jasper7:No you are the one missing the point. There cannot be a national paradigm shift in the current system of agric production if the government isnt involved. Anything short of that and you end up with an ordinary business venture that will benefit opportunists like you while the vast majority of farmers remain hoodwinked and worse of. 1 Like |

Newway2:if lever brothers and Co attempted and failed is no reason to cross hand and say it wouldn't work. All u need do is ask, why did they fail? @jasper these are fine ideas, for these to work a lot of questions and work is needed.... You would be needing people, series of research and meetings because Nigeria's present policy is set to frustrate you. |

jasper7 have you checked out the "2016 Entrepreneurship Challenge"? It's sponsored by Richard Branson and facilitated by British Council amongst others. If you need funding for your ideas, I think you should register. Deadline is tomorrow. |

Well done @ Jasper7 but do you also know that ShopRite Nigeria Limited also sales some foreign Fresh food In our Major Cities in Nigeria.....We must break that Foreign Goods Chain Then We could welcome ours and Export mightily to the foreign country just as we did it in those 90s. We have good potentials in Farm and Quality Food Production |
Re: Why I Want To Quit Farming This Year And My Plan For 2016 by chines4(m): 11:55pm On Feb 10, 2016 |
There is equally need for us to focus on food processing too. All the value chain, can't we export finished products? YES we can |

jasper7:Hello Jasper, When are we going to get our wealth creation model right. Must we always produce raw material for other nation to convert OK finish goods. Soon cocoa price will fall like oil and nobody will want to buy rather let think of converting our already raw materials eg cocoa to finish product. Instead of only thing in thinking of producing raw materials 1 Like |

Each time I look at the future, agriculture is the sure thing because our economy can never go back to those buoyant days again with only oil as the chief exporter. Mr Jasper7 I hope you haven't relented on this idea oo. I have told myself that am only working for someone for about 4-5 years after which am going into agriculture, food processing and storage full time. God bless our efforts |

Wow, thanks to nairaland, I planned on starting a small poultry. Then the borders were closed last year to frozen chicken and I got the idea to source locally bred chicken and process them. I discovered there were Farms that sell already dressed chicken, that was how I started my processing, packaging, branding and distribution business. Right now, this business pays all I and my three kids' bills, my salary untouched. And I am only working at this with 5% of my time. Have being tempted to resign but family and friends keep telling me it's too early to take that step. 2 Likes |

egopersonified:I am happy to hear about your success. It really warmed my heart this sunday Morning. May I add, if you feel up for it. QUIT! At a certain point you have to risk it. You can start creating your own network of poultry farmers. Make arrangement. It's a whole world of opportunities out here. See you at the top! |

Newway2: Gents I am very much interested. I agree totally with you that PRESERVATION IS THE KEY. If we can identify key products and establish the preservation process/implement we can invest as long as the profitability is good. We buy the products at farm gate prices (possibly at better rates), stock up and preserve and distribute to our outlets. Getting investors both local and foreign is not a problem once there is a solid biz plan. I can be contacted at aakala28@gmail.com whataspp 08032372245. I suggest jasper7 that you create a whatsapp group. |

I'm currently studying Agricultural Economics and Extension services in school.. But my parents have already given up on me.. They think I can't achieve anything in venturing into Agriculture. So sad! |

LekinsRibirth:The worst will be when you start giving up on yourself. I'm also a student of Agricultural economics and extension and up till this moment, I've never regretted studying under the discipline. Never give them an opportunity to say 'I warned u earlier'. 2 Likes |
