nigeria, the giant consumer but non producing of Africa

The imported fruits and vegetables are paid for in dollars..

In the production chain, we have...
* Farmers
* Transporters
* Parkers
*Cleaners
* Security men
* Ware house service provider..
* Seed sellers
* Harvesters

And all sort of workers whose needs and want of job are filled along the line.

But here on our soil, our youth see farming as old man job, dirty job.

You now see how jobs get exported outside the shore of Nigeria.

We have the land
We have the resources

What we lack is human resources and proper coordination to form the system.

Congratulations

bassey25:
that's totally impossible. how will you plant an acre of land with cassava with 400k. please go and do your research well again. haba mallam! haba

I am guessing No.

I learnt not to argue with internet mouth farmers.

It save me so much data and time

Let's discuss better when you start farming

Cheers

I will suggest you set some few months aside to go get some practical experience and the whole details about how the vegetable production and system work on Nigeria.

Please forget any internet suggestion or plan you might get from anyone.

The best way to understand the system is practise and experience by yourself.

Then you can determine what and what will be good for you

what's your expert opinion on this and what are the possibility of returns

Don't dare go to farm without taking time to understudy a cassava farmer for minimum of a year.

Yes.

Minimum of a year

Anything less will be throwing your money down the drain.

Forget the internet advice, suggestion and guidelines.
Reality is quite different

The school system did not actually prepare the agric graduates for the life after school activities.

So many farms are in need of farm managers which a Nigerian University graduates know nothing about.

To absorb a graduate, the companies need to re train them again on what it entails to be an agriculturist

Starting out alone is not as easy as people make it to be on paper.

Reality in life us different from the rumours

I will suggest you attach yourself to a company, farm etc to gain more practical experience before setting out on your own.

You will be saving yourself some tonnes of naira.

Just my own opinion

olurich01:
