Business Description of PATILAD Beans/Cowpea Farming Business Plan in Nigeria

Business: Beans/Cowpea Farming

Industry: Agriculture

 

PATILAD Beans/Cowpea Farm is a budding beans farm with a drive for excellence, quality, innovation and standard practice. We are based in Benue Nigeria, with a 20 hectare land dedicated to beans farming. Beans/cowpea being an everyday staple in the average Nigerian diet, its demand are always at the high side. The large storage capacity needed and labour demand for beans has made it carry a high price margin in the market.

In most parts of Nigeria Cowpea is been processed into other by products such as moin-moin, bean cake, bean soup etc. It contains 20%-25% of protein and 64% carbohydrate and has potential for poverty alleviation and malnutrition amongst the poor; also all parts of cowpea are useful, its vegetative part is good feed for cattle. This shows that all over Nigeria Cowpea is consumed in so many forms, thereby increasing the demand for cowpea.

PATILAD Beans/Cowpea Farm is going to be producing 20metric tonnes of cowpea yearly. The tropic climate that is predominantly hot at the north of the equator results in the viability of the bean seed, together with scientific breakthroughs that guarantees us of improved tough disease resistant beans. As Nigeria’s agriculture minister reports recently that Nigeria has finally broken the wheat jinx, as we now have improved wheat seeds that can withstand high temperatures and thrive in Sub-Sahara African soil.

IITA (2009) noted that there is a big market for the sale of Cowpea grains and fodders in West Africa and in Nigeria farmers who store Cowpea fodder for sale at the peak of the dry season have been found to increase their annual income by 25%. It also serves as income generating avenues for other value chain actors within the cowpea chain. Cowpea ensures returns for both the marketers and producers which in turn aids sustainability of the system. Nigeria must grow a lot more of its own beans and reduce the national, economic and political risks from depending on other nations for our food supply. It’s reported from the agriculturenigeria online hub that Nigeria is the largest producer of Cowpea worldwide, as 58% of worldwide production comes from Nigeria and still the largest consumer of the crop. To supplement our production, substantial amounts of Cowpea come into Nigeria from Cameroon and Niger republic.

Today, we are reviving hope for Nigeria to produce more beans and free itself from decades of dependence on neighbouring countries like Cameroon. Currently it’s reported in the daily trust news about the increasing demand for beans from India, and the prospects are in millions of metric tonnes.

PATILAD Cowpea Farm, which has harvested its first yield of 10 metric tonne and seeking some investment to raise a Silo and processing machine at a cost of N30,000,000 needed for preservation of grains and also processing for the next harvest, which we estimated to be almost twice our first harvest.

Beyond just a science or profession, agriculture is an enterprise I had invested the most of my time as an individual. As a way of practice, I have also devoted the most of my time and resources to managing and expanding my family’s little farmstead into a commercial outfit. These experiences have fortified my knowledge and resilience for this chosen profession and I am sure the lessons of yesteryears will prove of immense value. My first degree in Agriculture from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, will also be of great benefit to the growth of this new enterprise. Moreover, there is an insatiable online community seeking for reliable, new and updated information every day.
