Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.

@Nig_Farmer please, I need edible oil(groundnut oil, palm oil) suppliers that I can work with in my next project. It's very urgent 🙏
Just before you start your snail farm; gather a lot of DATA and ask valuable questions.
1. Know your market - Don't start a snail farm without having a good picture of WHO you want to sell to. Different target market eats different sizes of snail.
- Caterers need small sizes for finger foods or Jumbo for premium customers
- Hotels & Restaurants need averagely BIG sizes
- Corporate offices want ready-to-eat snails
- If you target young people, make some sumptuous snail delicacies they can snack on.
2. Understand Season - Snails are relatively cheap during wet season (from April till September); and expensive during the Dry season (from October till February). Don't be in a hurry to sell off at discount during gluts, rather, focus on getting your snails to mate, lay fertile eggs & churn out more baby snails. DRY season is when we feast FAT as snail farmers.
3. Understand your Territory - How big is your available space? How many snails will such space contain? How secure is your area? Humans are skillful at stealing snails so upgrade your street OT!
What are the common predators in your area? Rural areas are closer to nature so be ready to fight for your investment to be profitable while Urban areas have space limitations.
4. Dwell on what makes you unique - Your snail farm should either be close to market or close to raw materials. Don't go and build a farm in deplorable communities and still be spending double transporting your daily farm needs.
(Your neck will get longer!).
If your farm is closer to your market, convince as many clients as possible on a daily basis & keep selling your snails.
If your farm is closer to raw materials, make sure your feeding cost is reduced to the bearest minimum by cultivating more lands to feed your snails and collaborate with your community farmers so you can do some bulk product sales.
5. Plot a SWOT analysis before you start - What are the Strength, Weakness, Opportunity & Threat of your newly acquired farm? Outsource your weakness, leverage on your Strength, collaborate on your opportunities activate a Military system for your Threats.
Watch out for ants, centipedes & caterpillars. Make sure you run a full analysis on your soil & water to prepare well for future crisis.
What other lessons did you learn the hard way that made you quit at first? Share them.
Don't forget to re-share so that people won't loose their hard-earned money.

There is an argument on my TL
Someone said Beans is more consumed in Nigeria than Wheat.
