This is area specific. A farmer shud organise other farmers close to him and approach highend buyers in that location.

You are so right because there are some produce that don't survive distance.

Happy Birthday, May the Lord of the vineyard continue to strengthen you in wisdom as you shepherds His flock in a world that has lost the sense of God.

@indigene, abeg are you a Kenyan that you are suggesting adding cabbage to egusi soup? well me l skip off tomatoes rather in addition to what u listed l love adding ground uziza seeds and scented pepper. Using Titus fish is my preference.

Good, quality and consistency. 2 major keys to success. I see ur point sir. Brilliant one once again

So you guys on ground should start working on that, to get a getter deal as Nigeria has got the market.

Rich Country, Poor People!

Amala and pomo no dey do promo but e dey sell pass cowbell. The Federal Government is bad market on its own. When the late Prof. Dora Akunyili was the NAFDAC boss, did she hire any spin doctor to 'package her achievement' but we all felt it like the air we breathe. May her soul and the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

People and their thread titles sef.
So, OP, every home has more than one wife abi?

U just photocopied my mind! Na one wife whey dey for house get all this character at the same time?

What will a child derive from this faceless toy? To me it looks disturbing psychologically!

Brilliant idea. Added that to my notepad. We need more rural farmers with up to standardize products. For me, greatest challenge is the continuity.

l believe when the crowding option where farmers of similar produce aggregate their harvest (same quality across board) as an entity they can negotiate a good price.

Here in Kenya, diary farmers are in co-operatives which negotiates the prices of their milk with milk processing plants. their are some co-operatives that collectively aggregates 40,000 litres of milk before 6.30a.m every morning which milk processing plants come and pck up and a designated centre and in the evening they come pick another 15,000 litres. The milk processing companies buy from them for between N65-N80 per litre, then we the final consumer get it at the milk dispensing machine for N130.

Consistency and quality is the keyword.

We have been analyzing the problems from different angle. Now we need solutions, way forward and interested farmers should move. Let people bring in ideas and we can all make it work. There is power in unity

Let me give an idea which has worked very well for others in another sector.

l know you have access to produce in the rural areas and Lagos is the market focus. Make out rime to visit www.vconnect.com and search for catering companies, restaurants in different areas of Lagos. They maybe over a thousand take out time to copy out the mobile phones of these contacts and do a bulksms to them offering to supply them fresh farm produce of good quality at a price that cuts off the middlemen in Mile 12.

Alternatively you can get in touch with vconnec, they can bulksms on your behalf without you bothering yourself to search. For example you can tell them you want them to send to catering companies/restaurants in specific areas e.g lkeja, Surulere, Yaba etc. l recall t costs about N3 per sms.

Be courageous and cast your net, then await the catch.

Meeting up with their quality involves more cost in production. Yes we can make it. I hate sub standard production. It irritates me. Due process must be followed during production. That's it.

But one do get a better price. Take for instance lf l can produce premium vegetable like broccoli or butternut squash in Nigeria (which is very possible) applying best practices, it will still be far cheaper than Shoprite and other big stores importing it from South Africa.

l know people complain that most of the highend clients attach strigent measures. l have no issues wit that if it based on quality because personally l won't b comfortable selling contaminated vegetables to my costumers, l must be sure of ur practices.

Most of our farmers are smallholders bt when they are in groups with uniformity of produce quality they stand a better chance especially wit highend buyers e.g if a supermarket wants weekly supply of 3500Kg of capsicum, how many farmers can meet up?

Ur tomb.

Since it appointed that we will all die, to have a tomb is even a privilege because many will never be buried appropriately, so u are free to hang around mine!

Laughing..this will be an interesting thread to follow as both sides will want to prove who is dumber!

That groom and "his trusted friends" be correct yeye men! When his children ignores providing for him in his old age he will start blaming their mother!

Since the story now has a date and venue for a legal hearing then any thought of it being a rumour does not hold water. lt shows he was not prundent with his earnings.

Politicians and their usual noise!

NaijaOptimist:
sauce?

Tomatoes and scented pepper.

As for me the character of a man should be what speaks for him. Any Nigerian, even if he/she professes the Hindu faith is the one who is going to bring back our glory as a nation l will gladly cast my vote for such a person.

Congratulations to them

Kudos guys, you did walk the talk.

That number 2 get as e be, so hen dey choose who e wan born pikin for? e mean say some roosters their lineage don close!

l recall a church that used to be near my house when they do their friday night vigil they use d open space within e property, everyone will hold a cane which they use to flog d ground with all their might as if it is where their problems is hiding!

codeworks:
Really, i mean seriously. you see future

l no be prophet o but l know wetin my eye dey see..no be today!

l hope this "bridegroom" has sorted out issues regarding his wealth, so just as this iyawo knows what she is getting let his children from his earlier marriage know theirs because Nigerian rich men like to leave mayhem behind when they die.

l look at their pictures and something is telling me it ain't right.

lt is disheartening and it is not even in GEJ's priority for now as he is massaging himself in readiness for the February electoral battle!

Just as we have Preachers of the Gospel so do we have Merchants of the Gospel. lf anyone is scammed by a pastor should blame himself.

welcome to Africa....the land of the future

With our weird mentality & double standards the future in not bright! when some men are comfortable being lazy, their wives dare not suppass them or trouble ensues!

LajaLaba:
