Nine (9) Important Reasons why you need to invest in agriculture.

Hello!

Welcome to yet another revealing edition of green collar. During the course of the week I came across publications that gave a good remark on the need to revamp agriculture. To this end, I came up with the following reasons why the green sector will thrive.

1.                      Nigeria spends close to N94 billion importing fish annually.

2.                      Over N305billionis spent on the importation of rice.

3.                      Only about four percent of her total budget is allocated to agriculture.

4.                      The population of Nigeria is on the increase on a yearly basis.

5.                      Over 145million people will need food to survive another day/week.

6.                      The mad rush for white collar job is on the increase, leaving a wide gap in rural population.

7.                      It is not as capital intensive as you may have thought.

8.                      It is a sure and steady stream of income business with little or no encumbrances.

9.                      For as long as production is on, money keeps flowing into your account.

 Scales of Agric business you should do

Every agric business has got a level of scale of production, depending on your vision of farm enterprise and capital accrued to you.

Agriculture as a business ranges from homestead farming to small scale farming to medium enterprise and commercial venture.

For a homestead agric farm, with as low as six hundred (N600) I made an income of Five thousand one hundred and fifty naira (N5,150) in eight weeks, selling ewedu. I put in One hour thirty minutes work per week.

The scale of agric business you want to do is a matter of choice and this is one big decision you need to make.

We would offer you assistance in coming up with a viable plan in any agric sector you want to venture into. Its just a phone call away.

Till next edition when I will be demystifying other agricultural produce.

To really reduce poverty level in Nigeria, there has to be a diversified portfolio of other sectors of the economy, other than crude oil. Each time I read submissions by key stakeholders in the economy, on the need to diversify into agriculture as an active source of revenue for the nation, the happier I get. That someone somewhere and that is probably you would take advantage of this yet to be harnessed sector of generational wealth creation.

In the previous blog post, I made mention of five things you need to do before setting up a farm. You may want to go over that.

This web log has been created specifically for you to sharpen your investment skill in various agricultural sectors and take position to ensuring steady stream of green income for you, your family, your employees and the nation at large. Subsequently I will give an extensive ‘How To’ in these various agricultural produce and how you can profit from them viz-a-viz; crop farming (ewedu, soko,ugu, maize(varieties), yam, sugarcane, plantain, watermelon, okra, tomato, etc. Animal husbandry (fish farming, goat rearing, snail rearing, pig farming, cattle ranching etc.

Let me give you few reasons why you will definitely succeed by making steady profit in agricultural venture.

The China Secret

China was able to grow her agricultural economy through massive transformation from crude practices to modern practices, even at small scale levels. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, the government encouraged firms to give out low cost tractors to small farm owners to boost their work output. In just ten years, China created multimillionaires out of these small farmers.

This may not be the same in Nigeria. If necessity is the mother of invention, then it is an opportunity for you to legitimately milk the agricultural cow with gladness.

With a population of over 150 million people and still growing, Nigeria as a nation spends just three percent of her budget on agriculture putting pressure on the food industry.

This is where you need to fill in the gap. Agriculture is not as capital intensive as you may have been made to believe. Holistically, policies need to be put in place to ensure investors in the sector reap the benefits accrued to them.

The survival of the urban cities you and I live in is a function of the quantity of food rural dwellers are able to supply.

With an investment of about Six hundred and fifty thousand naira (N650,000) in poultry birds, you will conveniently make an income of about ten thousand naira (N10,000) daily, seventy thousand Naira (N70,000) weekly and two hundred and ten thousand naira only (N210,000) monthly.

As the agricultural economy is resurging, it is an opportunity to make enormous wealth by investing to put food on the table of many in exchange for money.

In the next edition, I would show you some facts in agricultural sector and ways to go about them.

Remember you can keep that job and still be a successful farmer.
