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.
