RE: TO FARM OR NOT TO FARM? OPPORTUNITIES FOR AFRICAN YOUTH IN AGRICULTURE AND AGRO- BUSINESS

in #africa7 years ago

I would like to say that majority of the youth are not ready for farm business. I am a farmer and I started off from buying from farmers in the farmer land and bring the product to the city for marketing. Today, I have about five acres of land on mixes crop farming. The lack of the knowledge isn't a problem but the interest, you will learn on the business. Concerning marketing of the product, there's always means around farm product, just move around, show up what you've got and your in business.

This is an uncommon topic. I love it.

I am glad you found this topic helpful. Wow That is impressive. What do you think we need to do differently to spark that interest?
People like you who are already doing it are motivation that it can be a venture like any other.
