You sell maize at the farm gate for about ₦50,000 a bag. The same bag, cleaned and delivered to a feed mill, sells for about ₦60,000. The difference goes to whoever moved, cleaned and delivered it — not to you.
This book shows farmers four real ways to keep more of what their farm produces, without abandoning farming.
Inside:
✅ The real math of farming poor — where your money leaks after harvest
✅ The 4 functions buyers are really paid for: timing, quality, aggregation and trust
✅ Path 1: Become your own buyer — a fully worked farmer-sized run (your 10 bags + 10 from neighbours)
✅ Path 2: Process what you grow — garri and feed entry points
✅ Path 3: Sell direct to schools, hotels and hospitals — with a script and quotation sheet
✅ Path 4: The cooperative route — agreement checklist and first-meeting agenda ✅ The costing formula and batch card that work on every path
✅ The real risks on each path, and a 30-day action plan
Who it's for: farmers who already grow crops, fish or livestock and want a bigger share of the value.
