How You Can Maximize The Potential In Moringa Business And Its Value Chain
It is true that Nigeria has been heavily dependent of crude oil sales for its large economy; but the government is increasingly paying attention to agri-business.
The Nigerian government has recognized the growth of the sector, potential and has increasingly been focusing on its growth in recent times.
The government has realized the enormous contribution being made by agriculture, and therefore that with proper attention the sector can be very profitable and helpful to the economy.
Several youths are venturing into agricultural business now, and they are making it big. They are carving a niche for themselves, and reports are constantly coming in that agriculture has been a major source of employment for the youths.
The government is currently paying serious attention to the agricultural sector more than ever before. Therefore, it is imperative for any serious farmer to come on board as the government is more interested in the sector than ever before.
However, within the agribusiness sector, one cash crop continues to catch the attention of the world; but the full potential has not been fully tapped in Nigeria – that commodity is Moringa.
The seeds of Moringa may be relatively cheap, but the crop has a very high return on investment. It grows virtually in every state of the Federation making it possible for every willing farmer to have access to the crop.
With a sizeable plot of land, any farmer with interest and zeal to farm Moringa can easily plant large number of stems of the crop; it grows within a short period of time thereby making the farmer start reaping profits fast.
One very important fact you need to know now is that the demand for Moringa in Nigeria and the international community is very high. Currently, it is difficult to satisfy the local demand of the commodity; Moringa factories are currently wooing farmers to supply to them.
If you conduct a little check, you will discover that many foreign nationals are currently in the country searching for Moringa seeds. It is a known fact that some Chinese nationals scouting for Moringa seeds in the country pay some farmers in advance before the seeds are harvested.
Aside from direct economic benefits of Moringa, the stems, leaves, and seeds have powerful health benefits as claimed by health experts. Studies have so far shown that the crop contains certain antioxidants and nourishing ingredients.
Its leaves contain beta-carotene, protein, potassium, calcium, and vitamin C. They also use it in preparing herbal teas. Also it is believed that some properties in the leaves may help in controlling diabetes.
Farming may be profitable, especially with crops like Moringa, but it is not all sweet; sometimes you can experience loss but when you continue to weather the storm, at the end of the day you will laugh.
In anything in life, like agriculture, if you are patient you will win at the end of the day. Be patient, tweak your strategies and see that victory will be yours.
For you to succeed in Moringa farming, you have to take the business headlong in totality not only production. Rather it will depend on your drive and determination as a farmer.
It is a fact that any business can be profitable if the owner himself wants it to be; it depends on what you are seeing in your future.
In Moringa farming you can be exceptionally good in it if you want; the government is highly interested in growing the sector to the highest level that has ever existed in the country.
I can tell you that even if you do not get support from the government as at now, there are private organizations that are ready to support your in Moringa farming.
My dear farmers and youth of this country wake up and get counted in this great revival called agriculture in Nigeria today.
