I greet you all my fellow nairalanders.

I am looking to set up a foodstuff business(probably wholesale) here in Lagos, either next month or two.

My intention is to source agro products from the northern part of the country and transport them to Lagos for final distribution.

Please, which northern state can one get products like rice, beans, groundnut, onions, pepper, corn, crayfish, garlic, etc at the cheapest price?

Again, how does one transport those products to Lagos?

I beg everyone who is already doing the business or knows the nitty-gritty of the business process to advise me accordingly.

I will appreciate your kind contributions. God bless you.

Am from the north too am interested in supplying food stuff to the south and east we could do business too.

Op, be specific so that one can advice you accordingly, the north is big and the things you mentioned can not be gotten from one place at cheap prices, example, you can get cheap onions in jos, plateau state, cheap yams,pepper&tomatoes in benue state, cheap groundnut in taraba etc

Thanks for your contribution. I understand these products can not all be sourced from one northern state cheaply. As you pointed out, I just want to know the state where each product can cheaply be sourced and the mode of transportation.

I can't say of other statesbut here in benue there are trucks readily available for transportation of farm produce, but due to high cost of transportation, we use to stop company trucks(this trucks don't stop on the road to pay money at checking points) that are going empty to lagos or anywhere we want. they are cheaper cos all the money goes to the driver.

And in benue, every farm product has it's own season which you can get it at cheap price

The issue with it though is transportation.
