Growing Population and expanding urbanization have led to fast growth in demand for livestock products, including poultry. It happens to be the fastest-growing segment in the Agricultural Industry in Nigeria. According to ThisDay Newspaper, Nigeria has a poultry industry worth over N1.2 trillion as of 2017.

Keeping in mind the market size, Nigeria’s Egg Production is the largest in Africa. Chicken importation was banned by Nigeria in 2003, which spurred growth in domestic poultry production.

In all of Western Africa, Nigeria is the largest producer of rice. All over Africa, it is the third largest producer, after Egypt and Madagascar, producing about 3.6 million metric tons, on average, annually.

But, apparently, Nigeria happens to fall short of meeting its local demands, which creates a 5.5 billion ton consumer base. Considering these facts, rice farming is a lucrative business to start.

 

 

Snail Farming 

Another business idea, cheaper than the rest, in terms of capital required, is snail farming. Internet facts say that the snail business has extensive opportunities, but is neglected. It is also a good farming idea to earn money in a short period of time.

But before jumping into this, it is important to do thorough research regarding the snail farming business. Since, by some generalized facts, snails happen to be expensive to eat and are very dormant during the dry season, they become scarce.

 

In conclusion

A surging swell has taken over the Agribusiness Culture in Africa. There are many more lucrative options to look into in the Farming segment, such as catfish farming, maize farming, pig farming, and honey bee farming. The above-mentioned are the most economical and easiest to start. You can literally start in your backyard!

 

EDUCATION…A BOOMING SECTOR! 

Education is a necessity, but Education has also become expensive. With an Adult Literacy rate of 62.02% in Nigeria, a major part of the population slips through the cracks and lives up to be uneducated pupils.

Thus, as an extensive requirement for an Educator, not only creates a demand, but a lack of education is also a societal problem that needs to be resolved. The typical wants are at day cares, nursery school, primary and secondary schools, and universities. Pick an education niche that interests you and start preparing!

 

RETAIL STORES

A nearby convenience store is a major advantage to any neighborhood. A close-by retail store providing everyday basic necessities such as food products, clothes, and other consumer goods is surely a good business idea to invest in. Looking at the statistics, Nigeria is a good place to invest in for the Retail Business.

Starting your own retail store may seem small and too much cost-consuming, but once into the business flow, it can bring good returns. It is a convenient and economical choice for business.

 

REAL ESTATE
