Bought this half bag of oranges for N600 (Six hundred Naira not 6k) somewhere in Benue State. The orange seller by my estate gate here in Lagos sells 3 or 4 oranges for N100 depending on their size.

Annoying part is some of the sellers won't sell theirs by the end of the day.

While farmers are producing, not much is being done for further processing of these agricultural products which end up wasting.

Also, Bag of Garri N2200
15 Tubers of yam N3000

You wan chop the full bag?

Food basket Of the nation

matuskyoo7:
Food basket of the nation

So just orange and yam is what constitutes food basket of a nation? Other states like kebbi, kano, jigawa alone bring out hundreds of trailers of maize, millet, soghum, tomatoes, wheat, soya beans, rice, cows, sheeps, goats etc per day. Now those are the real food baskets of nigeria. But i still admire the farming prowess of the benue state indigines, those people can really farm. My eyes saw the most giant yams and mango in benue. How i wish they would just be allowed to farm in peace which they are extremly good at

Aquariann:


Bro na cost of transportation be the issue o. Then those animals who spends their lives on highways claiming "revenue officers" or "food produce". Then add police and army checkpoints.

But na business Wey I Sha still plan do and Wey people dey do already.

that's even the least problem. I think the major problem here is getting who to buy! When the products finally arrive. Because they are perishable items. The major problem is who to buy ? if the answer to this question is easy. Everyone will be doing it. Business ain't that easy as it may seem.

omo17:
Pls how can someone trade and make money with this oranges, Any idea?

I am from Benue and i can get you fruits, grains, tubers, seeds and garri. You can call me. Its our family business. 07038245332

suyamasta:
Shebi 1 tuber if yam for Lagos na 1k, and for benue na 15 tuber for 3k no be money be that?

Don't forget the cost of logistics (transport, loading/unloading, storage until sold, labour, opportunity cost etc.) to bring it from Benue to Lagos to sell it.

Can you list the farm produce your family is into lemme get a feel of it?

Modified.

Can it be transported to aba with ease? I mean cost wise.

Aquariann:


To be honest with you, I didn't feel the need to haggle the price. Like I was cheating her or something. Last year I got almost same size for N300 and the girl offered me another bag for same price but the one I paid for was more than enough.

Abeg is there a way u can help buy this yam and it will get to lagos

MJBOLT:

you bought half bag of oranges pineapples or banana would have been better

Why?

ghettochild:

Abeg is there a way u can help buy this yam and it will get to lagos

I'm back in Lagos already

DON'T BE LEFT OUT
WHY COMPLAINING OF MONEY
WHILE U CAN MAKEA HUGE PROFIT UNDER A MONTH
NOBODY IS BORN TO BE A FAILURE IN LIFE
YOU CAN MAKE IT TOO
FOR YOU TO BE RICH OR POOR IS IN YOUR HANDS

Aquariann:


I'm back in Lagos already

When next will u be going??

Viking007:
That's my state. We produce so much with no enabling environment or government policies/support. This is the one part I will blame the governor. If he had keyed into the agricultural potentials of Benue state the possibilities are endless. Really saddening.

This is the sad story of Nigeria as a nation...
No single fruit juice processing factory in this axis...
To buy oranges from these hardworking, honest farmers at a guaranteed price throughout the year....
Process it into fruit juice & create employment for young graduates of Benue State...
And yet we have the Gemades, David Mark, Akume, Ortoms, Suswan, Audu Ogbe, in that axis...etc
Terrago fruit juice commissioned in 2012 in Benue State was a scam...
It is cheaper to buy imported concentrate than buying from the locals... so they decide to sell it off....
From the SW, SS, SE to the NC, NW & NE... same story for all sector of Agric Biz....
Yet you want graduates to embrace farming....
So sad ......

You have a point too. One just have to look for a buyer like restaurants and be their supplier.

This are the people that should be enjoying rail services, but no, the government doesn't think about that.

Sense will not kill you. This is what a leader should have done. If I become the president of nigeria, that's what I will do

Viking007:
Do you have any 5million you are not using?

you don't need 5 million bro, if you can't manage a few thousands, you can't manage 5 million.

One of my friend started his importation with N13,500 and today he boast of. N35,000,000 revenue last year.

You might say not possible but it is... Your most important tool is the knowledge of how to turn profit to get that.

We must learn to imbibe the spirit of starting small...

introvertme:


You wan chop the full bag?

E don finish sef. Lol

Cross River State is the Largest state in the South-South Region
Shares boundary with Abia, Ebonyi by the West, Benue State up North (Ogoja,Bekwara,Obudu LGAs), the entire eastern boundary with Cameroon, down south with Akwa Ibom, &cameroon by Bakassi axis.
it takes a driver more than 5hrs to get to Obudu or Ogoja a major town from Calabar the state capital to cross over to Benue State.

Pavore9:


But new to some.

You're right

ghettochild:

When next will u be going??

E go stay o. Dunno honestly

I have a friend who is into this orange biznes, she buys from Gboko and send to Kano and she’s really making it.
She told me she started the biznes with about 10k but today she pays for full trailer load to convey her orange alone to Kano.

If orange dey kill pesin, I for don die there during my service year....




My students floods my room with oranges

Yea gats to price that in

Pavore9:
Business idea for the discerning mind.

Everybody knows this. It isn't any complex mathematics.
The problem you will have is storage. I once lived in the UK. Those guys have refrigerated trucks. I mean Trailer. The refrigeration keeps the food from spoiling. From the farm straight to the supermarket. Road is good. No porthole. No Abegero collecting money. No police particulars check point.
I know a guy who has refrigerated truck in Lagos. The compressor, engine. Everything spoilt. No money or expert to repair it.
-
In Nigeria, we don't like or know how to repair complex oyibo machinery. We just give up and throw things away instead of setting up technical schools with tools to learn how to fabricate, manufacture and repair any kind of machine.

What are you waiting for, go and mine the opportunity, that's how it's done in other countries. Or are you waiting for government or God to come and do it.

Rail system will later take care of that

What??!!

served in Vandeikya local government of Benue State and can categorically confirm this to be true. #5500 then could stock up your kitchen for the whole month. I was able to save a lot.

hmmmm
