Technology is helping middle-class Nigerians turn to farming without getting their hands dirty

For decades, various Nigerian administrations have championed the idea of diversifying an oil-dependent economy with agriculture often been cited as the top alternative. But rather than match bluster with action, Africa’s largest oil producer has perennially remained reliant on it’s biggest export.

More than 80% of farmers in Nigeria are small holder farmers who cultivate a few acres of land to feed their family and also sell produce to earn a living. Yet, while the government has failed woefully—getting middle-class Nigerians to take up farming—thanks to technology, a renowned agro-tech company called Oxford Green Farm's Limited, is striding in this sector

Rather than purchase farmlands and get involved in the daily routine of the industry, OXFORD GREEN FARM LIMITED enables interested Nigerians to Invest funds as low as 100k to 20mil for a short period of 9months (Farm Focus: Pepper Plantation) and earn up a share of profits.

For the investors, the entire process seamlessly happens online. Once signed up, they’are kept in the loop with bi-weekly email updates and videos detailing the progress of farms and expected harvest. At the end of a harvest cycle, investors receive the Principal(Capital) plus a pre-agreed profit margin of 40%. No physical interaction required although investors can visit farmlands if they wish to.

With capital from its Investors, equipment and technical support to plant and harvest crops. To ensure quick sale of harvested produce, Oxford Green Farm's secures purchase orders from prospective buyers before each harvest cycle to ensure that supply matches demand.

(Henry Ogunkorode said Oxford Green Farm's is focused on production and sales rather than storage at the moment.)
