2026: Don’t waste your money cultivating rice, maize, soybeans, wheat, or millet - Henlus - 01-04-2026
Don’t waste your money cultivating rice, maize, soybeans, wheat, or millet in Nigeria in 2026.
Use that money, buy two or three goats, feed them with free grasses around.
End of the year, you’ll be in profit.
Nigerian government is importing rice more come 2026.
Note: This is not investment advice, talk to your investment advisors for details.

Totally agree. Livestock seems more stable now than crop farming, especially with import policies messing up local markets.

Two or three goats? That’s small-scale, but it’s a low-risk way to start building capital.

This advice works best for beginners or people with little capital. Experienced farmers may still benefit from crop farming.

Combining goat farming with poultry or rabbits can increase profits without much extra land.

Free grasses are good, but supplemental feed will be necessary for faster growth and balanced nutrition.

I’d rather diversify: one plot of maize + some goats and free range poultry. Spreads risk.

Government imports don’t always mean local production fails. Smart farmers can still profit. Just add value or farm produce with high prices.

Always run the numbers. Even “free” grass needs land access and time investment.
