SEVEN (7) core reasons why few farmers don't make money

One can get rich through any business inclusively agriculture. However, Agriculture owns over 70% percent employment in the sub Sahara Africa across the numerous values chains.

It is optimistic that the goal of every farmer is to enhance its profit stability. Unfortunately, some menace have contributes to the downfall of some farmer profit margin.

Below are the real reasons why some people never make real money in farming business.

1. DISORGANIZATION - Oh yes. Some farmers are so disorganized. The real truth is that disorganized people don't make money. Order, they say is the first law in heaven. Money is usually magnetic to order.

2. CRUELTY - Some farmers are cruel to their workers. Always shouting, always threatening workers. And of course, workers will keep sabotaging their plans and efforts.

3. CHOP ALONE MENTALITY - Some farmers have continually found it difficult to make real good money in farming because they are always very selfish in good times. Good times should favour everybody in the business. Those who don't share the good times in business with their workers rarely get rich.

4. PRODUCTION JUNKIES - It's good to be good in production, but your ignorance of marketing will radically limit your exploits in any business including farming.

5. POOR MARKETING SENSE - Be good in production and be super good in marketing if you really want to make it in business including farming. Marketing and innovation is really the work we do as business owners. The more we know this, the better our business becomes.

6. LACK OF VISION - Where there is no vision, poverty reigns. Vision is what attracts provision to any venture including farming business.

7. EXTRAVAGANT LIVING - Some farmers get too impatient for the business to grow before they start living big. There is nothing wrong with living big, but doing this too early in any business can bring poverty fast.

MEET THE AWARDEE, 2019 WORLD FOOD PRIZE AWARD
WHY Simon N. Groot, THE NETHERLANDS?
©AFSAwebMedia

Simon N. Groot of the Netherlands received the 2019 World Food Prize for his transformative role in empowering millions of smallholder farmers in more than 60 countries to earn greater incomes through enhanced vegetable production, benefitting hundreds of millions of consumers with greater access to nutritious vegetables for healthy diets.

As founder and leader of East-West Seed, his initiative over the past four decades has developed a dynamic, smallholder-centric tropical vegetable seed industry, starting in Southeast Asia and spreading through Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Groot, a sixth-generation seedsman, founded East-West Seed in 1982 in the Philippines with the idea that a good vegetable seed could change the lives of the poor. Having observed the many challenges facing poverty-stricken smallholder farmers in Southeast Asia, Groot set out to establish the first market-oriented vegetable seeds breeding company with smallholders as the main client base.
