Truly, the
thoughts of making extra cash can be frustrating and depressing. Many people
are shifting attention to remote work but this too is becoming overpopulated
and very competitive as you need some set of skills to compete.
Don’t look
dejected; with the insight, I will be sharing in this post about making money
from farming, I am certain the solutions to your troubles are here and you will
be making profits in weeks.
Yes, I said
Weeks!!!
Several
entrepreneurs, employees, graduates and undergraduates have been venturing into
one form of business in various fields and have given little or less attention
to farming.
Don’t be
surprised I mentioned Farming!
Farming is an
outstanding field that only few entrepreneurs are aware of and are making a lot
of money from. I am not saying you are going to do farm work, NO. Don’t get it
wrong; I am pointing you to the lucrative business opportunities that are
readily available and profitable in the world of farming.
Are you an
entrepreneur or an aspiring entrepreneur looking for a lucrative field to
invest in? Are you a fresh graduate still job hunting? Are you an industrious
undergraduate?
If you answer
YES to any of the questions above, then farming is your gold mine.
1. Planting and
Sale of Fresh Vegetables: Ugu leaf, water-leaf, scent leaf, jute leaf and other
fresh leafy vegetables are highly nutritious and medicinal. They are of high
demand with a ready made market in your environment. Fresh vegetable business
is a zero-startup business and you can make cool cash from it even while going
to work and job hunting. All you need to venture into this business is a small
fertile garden space in your compound or a close farm where you can plant the
vegetable seeds or stems. In at least 3 weeks of frequent watering and
application of fertilizers you are ready for harvesting and BOOM!!, cool cash.
If you are an undergraduate, fresh graduate, an employee, or an entrepreneur;
then you have an oil block in your compound; Start Now.
2.
Manufacturing and Sale of Bean Flour: By processing bean seed into flour; it
will make it easy for people to easily preparing their bean cake or bean
pudding without thinking of the stress of removing chaffs, stones and other
foreign objects as well as grinding. Beans are nutritious food which is
proteinous and is used in making bean pudding (moi-moi) and bean cake(Akara).
Few entrepreneurs have benefited from the earning potentials of bean flour
production but here you are about to be part of the earners from the business.
All you need to do is to purchase some buckets of bean seed, remove the chaffs
and other foreign objects, wash out the outer back, dry it in sun or with an
oven then grind. Neatly package your bean flour and you are in business.
3. Production
and Sale of Yam Flour: Another lucrative underutilized business is Yam flour
production. The era of preparing pounded yam by pounding cooked yam in mortar
is over, as pounded yam can be prepared with yam flour and equally give the
same taste and quality. The yam flour business requires little capital and the
production process is not tedious. Production of yam flour involves the
purchase of edible yam tubers, peeling and slicing into light sizes, parboiling
the sliced yams, drying the parboiled sliced yams over specified temperature
and time, then grind into flour. Neatly package the yam flour into
moisture-proof nylon bags and you are in sales.
4. Farm Produce
Marketing: The soul of every business is marketing. Many farmers run at a loss
because they don’t know how to sell their farm products. Knowing how to sell
farm products and who to sell particular farm products is a headache for
farmers but as an entrepreneur, a profitable business. You can tap into this
opportunity and make extra income by marketing farm produce for farmers. Get
closer to different farmers and peach your business opportunity to them, after
which you source for hotels, online stores, grocery stores, retail stores,
schools and some homes that need fresh farm produce and market the products to
them. In a few weeks, you will make more income than some salary earners.
5. Agro-Export
Agent: The exportation of farm products is very lucrative but can be very
dicey. Many farmers do not trust the process and prefer to deal locally. Being
an educated and schooled individual, you can be an agent between the farmers
and exporters. All you need to do is to understand the exportation process and
rare crops that are of high demand in foreign countries and BOOM, you are
earning in dollars.
