You have the most needed info about agriculture here - storage!
I think Nigeria must have surpassed food sufficiency years ago if there are standard storage infrastructure in the nation.
Nearly all farm produce are in excess during its harvest time and scarce just few weeks later. What is sold as cheap items are actually items that are not stored for the future.

I will predict that the future agro-millionaires may came from storage of farm items. Innovation is another thing we lack.
A cow is sold for about N60,000 up north but here in Lagos it goes for N130,0000.00 Anyone who will device a means of conveying butchered cows from the north to west is in money.

Egg are thrown away now for lack of buyers so also tomatoes, okro et al.

dboss444:


Nice 1, you need to see how tomato sellers throw their tomato away whn nobody buyes, it's painful but I always wonder what we cn do about the situation

Blackkie:
Innovation is the only answer.
We need to shift to storage ideas that works in divers dimensions.

dboss444:


I said 19k
Send me your watsapp number so I cn send you pics 2 confirm if it's d spec you are talking about

dboss444:


Do you have innovative ideas on how to store food items apart from the normal method of storage

Olayimikami:


We communicated.

Seems what you have available as sent is peeled egusi. While I haven't been able to confirm the bag size of the egusi, it sounds way too cheap to be realistic. However, this creates an opportunity for sale in Bwari, Abuja and environs if real as a modu of peeled egusi is N500 in some markets.

You may wish to post a pix of the sack here so we can ascertain the size and make market decision

pls @ olayimikami I want to join u in dis biz hw much can i start with? and pls I need to add u on my whts up as well or better still u add me 07064528232.tnx

Olayimikami:


Will add you up.

Please note that agric storage/hoarding is not a get rich quick scheme as there are risk involved, and if well mitigated and hedged; appreciable profit can be made. The only thing that sets you up for failure is greed when prices move north and you want to over maximize profit.

Waw oooo!Quite inspiring!Mehn our ppl in Benue things are cheap there ooo.Benue and Niger states which sells yams cheaper?Also which states do we buy garri at cheaper rates in bags?Tanx!

Olayimikami:


Benue is definitely cheaper. Niger? Not a popular option. Think Saki in Kwara/Oyo? Or Lokogoma in nasarawa are other alternatives depending on proximity

Kamkamdd:

tanx bro!Sori 4 dat long journey witout getting wat u wanted.Mi destination is port harcout.So whc do u think will be cheaper from d locations u mentioned?

Olayimikami:


Lokogama in Nasarawa is the closest to you. However, do confirm variety eaten in PH before purchase. Likely "Makakusa" or "Benue 1"

Benue though has the beauty of having more varieties to pick from
