If I were completely #broke and starting agriculture today in Nigeria
My order would be:
1:Agricultural content creation, especially on YouTube.
2:Agricultural marketing/brokerage
3:Consultancy/training
4:Seedling nursery for Commercial farmers.
5: Vegetable farming
6:Small scale poultry farming (Noiler and Cockerel)
7: Poultry brooding for clients.
8: Home gardening.
The reason is simple: the fastest way from zero to significant money in agriculture is often not producing crops first , it's solving problems for farmers, earning from knowledge, services, marketing, and referrals.
Once cash flow becomes stable, you can then expand into farming itself.
Try as much as possible to stay away from the soil if you are struggling financially.

On the fourth day of the 2nd KALRO Scientific Conference and Innovation Expo, KALRO Board Member Judy delivered a compelling message from the intersection of science and business, underscoring agriculture's pivotal role as the engine of Kenya's economy.
Representing the Board's Commercialization Committee, she challenged the sector to move beyond the confines of the laboratory and fully embrace the business of agriculture. She emphasized the need for strategic partnerships, effective commercialization of research outputs, and robust grassroots communication to ensure that innovations reach and transform the lives of farmers and agribusinesses across the country.
"Kenya may not have vast reserves of oil or gold, but it possesses something far more sustainable: its agricultural sector." She said, noting that agriculture is the definitive vehicle that will propel the national economy to the next level, provided it is aggressively leveraged as a commercial enterprise rather than just a subsistence activity.
Highlighting KALRO's ongoing market successes, Ms Judy pointed to tangible, consumer-ready products developed by researchers, including KALRO-branded yogurt, dairy products, and commercialized soybeans. These innovations prove that research can be directly translated into profitable, market-ready goods that stimulate economic growth.
Breaking down KALRO's operational tagline;- Research, Innovate, Transform, she noted that while KALRO possesses brilliant minds that successfully research and innovate, science that stays in the lab only serves the scientists. To truly transform livelihoods, this knowledge must be aggressively and effectively communicated to grassroots farmers and the youth through accessible channels.
Scaling agricultural innovations requires massive capital and business acumen. Ms. Judy closed with a direct invitation to the private sector, emphasizing that KALRO is "open for business." By inviting strategic partners and investors to collaborate, KALRO aims to upscale its value-added products and fully commercialize the nation's agricultural research for broad economic impact.
