Thank you for your kind words.

For maize enthusiast :-Maize prices in Kwara north and Saki/ Iseyin axis may be the place to be as northern prices begin to spike.

Do you buy maize from farms?

Olayimikami:
The Agriculture value chain includes

1. Seed company
2. Farmers
3. Marketers/Middle men
4. Processors
5. Distributors
6. Retailers
7. Consumers

Operating in any of this value chain assures you of profit. However the margins differ based on the level you operate in

I have carefully left the logistics level which interconnects all the sectors

Olayimikami:
Of all the levels in the value chain above, level 3-5 make the highest return on investment (ROI). In most cases,they also hold the commodity for the shortest time frame and often experience immediate profit or loss as the case may be.

Of those three levels, the marketers/middlemen are king, often times dictating the price especially if they have stakes in the other levels as well
