Farming is a business, and profitability starts with strategy. Here are five ways smallholder farmers can increase earnings:
1. Crop Diversification – Don’t depend on one crop; mix cash crops with food crops. 2. Value Addition – Instead of selling raw produce, process it (e.g., turning cassava into garri). 3. Direct Market Sales – Sell directly to consumers instead of middlemen. 4. Smart Cost Management – Reduce waste, optimize fertilizer use, and go for bulk purchases. 5. Leverage Technology – Use mobile apps for weather updates, pest control, and price tracking.
Farming is no longer just about planting—it’s about strategy and innovation.
