@olyflex001@Naija_farmers With proper guidance, fish farming is profitable. Don't be discuraged by fear. Risk is an integral part of any business. Just start small and expand with time.
I know a guy in Lagos who once said, “Farmers complain too much. Just plant and harvest na.”
I ask am if he has ever planted anything before.
He said, “I keep aloe vera in my balcony.”
I shock.
Many urban people think food is like electricity. You press switch, e show. You enter supermarket, tomatoes dey. You order online, rice arrive. You complain say pepper cost too much.
But somewhere, one farmer has not slept because rain refused to fall or it too much of it.
Somebody’s cassava drowned because flood no send anybody.
Somebody borrowed money to plant maize and goats and cows held meeting inside the farm.
Yet when prices go up, the first thing people say is, “These farmers are greedy.”
Bros, the tomato you squeeze inside your stew passed through more problems than some startups.
There are people who have never seen a rice farm but can argue for two hours about why rice is expensive.
There are people who think eggs are produced every morning like bank alerts.
A friend from the city visited a farm once. By 10 a.m. he was already asking where the nearest restaurant was because the sun was “too aggressive.”
That day he discovered that agriculture is not aesthetic. It is not drone shots, cowboy hats and Instagram captions. It is sweat, uncertainty, debt, pests, weather, middlemen and hope.
Maybe this is why food waste is so common in cities. When you don’t understand production, you can’t respect the process.
The distance between the farm and the city is not just kilometres.
It is understanding.

@ASALAgriGrowth@RightCohen Exactly, "Chemical free food starts from the farm".
That's why I encourage you to always use 4tree enhancer to grow chemical free foods.
