There is no doubt in the fact that our population is growing at a geometric rate creating a huge gap and opportunity for agropreneurs to produce more food and create wealth in the process.
Nigeria will be the third largest population in the world by 2030 lying behind China and India estimated to be about 300 million in numbers.

Looking at the current situation of agric sector in sub Saharan africa,nigeria inclusive
There is no doubt that Nigeria being the most populous nation in Africa, blessed with millions of hectares of land, yet we produced less than what our population can consumed; by about 80% small scale farmers.
Guess what,most of the "less" food produced by this small scale farmers never reach the final consumer
Most are lost due to lack of access to market,poor logistics,poor storage etc

According to Rockefeller foundation,

40% of tuber crop are wasted
25% staple foods and
20% vegetables doesn't get to the final consumers
Most of their efforts are wasted.
Imagine billions of dollar worth of foods lost on the Africa farm that doesnot even get to the market!

We might even reduce hunger for the millions of people who are victims and greatly improve food security

This should tell you that there is money in food marketing and as a prospective farmer/agropreneur,you should take marketing serious so that you don't lose your revenue on the farm.

When starting your farm business,how to see and market should take 80% of your time and 20% takes decision/work on how to produce.
Fortunately, you might not have to worry much about market as you have access to market when you purchase your farmland on our farm estate and other agropreneurs to feed the nation.

if we did not farm because of Fulani, who will do it for us
does it mean we will all go hungry?
of course there are many states where these challenges are prevalent, but that should not discourage you from growing your food and making money.
There are many things you can do to put that in check.
I will give little tips to follow if you want to start farming.
1. if you want to farm, make sure you have other farmers around. don't go to a place where there are no farms around.
2.Always talk with the Fulani head and have a good relationship with them.
3.Get a guard to oversee the farm or build a farm house on the farm.
when people are on the farm or close to the farm, proper monitoring will be possible and feasible.
for the past 5 years, we have not experience such because we put many measures to checkmate that.
if you still want many tips on that, you can me
You can also others to purchase your farmland on our secured farm estate at an affordable rate.
Good. morning
