1. ASSESSING THE VALUE CHAIN IN AGRICULTURE There are multiple rungs and links in the agric value chain vis; Crop and Animal production, processing and export. The opportunities are huge and vast. We cannot exhaust nearly on this treatise. Factors that make agriculture viable • Everyone eats food and has need to utilize other derivatives from agricultural activities e.g. hides and skin, glue, wool, pharmaceuticals etc. • Population; the growing population of humans gives an advantage to profitability in agriculture • The tedium and careful effort required to engage agriculture makes few people willing to fully deploy. This creates an opportunity for many who would to involve • Government fully gives support to agriculture, it is the only business that civil servants are allowed to engage legally • The drive of government to diversify the economy coupled with grants and intervention programs in support of agriculture • Increasing demand for Nigerian agro products Opportunities in Agriculture include but not limited to: i. Cropping e.g. Arable crop farming, cash crops, fruits and veggies ii. Animal husbandry e.g. poultry, fish, snail, ruminant and bigger animals iii. Processing; animal feed production and agro milling e.g. garri, starch, palm oil etc. iv. Agricultural produce marketing and distribution Challenges in Agricultural Practice i. Lack of technical knowledge ii. Non availability of operational space iii. Finance iv. Availability of skilled labor v. Acts of nature vi. Poor knowledge of marketing However these challenges can be mitigated effectively 2. ACCESSSING AND BUILDING A COHESIVE VALUE CHAIN IN AGRICULTURE Every agricultural produce can be transformed into a more valuable product through processing. One can decide on any or many to engage. For example cassava has over twenty derivatives that can be obtained like ethanol production, starch, animal feed production, pharmaceuticals etc. Such chains can be found and operated in virtually all agricultural products both in crops and animals. Investment Opportunities in Processing • One can make money in processing. Processing garri from cassava can earn you quite some income. You can decide to buy cassava tubers from farmers and process into garri. • Setting up your own processing plant to provide services to processors • Same processing plants can be set up for oil palm, feed mills, production of yam flour • In the animal sector, a lot of money can be made for animal processing. Deploying of kilns to dry fish for the huge market. • Investments in hides and skin production are also viable 3. UNDERSTANDING MARKET NEEDS Every agricultural produce is on high demand in Nigeria by reason of population and other needs. Each region in Nigeria has agro products that have comparative advantage that can be supplied to another region. Example palm oil is vast in the southern part and need in all parts, the north has lots it can deliver to other parts as well. Investment opportunities For export purposes, numerous multiple agricultural products are in demand by other countries. • Yam is in demand by UK and USA among other goods. • Sesame is in high demand in Japan • Shea butter and black soap is in high demand in Kenya, Zambia, USA • Dried Gall stones found in cows are in demand from Europe Locally we can make a lot of money in agro marketing by simply locating crops’ areas of comparative advantage and taking them to areas where they are needed • Ogbono from Taraba and Bayelsa states are in demand in the south of Nigeria • Chilli pepper from the north is highly in demand down south • Egusi from Nassarawa is highly sought after in the east and south west • Garri from benue is cheaper and can be distributed nation wide • Maize and soya bean is used for animal feeds and is growing in demand. 4. UNDERSTANDING FINANCING OPTIONS The Nigerian government is seriously interested in and committed to funding agriculture. This has also attracted grants and funds from multilateral agencies. There several funding programs and intervention programs in the development banks Finance options can be exploited from • BOA • BOI • NIRSAL fund • Microfinance banks • Commercial banks (agro funds from CBN) • Personal funds • Family and friends • Grants from multinational and multilateral organizations There is need to understand how to qualify, apply and obtain these funds To mitigate the inherent risks associated with using bank loans to run business even agro business one has to: • Conduct feasibility on any and every venture • Do a comprehensive business plan • Seek expert advice from experienced persons and institutions like IITA, NIFOR, HIHORT etc • Endeavor to be on ground to supervise activities of workers. • Be careful at the choice of staff |
