AGRIBUSINESS WITH N50,000

I think the most asked question I get from those who have developed interest in Agriculture is - how much do I need to start?

How is too little to be profitable

What I think works is...

1. When you have little money to invest in agriculture, ask yourself - do you want to be involved in the business or want to invest in other people's venture.

Ans. I will focus on those who want to be involved

2. Next, imagine if you had enough money, what would you really do in agriculture?

Production
Processing
Input supply
Branding
Transportation

I realized most people would love to process

3. So with your N50,000 budget, you should not start with owning a farm, why?
This is probably a savings/loan
D risk is high since it isn't precision
The money is in the processing and logistics
You cant afford to sink money
You need to live before harvest

4. How to work your N50,000:
Get a market and pick either options:

A. use your N50,000 to buy from local farmers and supply to cities
B. Buy raw materials, process and sell

You can do backwards integration of owning farms over time

What ever aspect you decide to start from remember:

1. Give yourself time: the fertility of the couple doesn't mean they will give birth on the day of inception

2. Network with those going where you are going

3. Thirst after knowledge
