Thank you so much for being explicit and for your time.
I'll keep searching for where to learn trading of grains products even though it's quite challenging getting a place to learn.

You are quite right sir. And that chin-chin can make huge profit. But wait! Do not expand so big. The problem with expansion is that you will need more helping hands. Before you go bug, learn how yo manage those helping hands excellently; else, it will be a sad story. This is where growing gradually is wise and not just grow big. A good example is Dangote Tomato. Baba just went to set up 1,200 tons per day capacity plant of tomato paste. Now, he manages 300 tons in some days. His factory says its 300 tons per day they are able to do now, but I know it's a big fat lie. Dangote will be doing around 50 tons max during peak period. And lesser during other periods. However, there may be days they can hit 300 tons. But setting up 1,200 tons? Iits like having 50kva generator at home and one is using it to power just normal household stuff like TV AC etc. That max of 5KVa can carry. Lol. Just imagine the amount of energy wasted daily. This is the thing na. The people who pushed Damgote into that thing are mean. They tricked him into thinking tomato farming is like sugarcane for his sugar production. Lol.

The main requirement for making it in farming for small holders is that the owner must be on ground 24/7. Just go and sleep there and wake up with the farm. This way, I assure anyone that the person will make it. But we dont want to do it. We want to send money to those illiterates. And the tech guys doing agritech too dont go there. They just keep sending money to those "mofos". Na sad story at the end of the day. There is no agritech business that is not having problem.

If you were also the guy who went to stay farmers and workers to make sure the project worked well and you saw the huge profit inside, woukd you still go do the "boy security" job for some investors staying in their houses while you are suffering in ths sun? Of course you would do it for yourself alone.

And there is no competition. Market is full. Nothing like where will I sell. It is an open secret. I tell people....make up your mind. Go and stay there with those guys. If the person gets the right materials, seeds, and materials....he will make it. But even when one shows Nigerians the way, they get there and start listening to illiterates that wants to scam them.. Those yeye farmers there start given them cheaper options. And that is where dem wan chop. For example, there is something called mulch. You buy non light penetrating agri-nylon and spread on the farming area so that weed will not grow. The cost of buy ling the nylon alone on an acre can run to even N3million for good quality. But you get there and they tell you that they will weed for you. AMD you calculate it and see that wow....you will spend N80k max instead of 3 million. And then, you are still calculating sales of 15 million plus You get there and they weed the first time and after you realise that 1/8 of your crops start drying up 3 days after. ...and the remaining are infected with diseases. You start calling which chemicals to use... but you dont realise that those illiterates are dirty and they go to different farms...and they brought infections to your farm. Lol. What you are to do even they work for you on your farm to still curb these things, you dont know. Lol. And you will not even want to tall to the person who took you there again cos you know you are already going against the suggestions he gave you. Later after the whole this collapsed, you start shouting that farming is bad...and bal bl bla...you will not say what went wrong. Some will even start threatening.

Many people I have trained have used farming to pay off their tuition abroad. Some few still come home to farm and make cash to run back.

If God gives anyone the grace of good health, cos someone like me cannot even stay in the bush for long again (health issues must be considered), the person can make millions in the bush. Just go there and stay with the thing. And close your eyes. Do it the right way.

Thanks! I already learned so much from the thread. I am interested in agro business especially buying and selling of food stuff and food storage. But before I venture, I would like to learn the nitty gritty of the business. I wouldn't mind learning from you or getting a recommendation.
Thank you
