I offer you the key to your answered prayer. As a seasoned Management and Agro consultant who has also had the privilege of servings as Enugu State and South East co ordinator For YOUTHS In AGRICULTURE Initiatives between 2012 to 2015 and presently the CEO Ubanic Global Agro Consults and Farms. I wish to enlighten you on the opportunities you may have been missing for lack of interest or indulgence in Commercial Agriculture. I want you to firstly see Agriculture as business. The Nigerian Government, Haven realized that Agriculture is the only safe heaven for Nigeria outside oil has created a lot of Agro friendly policies and projects which in all streamlines it's mandate to Growth Enhancement Support to Farmers and Agro Industries. But to appreciate these narratives I want you to understand Agro Business from a difference point of View. When you have planted any kind of crops or tree, rared any kind of Animals or Fish etc up to harvest stage you have only partaken in one area of Agriculture and no matter how successful you think you are, you could never have maximized profits. Now embrace my Concept of AGRICULTURE: I classify Agro BUSINESSES into 7 VALUE namely PROCUREMENT, PRODUCTION, PROCESSING, PACKAGING, HAULAGE, MARKETING and RESEARCH. Use Tomatoes for Example: PROCUREMENT is getting the best verify and Species smoothable for your specific Environ.
PRODUCTION is all the activities till harvest:
Now note: This crop is highly perishable and weather sensitive, no matter your PRACTICES, to maximize Profit and reduce waste.
SIMPLY be rest assured that you can PROCESS or you have a ready made arrangement for ANCHOR PROCESSOR'S who will readily buy your products and in some cases based on your PRACTICES and PERFORMANCE sponsor your general PRODUCTION PROCESSES and Harvest when due while you make your HUGE PROFITS.
PROCESSING simply imply converting the tomatoes into paste, powder or other PRESERVABLE Forms. By so doing you have Halted Decays and SPOILAGE bacteria's. MAXIMIZING PROFIT ,drastically reducing WASTE and ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION.
After processing the next stage is PACKAGING this is simply putting some portions of the processed TOMATOES hygienically into containers, sachets, drums etc. The essence is to PRESERVE and STABILIZE the Tomatoes at its best and safest consumable state until it gets to end user.
The Next is HAULAGE / TRANSPORTATION to maintain price control and safe deliveries with ease for both the Farmers and Products. This is vital and also was considered as a growth enhancement support in the form of Trucks, Cooling Vans , Tractors etc by the Federal Government.
MARKETING for sure you need to have Demand and available/ foreseeable MARKET for any Product or VALUE CHAIN you wish to indulge in. Also MARKETERS have a Great role in linking all the value Chain.
Finally RESEARCH develops / create sustains, improves and in most cases invest modern PROCEDURE and PRACTICES. So Research is very Vital and is an Institution in the VALUE CHAIN. finally all these VALUE CHAIN have been accommodated by one government policy or the other and their are SUBSIDIZED Loans and Grants from the CBN, BOI, AGRIC BANK, NEXIM bank etc.
