People are ready to go back to farming if only the killer herdsmen will stop their madness

that's very true, especially in my own part of the country, Kogi state. I'm here dying of hunger in school as if we don't farm in my village, all because of herdsman's killing.

why sweat to get money when you can make twice that money in one night? That's what youths see nowadays.

yes quite disheartening that is why human parts are sold like goat meat,pants are sold for rituals,little kids are sacrificed to gods,kidnapping, robbery, love scam,there is no morality anymore, if u send money to a business man in china he will send your goods,but let them send money to Nigeria that person receiving the money will go and celebrate that maga don pay.

Ugosample:
interesting perspective I tell you


I would have loved to invest some money in the distribution angle for agruc produce

But just as I found out, like everything in Nigeria, that sector is highly "mafialized"


Nigeria my country

The surest way to make millions in Nigeria today is via agric

But then, so many factors will be against you

But if you overcome, the sky is your limit

There are ways to boycott the mafias. It's just that we are not ready.

that's true. The reason why foreign investors are so skeptical in investing in Nigeria because they have zero trust in us. We really have a great market in Nigeria but we are just the hindrance to growth.

Lack of commonsense, illiteracy and zero global awareness means many Africans continue to write the same rubbish their ancestors wrote about food. They never learn new things. White farmers in the continent of Africa are growing crops like tobacco with globally demand, black Africans are still promoting cocoa and cassava that their primitive ancestors lived on.

Bamboo can make bio-fuel, and it can grow in Sub-Saharan Africa not just Asia.

Some of the most expensive cash crops in the world (with very little investment) are Herbs and spices like Ginseng, Saffron, Mahlab, Black cumin, Kaffir lime leaves, Cardamom. Many Whites and Asians are growing it all over Africa while their African neighbors are growing cassava.

Mushrooms - The cost and demand locally and globally is alarming

soybeans - This can make you rich beyond your dreams

wheat - Should I say more

Potatoes (Irish potatoes) - use the land for yam and sweet potato to grow it instead, more demand than sweet potato and yam, easy to preserve and export.

tobacco leaves - This is one of the cash crops white apartheid South Africans use to make billions while the blacks are busy attacking other blacks.

coffee - mumu Africans think it can only grow in South America

Palm oil - (when stupid Nigerians were planting cassava and guguru, Malaysia and other countries used it to make their emerging economies)

My own farming na Subsistent farming. Na only me and my family dey consume wetin we dey produce. The extras we give to friends and neighbors.
Can't remember the last time I bought Garri in the market and as i am typing I get a head of plantain for my boot and will harvest more next week.
If we no eat, wetin we gain

Abia state should be on that list for Palm produce, and cashew.

Your post make sense. But a lot of cussing makes it hard to digest. Tone it down.

you have said it all

So Benue state is not a major producer of any of the above? Not even groundnut o.....issorite

So Southwest states grow most of these crops and yet depends heavily on FG allocations and yet they are economically backward but still have the effontery to berate the South East who are self reliant? Yeye dey smell!!

okoroemeka:
I think the population of Nigeria has grown so much that the demand for food produce is more than supply,every farm produce is now a cash crop,imagine a sugar bag of fresh pepper is #17,000 in Enugu,who knows what the price will look like in portharcourt,calabar,yenogoa.the current youth now look at farmers with the same stereotype as our grandfather's and with betnaija,yahoo +,rituals,travelling nobody wants to sweat to make money,but I am a farmer and I like it and I will never go on strike.

hw Dat One Take Concern Me

Rubber:
Nigeria and West African has been know for the production of rubber. Rubber is harvested as a liquid called latex from the para rubber tree. The latex is gotten from the tree through an opening on the bark of the tree that is made by cutting of the tree.
The harvest is done mainly in the morning and in the evening. The collected latex are processed into dry forms so as to be able to market them. It has be proven that rubber tree can produce for over 3 years if it is well taken care of and handled

@ the bolded must be a mistake. Rubber trees are capable of producing for over 50 years profitability for that matter.

Agriculture no doubt is what can sustain a nation and also boost its economy, take for instance Egypt and Israel.The number one thing that will make you richer and keep you wealthy in this present time is farming business. There are many money-making opportunities in Agriculture. Take a look at the richest man in Africa, Dangote he has now diversify into farming, very soon he will be the number one producer of rice in Africa.,

Crop production is more cost-effective than livestock.  Don’t overlook any crop because the smallest plant like waterleaf is fattening some people's account especially in dry season vegetable farming. In-depth knowledge of how to manage your farm and package your product is the way forward.
