3 THE FARMER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW AS A FARMER/PRODUCER: 1. IDENTIFY YOUR MARKET. ARE YOU SELLING TO THE TRADITIONAL MARKETS, RETAIL OUTLETS, FOOD PROCESSORS, CATERERS, HOTELS, EXPORT/AGOA, ETC 2. IDENTIFY THE FAST MOVING CONSUMER GOODS IN THE MARKET SUCH AS RICE, CHICKEN, EGGS, BEEF, TOMATOES, BEANS, YAM, FISH, ETC 3. UNDERSTAND THE MARKET TREND AND PAYMENT PLAN OF YOUR MARKET {DO THEY BUY ON CREDIT,, CASH AND CARRY, SOR, ETC}. IF YOU WANT FAST CASH THEN SELL TO THE TRADITIONAL MARKETS AT A LOWER MARGIN, OR ADOPT A FARM GATE MODEL. WHERE BOTH WHOLESALERS OR RETAILERS CAN PURCHASE FROM YOU DIRECTLY 4. LOGISTICS: PROPER STORAGE, PROPER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND PROPER HANDLING. THESE HELP PREVENT LOSS AND PRESERVE SHELF LIFE OF PRODUCE. 5. PRICING YOUR PRODUCTS: DO A PROPER COST ANALYSIS IN ORDER TO AVOID SELLING AT A LOSS MARKET INTELLIGENCE HELPS YOU STRATEGIZE BETTER DEMAND AND SUPPLY DETERMINE PRICES. DURING SCARCITY YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR PRICE AND REDUCE IT DURING A GLUT. THE QUALITY OF YOUR PRODUCTS DO NOT BE TOO EXPENSIVE. THIS ATTRACTS HIGHER TURNOVER.

FOR TRADITIONAL MARKETS YOU MUST CONSULT THE UNION /ASSOCIATION LEADERS. FOR THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY YOU CAN APPROACH THEM INDIVIDUALLY. 6. ELIMINATE DIRT AND SEDIMENTS FROM PRODUCE LIKE RICE, ETC

5 TIPS ON MARKETING YOUR PRODUCE 1. ADOPT THE FARM GATE MODEL IN DENSELY POPULATED AREAS THEN SPREAD THE WORD TO RETAILERS WHO SELL SUCH ITEMS. MAINTAIN LOW PRICES TO ATTTRACT PATRONAGE. 2. THE MORE YOU PRODUCE, THE CHEAPER YOUR SELLING PRICE SHOULD BE. THIS AUTOMATICALLY INCREASES YOUR TURNOVER. 3. ELIMINATE THE MIDDLE MAN IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT. SELL DIRECTLY TO THE END-USER. 4. IF YOU ARE DEALING WITH SUPERMARKETS OR HOTELS AND EATERIES, YOU MUST SEND IN YOUR LETTER OF INTRODUCTION AND A DETAILED PRICE LIST. 5. AGREE ON A PAYMENT PLAN THAT SUITS YOU. 6. INVOICES, RECEIPTS AND DELIVERY NOTES SHOW PROFESSIONALISM. 7. BE READY TO GIVE YOUR CUSTOMERS FREE SAMPLES FROM TIME TO TIME. 8. BE CONSISTENT WITH AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCE 9. ENSURE THAT THE PRODUCE IS IN DEMAND AT THE TIME IN ORDER TO AVOID SELLING AT A LOSS. 10. BE PATIENT BUT PERSISTENT
