My name is Kolawole Osafehinti. I work with a company with a slightly large land holding in Ogun state Nigeria looking to start up a 100 hectare farm with focus on short and medium term crops. I’m looking for partners to offer technical input as well as equity investment. Hoping I can connect with like minds here for this.
That’s great to know Seun. Could you give some details as to skills and experience as that will help. I’m also looking for people with experience in agro commodity trading - sourcing, holding, marketing and order fulfillment.
I’m an agricultural engineer by profession, thus anything agric &
engineering, count me in. And I also have a number of friends / colleagues
in different agricultural fields, so it depends on the needs.
Interesting. I am very critical about experience - there are just some things that can’t be learnt unless through doing - which is especially true for agriculture. Could you share some of yours, if you don’t mind?
Well, let me do the most recent findings I found out and a resolve I’ve arrived at.
I look forward to a time nearby where consumers come to buy all they need directly from the farmers/first hand personnel, because its the transfer of goods from several middle men that real cause the rise in cost of agric produce.
Perhaps agricsquare would consider that as a near future project of having farms in most/all states.
