 AGRICULTURE (THE LAST MAN STANDING)

The  "last man standing" refers to a competition, or contest, in which the field of participants is narrowed until only a single individual remains. "The last man standing" originally applied to the last boxer to remain upright during a match. The last man standing in this contest is "AGRICULTURE". 



Subsistence farming has now become what sustains a lot of households in the country. Crude oil is one but the impact of agriculture on the Nigerian economy cannot be overemphasized. Agriculture in its part has helped to improve human lives in many ways which include;

1. Food Production 

2. Provision of shelter and clothing

3. Job creation (employment opportunities)

4. Provision of raw materials for industrial use

5. Generation of foreign exchange earnings etc.

The above mentioned have notably helped Agriculture to have an immense contribution to Nigeria's GDP with a notable increase in percentage year in and year out.

In past years, the Nigerian government has only channeled all its energies and effort to the oil and gas sector neglecting Agriculture or giving it little or less consideration. Now, crude oil is no longer what it use to be, Do you know there is a decline in its price in the international market?

 The consequences of this decline have resulted in a lot of people losing their job, paid employment is now difficult to find, etc. However, the result of this development has made the country rethink its strategies on how revenue can be generated and multiplied. 

Agriculture has been singled out among many to be the new crude oil of the economy i.e the new currency of the economy in which massive investment is now being poured into it. After all struggles among all other sectors, Agriculture remains the only standing man in this ring of the fight. Kudos to Agriculture.

It's a known fact that the demand for food and meat for everyday life in Nigeria is not met yet because Nigeria's Agriculture still produces below its expectations. 



A wake-up call for investors to come invest here. You don't need huge money or capital to invest in agriculture. Start with small-scale agriculture and grow from there. You can check and make your research on how to invest in it. Think agriculture, invest in Agriculture, discuss Agriculture, and make cool money in agriculture.
