Hallelujah!
Farming is Business and Farming is Rewarding
The frustrating aspect of farming resides only in your mindset towards agriculture, look around you and see that not every farmer is frustrated.
. . . oh Yes, I hear someone say… “but majority of farmers are frustrated”… Please before you conclude, remember that “wrong does not cease to be wrong
because the majority share in it”.
Your mindset is the result for your “Mind Test”, to enhance this result in any area of concern… GO FOR INFORMATION!
“Farming as a lifestyle is frustrating but in business, farming is quite rewarding!” (I got this from an author I can’t remember)
In an article published on https://agropreneurng.com/, some of the issues raised are as follows;
- The agricultural sector lacks new entrants into the various aspect of the value chain.
- In a country like Nigeria, it is no news that there is an aging population of farmers,
- There is also, an insufficient interest in the agricultural sector by the younger generation due to a number of reasons, these includes but not limited to :
- Wrong perspective of agriculture especially production (farming) that is seen as not profitable, for the uneducated and labor intensive.
- Young people are not equipped to take advantage of the opportunities in the value chain such as processing, regional markets and value-addition
- Constrained access to land and finance
- Lack of knowledge both technical & business
- Lack of access to information that can guide them to success.
- We are not here to only teach on how to go and get the benefits of farming!
- We are not here to only research on benefit of agriculture or quote other writers!
- We are here to take advantage of the business window available in the agricultural sector; the good news is that this window is wide and in need of great workforce across the nation and beyond.
