Surprisingly here's among the top agricultural produce in Lagos! I didn't quite believe but it's true😂. Over 15million people and here's one of the gold mines.

Little wonder the coconut trees on both sides of the Lagos state coat of arm. Interesting. We might just be in for something huge.😊😊😊

Rice consumption would challenge for top spot in our consumption chart,with our focus being on improving our agriculture both in quality and better distribution or availability of food crops,we have lately reached out to counterparts who have been doing hybrid seed;WDR precisely.
We were able to request samples to be experimented locally before distribution to farmers.
Let's consider some feedback from past experiment:
-Our local variety JAMILA planted along with your WDR yielded 6.4kg.
-WDR has 49.94kg higher than our local variety.
-While the best national variety FARO 44 yields 30.4kg compared to WDR 56kg.
-In addition, WDR was Subjected to Paddy Grading standard along with our local varieties, WDR was found to be in grade B, our local varieties fall in grade D.

We frankly are THE MARKET!
This is our goal,everyday work and conscious target;that every agro produce or services sold goes through us.
We as well bring the Farmer unlimited streams of demand for his produce and having a ready market for any agro allied produce under sun.

Sometimes I'd say i knew I'd get into agriculture the moment i realized i loved food,i even love the process of preparing meals. I'd create pictures of brown roasted chicken on a plate of green coloured rice,so beautiful. Agriculture is beyond crops and livestock,it's way more than that. The cloths we wear(cotton),the furnitures(lumber),the shoes(Tannery),it's something we unavoidably and unconsciously promote.

On begining,one of the early challenges we encountered was getting small scale farmers to register on our online store "www.agrostoresonline.com"
These farmers barely had smart phones,talk more of getting them started on an online market place. I figured i definitely needed to meet these farmers and probably sell thier produce offline first. Within 6months we already had over 100 subscribes,almost non was a small scale active farmer,our target was missing. How many farmers could i meet and talk to,sometimes language was even a barrier. I found a way,i went out to meet Agric consultants,i know a firm that has about 500 farmers registered under them. This made it so easy. I really can now do business without even meeting these farmers in person.
I find it really fun having to take up these farmers problems and create solutions. It's been an amazing journey so far.

What do you sell?
What services do you render?

Nearly everything we eat, wear and use came from a plant or an animal raised on a farm. I always say, but I have yet to have someone name something they eat that doesn’t come from a plant or an animal. And everything except wild caught fish, shellfish, and wild game came from a farm.

Someone may look around their environment and try to name something that doesn't comes from a farm. Aside from metal, stone, and plastics made from petroleum, nearly everything we use includes something from a plant or animal raised on a farm.

Food and agriculture are important for one simple reason: Everyone eats. Without food, we could not survive, let alone do anything else. And there are a lot of people around the world - more than seven billion. This means that there is a lot of agriculture going on in order to produce a lot of food.

Agriculture is very involved in everyday living.
From the cloth we wear to the food we eat,the shelter and furniture we use,shows how important a Farmer is.

PART TWO.
Methods of Buying and Selling Agric Produce In Nigeria.

5. MEDIUM/LARGE SCALE
Another way you can approach agro-commodity trade is to buy produce from one state of the country and sell in another.
Here’s an example: you can buy tubers of yam from Benue state where they have yams in abundance, and sell in Sokoto state where yams are usually scarce. On your way back, you can buy whatever Sokoto state has in abundance and sell in Benue state.

6. SELLING DIRECTLY TO CUSTOMERS
One of the best ways of selling farm produce by local farmers is through selling the goods directly to the final consumers.
By doing this, you’ll be able control the whole distribution chain and control the final market price. To sell directly to consumers, you’ll need to set up a small shed in your farm to enable buyers to buy from you directly, thereby increasing your sales.

7. ONLINE SELLING
Another method of selling or buying your produce at cheaper costs is the use of the internet. With online selling, your products are exposed to a large body of potential customers.
Using internet technology requires you to have an e-commerce platform to showcase your products. You can sign up on www.agrostoresonline.com to get a free e-commerce account.

8. EXPORTATION OF FARM PRODUCE
Cash crops like cocoa, cotton, oil palm, etc are goods that have high demand on the international trade market. Every manufacturing nations of the world need these products desperately.
In fact, the level of demand is far greater than the supply; meaning every cash crop from your farm has a ready market.
As a wise farmer, the best avenue to maximize your profit is through the exportation of your farm produce. When you export, you’ll sell at a price higher than the local market price.

9. STORE NOW/SELL LATER
Another way you can approach agro-commodity trade is to buy a particular produce during its peak season when the price is cheap, store the produce, and sell months later during its off season.
