I read that the Mile 12 market in Lagos is big enough for any farmer to sell out all of his produce. If this is true, why do we have several farmers in Southwest especially Lagos and Ogun States that complain about inability to sell their farm produce?

Does anyone has a good answer to this please?

Is it mile 2 or mile 12??

The union in the market won't allow you to penetrate market without certain rite, I was in mile 12 for tumeric market survey, they told me to register or I should sell to them before the produce get to market with price of there choice.

Hmmm, quite insightful.

I read somewhere in this forum that one can sell through agents who collect 10% of selling price. Hoe true is this?

Good Q,

It very true we farmers have challenge when it come to making cash out of yur farm produce. Am looking forward to the ministry if Agric doing something about this. Until now, Government are insensitive to the challenges of farmers.

Incase some one who knows some one that knows some one that knows the French graduate who is a Minister of agric in a Country like 9ja, pls help inform the minister we farmers need what is called a produce Bank.

In other developed countries, farmers usually will take their farm produce to the Government who own the Produce Bank, the Government purchase the farm produce from the farmer and give a pay check for the purchase produce to the farmer.

This way food price is regulated by the Government as the Government usually will take the produce to the market to sell to consumers

So Produce Bank is the solution and way forward!!
