I am a graduate but due to lack of jobs, i have made up my mind to start the sale of agro produce such as maize seed, soybeans, garri, millet, guinea corn, palm oil, rice and crayfish. The problem is, i don't have a single idea of the biz in terms of gain, loss, where and when to buy, the start up capital involved and who to buy from. I reside in lagos, ojo LG to be precise please genuine persons should see me through.

Do you want to be selling at whole scale or retail?

Firstly determine what the selling price is in ur area for all the listed foods. What are the different measurements used? How are they bagged? How many cups or buckets of what is in a bag? How is sales ie turnover like? How can they be stored to last long? Look for pple in ur area that are into the business and take time out to ask questions cos thats the best way to know the business. They are physically and practically trading not consulting from their bedroom on how to make money selling anytin.
Then look out for the suppliers who sell to the retailers in ur area. When they come to make supplies, walk up to them and strike ur bargain bearing in mind what ur margin will be like. With time and as u make money, you can travel up north to source for your products.
And NEVER EVER give anyone money to source for you or buy on ur behalf. You pay for goods that u are touching and seeing live and physically, not one picture they snapped God-knows-where.Trading and sourcing is not for lazy pple who sit in their houses and expect others to work for them while they will eat.

Thank you so much dynamic. I appreciate your advice.

If she doesn't wanna waste her money and time let her jejely find someone that trades in what she is interested in and learn the trade........Whatever you see traded big time in the cities is not child's play especially when you hear what traders have to go through to make profit

What we should do we will not do it, we will be waiting for God.

18months is very unreasonable jare. She wan get certificate? The truth is that even if she spends 10years learning, when she breaks out she will still have to take baby steps. The business of foodstuff buying and selling isnt rocket science. Stop making it look like its a miracle tin. If she can approach it in d manner i prescribed and starts small, she is good to go
