In Nigeria today, farming is no longer just about large lands and big machines. With modern methods and small capital, even small-scale farmers can earn big.
1. Grow high-demand crops
Crops like pepper, okra, tomatoes, vegetables, and maize are fast-growing and always in demand in local markets. You can start with a small backyard or rented plot.
2. Use simple irrigation
With rising heat and irregular rainfall, simple drip irrigation using recycled water bottles or buckets can help maintain crops year-round.
3. Try poultry or snail farming
You don’t need acres of land – just a small cage or shaded box. Poultry, snails, and even rabbits grow fast and have ready buyers.
4. Track your farming like a business
Keep a record of expenses, sales, and harvest. This helps you know what works and plan better for the next season.
5. Start with organic waste
Compost your kitchen waste and animal droppings to create free natural fertilizer. Healthy soil means better yield – with zero chemicals.
Tip of the Week:
Join a local farming group or co-op. Shared tools, ideas, and market access can boost your growth.
Farming is the future – even if you start small.
