Success Story on Agri-Trading

 

My friend who is studying medicine in Georgia contacted me to help check out farmland in Abuja/Keffi. While in Keffi, I observed Igbos who trade on motor spare parts, would buy commodities like beans, sesame seed and store in their houses.

I saw an opportunity to buy commodities and send them down to my location in Asaba, as well as engage in storage with 100k I had. I also started placing adverts on agro commodities and several company agents would request for one commodity or another and in my quest to get those commodities in large quantities at an affordable price, I traveled to many rural villages in Nasarawa and Kaduna.

Welcome to today's Agricultural News Update.

Excitement As Kebbi Rice Farmers Harvest Twice A Year: There is joy in the faces of farmers in Kebbi State as most of them can now harvest yields of similar output from both dry and wet seasons. Thousands of farmers who are part of WACOT Rice’s out-grower programme in the state now get the required expertise and support to get good farm yields from both farming seasons. This is contrary to the old practice when these farmers relied only on wet season for their production, which was usually marred by floods.
