🍁 Business Track

You produce the food. Someone else is making the money. Fix that in 5 weeks.

For poultry farmers, fish farmers, crop farmers, food processors and agro-entrepreneurs who are working hard but letting middlemen collect the profit. This track gives you the brand, the pricing and the direct-buyer system to take that profit back.

Who this track is for

  • Poultry and fish farmers
  • Crop and vegetable farmers
  • Food processors and packagers
  • Mushroom and beekeeping farmers
  • Agro-entrepreneurs and rural producers

Does this sound like you?

You work from before sunrise, produce consistently, and still sell cheap to middlemen who take the margin you earned

Your income disappears in off-season months because there is no plan, no repeat buyers and no financial buffer

You know restaurants, hotels and supermarkets would buy from you directly but you have no idea how to approach them or what to say

You produce more than the local market can absorb, so you either sell at a loss or watch produce go to waste

If even one of those is familiar, the problem is not your farm. It is that nobody has shown you how to build the business around it. That is what this track does.

What you will learn

MODULE 01WEEKS 1 & 2 — Brand, Pricing & Value Addition+
  • Why a branded agro-product sells for two to three times more than an unbranded one — even when the product inside is identical — and how to build that brand starting this week
  • Naming your farm or product line and designing a simple label that signals quality to buyers before they taste anything
  • Packaging decisions that make your product look premium on a shelf, in a delivery box or in a buyer's kitchen
  • How to tell your farm story in a way that creates buyer loyalty and makes people choose you over cheaper alternatives
  • The honest difference between what you produce and what you actually keep: why most agro-producers are profitable on paper and broke in reality
  • Why the processing step is where agricultural wealth is built in Nigeria — and the exact steps to get there without a large capital outlay
  • How to calculate your real cost-per-unit so you stop guessing and start pricing with confidence
  • How to price above market rate by adding value through processing, better packaging or direct delivery
MODULE 02WEEKS 3, 4 & 5 — Marketing, Buyers & Money+
  • A step-by-step script for approaching restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and food processors as direct buyers — including what to say, what to bring and how to follow up until they say yes
  • Running Facebook and Instagram ads that reach food businesses and households in your delivery area for as little as ₦500 per day
  • Getting your products listed on food delivery platforms and agro-marketplaces in Nigeria that are actively looking for consistent suppliers
  • Setting up and optimising your Google Business profile so buyers searching for your produce type in your area find you first
  • How to pitch and close corporate supply deals — canteens, schools, hotels and institutional buyers who place steady weekly or monthly orders
  • The farm records that tell you your real production cost every week, so no harvest cycle ends with a surprise loss
  • How to plan your planting or production schedule around actual market demand — not just what you have always grown
  • Cash flow for producers: managing the gap between harvesting or processing and actually getting paid, so the business does not stall between cycles

What you will leave with

  • A branded product with a finished label and packaging you can sell or pitch this week
  • A direct buyer list of restaurants, food vendors or supermarkets in your area with contact details and an approach plan
  • A live Google Business profile and at least one running ad driving inquiries to your farm or product
  • A cost-per-unit calculator that shows your real margin on every product, batch or harvest
  • A direct sales system via WhatsApp and delivery that removes your dependence on middlemen entirely
  • A production and financial plan covering the next full harvest or processing cycle

Questions about this track

I am a small-scale farmer. Is this too advanced for me?+
No. We start where you are. The strategies scale from a backyard poultry setup to a mid-size commercial farm. What matters is that you are producing and you want to earn more from what you already produce.
Does this cover both crop farming and animal farming?+
Yes. The business principles apply across all agro-production: poultry, fish, crops, vegetables, honey, mushrooms and food processing. You will work through the modules using your specific product as the example throughout.
What if I do not have fast internet?+
You do not need fast internet. All materials are shared as files you can download and work through offline between sessions. Live sessions are the only time you need a connection, and even those are recorded so you do not miss anything.
