What kind of agricultural products do you produce? How long does it take to produce?

Well I produce cassava this is a well known agriculture product and it can be processed into garri , as cassava floor, fufu , African salad , garri is a produce that an agricultural farmer cannot get tired of producing because the consumption of it is very high , that most people can't stay a day without eating garri like is a well known food and strong, that when you consumed it ,it will stay long in the stomach it has high rate of energy.

For how long does it take to produce, most times it's depends on the species it can take up to a year or six months of produce , and when the ground is fertile it tends to produce and yield good food fastly.

Do you sell it as it is produce or sell it processed (dried)?

I sell the produce after I have processed it by frying it and taking it to market to sell the process is not an easy job because the stress in frying for hours and then taking it to the market to sell ,I actually have a lot of customers that buys from me so is not really hard to sell.

Do you get a fair price for selling your produce in your country or are you being harassed by any middlemen what kind of harassment.

Selling your produce at a fair price will make buyers see you as a transparent person most sellers increase their produce price just to make more of gains, a buyer pays for a price that worth a particular produce.

The harassment are as follows; low price, corruption, delaying of payment to the farmers.

How much loss/profit do you make after selling your products?Are you happy with it?

Most times the loss is much when the cassava matures quickly before you notice it , it will start to rotten , like 20% of your income can be a waste, because is not everyday you will make sales of your produce.

Yes am happy by the grace every day will keep pushing to meet up , waking up every morning in determination to keep growing and meeting up with sales makes me happy 😊.

Thanks for reading.
