The agricultural sector holds a lot of opportunities for those who are willing.

Why farming?

Farming presents a lot of opportunities in Nigeria. My brother told me that in Jigawa State Nigeria, Karfin Hausa Local Government Area, a hectare of land can be rented for $49.2 per year, for labour and harvesting, you spend $196. From the sale of your produce you get over $2951.3 beside that which you and your family can consume from cultivating rice alone. Since a bag of rice is very expensive in Nigeria, venturing into farming will be a sure way of getting Nigerians out of recession.

No fewer than 112 million (67.1%) Nigerians of the country’s total population of 167 million now live below poverty level as global poor hits one billion mark.
