Flip Farm Resorts has made significant strides in promoting agricultural practices and sustainable living. As we reflect on the importance of owning farm land for garden and agricultural purposes, we are reminded of the benefits of backyard farming, also known as garden farming. This approach to farming not only provides an opportunity for individuals to grow their own food but also contributes to food security, employment, and community well-being.

The recent #EndBadGovernance protests have highlighted the pressing issues of hunger and rising food costs in Nigeria. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Nigeria’s inflation rate has accelerated further to 34.19 percent in June 2024, the highest since March 1996. Food inflation, which accounts for the bulk of Nigeria’s inflation basket, surged to a record high of 40.87 percent in June. This trend is alarming and necessitates immediate attention to address the challenges facing the agricultural sector.

Growing up in the late ’80s and early ’90s, I witnessed the essence of OPERATION FEED THE NATION, an initiative by President Olusegun Obasanjo that encouraged Nigerians to own farmland and farm in their respective homes. Today, I believe that garden farming can be a major source of food for families in Nigeria, providing employment opportunities and generating income. Garden farming promotes social relationships, improves home nutrition, and contributes to food security, employment, wealth, and community well-being. It also provides an opportunity for community gardens and common areas to promote social cohesion.

However, Nigerian farmers face numerous challenges, including:

a) Limited access to credit facilities and funding: Many farmers lack access to capital to invest in their farms, leading to low productivity and income.

b) Inadequate agricultural infrastructure: The lack of storage facilities, roads, and irrigation systems hinders farmers’ ability to produce and market their products effectively.

c) Climate change and environmental degradation: Climate change and environmental degradation pose significant threats to agricultural productivity and sustainability.

d) Insecurity and herdsmen attacks: Insecurity and herdsmen attacks have led to the displacement of farmers, resulting in reduced food production and increased poverty.

e) Limited access to markets and storage facilities: Many farmers lack access to markets and storage facilities, leading to post-harvest losses and reduced income.

To eradicate hunger in Nigeria, we must address these challenges and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Investing in farmland and supporting local farmers can help to:

i) Increase food production and availability: By providing farmers with the necessary resources and support, we can increase food production and availability, reducing the reliance on imported foods.

ii) Reduce reliance on imported foods: By promoting local food production, we can reduce the reliance on imported foods, conserving foreign exchange and stimulating economic growth.

iii) Create employment opportunities and stimulate economic growth: Agriculture has the potential to create employment opportunities and stimulate economic growth, reducing poverty and inequality.

iv) Improve nutrition and health outcomes: By promoting local food production, we can improve nutrition and health outcomes, reducing the incidence of hunger and malnutrition.

v) Enhance food security and sustainability: By promoting sustainable agricultural practices, we can enhance food security and sustainability, ensuring that future generations have access to nutritious food.

In conclusion, Flip Farm Resorts has demonstrated the importance of agricultural practices and sustainable living. By investing in farmland, supporting local farmers, and promoting garden farming, we can reap numerous benefits, including food security, employment opportunities, and a positive impact on the environment. Let us work together to eradicate hunger in Nigeria and build a more sustainable future.

Farming is crucial at ensuring food security, especially in our dear country Nigeria where a significant portion of the population is not inclined to agricultural practice and do not rely on agriculture for livelihood.

I could remember at some point in our national history when we were  strictly into agriculture and our export earning  was farm produce like cocoa, rubber, groundnuts, etc. which became the country’s main source of income and the value of the Naira was even higher than the USD.

With a rapidly growing population and increasing urbanisation, the need to strengthen the agricultural sector has never been more pressing. In this article, we will explore the importance of farming at curbing food insecurity in Nigeria and also talk about key strategies that can be implemented to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure a sustainable food supply.

Economic Contribution: Agriculture can be the backbone of Nigeria’s economy, employing a large percentage of the population and contributing significantly to the country’s GDP. By investing in farming practices and supporting smallholder farmers, Nigeria can boost rural development, create employment opportunities, and improve the overall economic well-being of its citizens. We can see the present government’s policies towards agriculture which are in line with basic economic contribution.

Food Production: Farming is essential in producing the food needed to feed the growing population of Nigeria. By increasing agricultural productivity, diversifying crop production, and promoting sustainable farming practices, the country can enhance food availability, reduce food imports, and make feeding cheap and affordable by ensuring a stable food supply for Nigerians.

Poverty Alleviation: Smallholder farmers make up a significant portion of the agricultural workforce in Nigeria, many of whom live in poverty, supporting these farmers with access to resources like equipment, seeds, grants,  adequate training, and market opportunities, can help lift them out of poverty and improve their standard of living.

Nutrition and Health: Access to nutritious food is essential for the health and well-being of the population. By promoting diverse and nutrient-rich crops through farming practices, Nigeria can address malnutrition, improve public health outcomes, and reduce the prevalence of food-related illnesses.

Climate Resilience: Agriculture is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including extreme weather events, droughts, and floods. By implementing climate-smart farming practices, such as conservation agriculture, agroforestry, and water management techniques, Nigeria can build resilience in the agricultural sector and mitigate the effects of climate change on food production.

Strategies for Enhancing Agricultural

Productivity in Nigeria:

President Bola Tinubu, recently announced the establishment of the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development.

This new Ministry is expected to play a significant role in curbing food insecurity by modernising livestock practice in areas like cattle heading, improving productivity, conflict resolution, employment, revenue generation,  enhancing nutrition such as protein intake etc., all of which I will take my time to elaborate more on in my next article.

Investment in Agricultural Research and Extension Services: By supporting research institutions and extension services, Nigeria can develop innovative farming techniques, improve crop yields, and provide farmers with the knowledge and resources needed to succeed.

Funding is majorly  essential in this regard and therefore can take research to the next level thereby putting farmers in Nigeria on the same level as their globally counterparts.

Infrastructure Development: Improving rural infrastructure, such as roads, irrigation systems, and storage facilities, can help farmers access markets, reduce post-harvest losses, and increase the efficiency of the agricultural value chain.

Access to Finance: Giving smallholder farmers access to grants, credit, insurance, and financial services can help them invest in their farms, purchase inputs, and navigate economic uncertainties.

Market Linkages: Strengthening market linkages between farmers, buyers, and retailers can help farmers secure fair prices for their produce, expand their market reach, and improve their income.

Private agricultural practice:  With the increasing demand for agricultural products, owning farmland or leasing is instrumental in improving agricultural gains, it is also good to note that investing in farmland requires careful consideration and planning. Before buying farmland, one should evaluate his or her goals and assess the land’s suitability for such  purposes. Factors such as soil type, water availability, and weather patterns should all be considered before purchasing farmland. One should also consult with experts to learn more about land management, farming practices and investment.

Finally, owning a land provides an opportunity to secure an appreciating asset that can generate income for years to come. By leasing land to farmers, or engaging in farm practices or raising livestock, young people can generate a stable source of income on the side.

This and many more innovations and ideas are strategies to enhance agricultural productivity in Nigeria.

In conclusion, farming can enhance food security in Nigeria by ensuring food availability, economic development, poverty alleviation, and sustainable agriculture growth and development.

With Government and private sector investment in the agricultural sector, implementation of supportive policies like the new ministry of livestock, and empowerment of smallholder farmers, Nigeria can enhance its food security, improve the livelihoods of its citizens, and build a resilient and sustainable agricultural system for the future.

Agriculture holds significant potential to boost Nigeria’s foreign exchange earnings. As one of the most populous countries in Africa with a rich endowment of agricultural resources, it is no news that Nigeria cannot only meet its own food needs but also become a major player in global agricultural markets. Here are several ways in which agriculture can help us increase our foreign exchange earnings:

Export of our Cash Crops: We have always been a major exporter of crops like cocoa, groundnuts, palm oil, and rubber. Reinvesting in these sectors and improving yields through modern agricultural techniques can significantly improve our production and exports. Also, diversifying into other lucrative crops like cashews, sesame seeds, and horticultural products can open new markets, in other words, the government can look into ways and means by which an average farmer can grow in capacity thereby giving room for export.

Value Add: By processing agricultural products locally, we can add value before exporting. For example, instead of exporting raw cocoa beans, we can process them into finished or semi-finished products like chocolate or cocoa butter which can fetch higher prices on the international market. This also creates jobs locally and stimulates the domestic economy.

Organic and Non-GMO Products: there is a growing demand globally for organic and non-genetically modified (non-GMO) products. Nigeria can capitalize on this trend by promoting organic farming practices and certifying organic products, we have a vast land that is rich and versatile, and we can leverage on the growing need for organic products, which will generally sell at a premium in international markets.

Agro-Tourism: tourism combined with agriculture can be another source of foreign exchange. Tourists are attracted to farm experiences, where they are close to nature, and the farm gives them a better perception of that experience, they also learn about local farming practices and participate in activities like fruit picking and rural stays. This generates direct income and promotes other sectors like hospitality and transportation.

Government Policies and Incentives: Effective government policies can play a crucial role in boosting agricultural exports. A very good example is the present government’s exceptional agricultural policies which I believe will impact the economy positively in the near future. Policies such as providing subsidies, improving access to finance for farmers, investing in agricultural research and development, and negotiating favorable trade agreements with other countries.

Infrastructural development: Investment in critical infrastructure such as access roads, storage facilities, and irrigation systems can reduce post-harvest losses and improve the overall quality of agricultural products. Efficient logistics are crucial for maintaining the quality of exports and reducing costs.

Tech and Agriculture: Leveraging tech such as precision agriculture, drones, and agricultural apps can help increase farm productivity and management. Better production techniques can lead to higher yields and quality, making Nigerian agricultural products more competitive globally.

Sustainability Practices: Implementing sustainable farming practices that help preserve the environment and also appeal to a global audience that is increasingly sensitive to the environmental impacts of agriculture. For example, less use of chemicals, better water management, and soil conservation techniques. Now that we have discussed export and foreign exchange let us come back home and talk about how we can feed ourselves before talking about export.

Agro-Education and Youth Involvement: one major mistake the present government shouldn’t make is to underestimate youth involvement. We shouldn’t make the mistake of the past whereby not considering a succession plan. In the 70s the then government invested in agriculture massively but there was a decline in the agricultural sector, which we are paying for now. Youth empowerment and Agro-education are important.

Encouraging more young people to engage in agriculture through education, incentives, and modernization of the sector can rejuvenate the agricultural workforce. Innovative educational programs that combine technology and practical farming skills can make agriculture more appealing to the youth

Agro-Processing Zones: Establishing Agro-Processing Zones in designated regions where agricultural processing and production can be enhanced can help reduce post-harvest losses, add value to raw agricultural products, and attract private investment. These zones can be equipped with necessary infrastructure, such as steady electricity supply, water, and logistics, to encourage local and foreign investment.

By focusing on these areas, we as Nigerians can enhance our agricultural productivity, increase exports, and boost our foreign exchange earnings, contributing significantly to economic stability and growth.

Tunde and Femi were childhood friends who grew up in the same small town. They both had a passion for investment and dreamed of securing their financial future. However, as they grew older, their paths diverged. Tunde went ahead to invest in a farmland they were both given the opportunity to purchase while Femi chose to ignore the offer.

Years later, Tunde and Femi met again at their university alumni party. Tunde is now a successful farmer who has invested in acquiring acres of farmland and producing high-quality crops and livestock, while Femi on the other hand was struggling with just the plot of land in a remote side of town, they had both obtained earlier in life. As they caught up, Femi couldn’t help but express his regret at not investing in acquiring the farmland as an alternate business security when he had the chance. He realized that he had missed out on a great opportunity to secure his financial future with little investment.

This story highlights the importance of young people investing in farmland. It also allows individuals to pursue their passion for farming and contribute to the local food system. In this article, we will explore the benefits of investing in farming and how it can help our nation in the present times.

Investing in Farming can be an excellent financial decision for people seeking to secure their financial future. With the growth of urbanization and population, the demand for agricultural land is continuously increasing, making it a valuable asset to hold onto over time. It also provides opportunities for income generation through Leasing of the land to other farmers or farming on it oneself. On the other hand, owning farmland provides opportunities for income generation through livestock production. It can also provide many health benefits such as physical activity, exposure to nature, and access to fresh and nutritious food.

One of the benefits of investing in farmland is that it is a finite resource, meaning that its value appreciates over time. As cities expand, more people are looking for fresh produce, and farmland is becoming a scarce commodity. Economic growth is essential and agriculture can contribute significantly to Nigeria’s GDP, also serves as a source of income for farmers and agribusinesses, contributing to overall economic growth and growing our foreign exchange earnings. These exports can generate foreign exchange earnings for the country, helping to support the economy and stabilize the exchange rate. In all what we need as Nigerians presently is engaging in farming activities which can provide employment opportunities, infrastructure development, and help to reduce poverty and improve living standards. Overall, agriculture is a vital sector of the Nigerian economy that should not be taken for granted, its continued growth and development are essential for ensuring food security, economic stability, and sustainable development in the country.

With the increasing demand for agricultural products in Nigeria, the sales/leasing of farmland is becoming a lucrative business. Ranch land can also be used for the cultivation of grains, and casava to livestock, such as cattle, sheep, or birds providing a source of income.

Owning a farmland can also provide many health benefits. Farming and ranching activities are physically demanding and can help keep individuals in good physical shape. Working with soil has also been linked to improved mental health, as it can be a meditative and grounding activity. Furthermore, growing one’s food can provide access to fresh and healthy produce, promoting a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.

Finally, raising livestock provides access to high-quality meat and dairy products, which are rich in nutrients and provide health benefits.

It is also good to note that investing in farmland requires careful consideration and planning. Before buying farmland, one should evaluate his or her goals and assess the land’s suitability for their purposes. Factors such as soil type, water availability, and weather patterns should all be considered before purchasing a farmland. One should also consult with experts to learn more about land management, farming practices, and investment.

Owning land provides an opportunity to secure an appreciating asset that can generate income for years to come. By buying or leasing farmland or farming it oneself, and raising livestock, young people can generate a stable source of income on the side.

In conclusion, if you want to (Are you going to end up) secure your financial future like Tunde you can reach us on our website www.flipfarmsresort.co.ng and Instagram @flip_farm_resort or lose a great opportunity as Femi did. It is up to you. The choice is yours!

Babajide Akinseye

Principal Consultant on Agricultural Soil/ Farming/  

Flip Farm Resort.

The MD/CEO, Flip Farms Resort, an arm of Flip Properties Ltd speaks with Lanre Shodimu on the activities of his firm and its commitment to food Security and the growth of the Real Estate industry in Nigeria.

Sir, give us some insights into Flip Farm Resort!

Flip Farm Resort is an  agricultural resort service which  basically is into sales of Farmlands, for those who want to venture in agricultural activities.

We have a product called Agro to Home, where lands that are used as farms,  eventually become places where people reside when developments come in. So that is what we basically  do here at Flip Farm Resort.

You have been into the sale of land for Agricultural purposes for sometime now, what informed your decision?

Well, I have always loved farming. I stumbled into the real estate business and discovered that real estate often appreciates with time, and with my agricultural instinct, I realised that I can go into land banking, use the same land for agricultural purposes and still sell at real estate value.

We went into it fully after the purchase of about 100 acres of land located in Awowo, Ogun State. We  could not farm the entire land because it is so massive and we started selling acres to other  farmers and it was indeed lucrative. This is just as we have always emphasised in our marketing activities on the need for diversification in our investment drive and since then, we have been promoting the sales of farmlands, acquiring more farmlands and selling more farmlands, and that is where we are today.

Where are these lands located?

Our lands are located in Awowo in Ewekoro, Ogun State. Our lands in Awowo are certified for farming by the Ogun State government. The soil has been tested and certified for farming purposes. We have several other big farms out there with huge mechanised capacities. The reason we acquire lands there is because of the land’s readiness for agricultural purposes.

We also have farmlands in Epe, Ijebu, and somewhere in Alamala in Abeokuta, and we are hoping to expand to Oyo and Ilorin very soon.

How certified are these lands and how free are they from all encumbrances?

Our lands are free from government acquisition and suitable for agricultural purposes. We are  located in areas that are safe from herdsman incursion and banditry. You will have no land grabbing experience if you buy from us. If you buy land from us, you are covered and safe from the menace of “omonile” and any other form of threats to the ownership of the land.

Kindly lead us into some of your packages and offers!

We have several packages and offers which include – N1 Million per acre, N1.7 Million for two acres, N3 Million for 5 acres, N6 Million for 10 acres. These are some of our basic packages of farmlands.

What policies does the government need to put in place to ensure your activities are seamless?

Well, with the present state of the economy as regards food security, the favourable government policies include financial grants that can enable us to boost farming activities, getting seedlings from the government through the Ministry of Agriculture and also from states and local governments. This will enable us to engage in farming activities on a large scale such as mechanised farming to enable us to give back to the society.

We engage in maize and cassava farming, and we can definitely expand on what we presently do.

Several reasons have been adduced to food inflation we currently have, do you think Nigeria is not engaging in adequate farming activities?

We are certainly not engaging in farming activities up to our capacity, however, we are trying our best. It is definitely going to take a while to get back on our feet in terms of agriculture. Past governments have tried their best in agricultural development, and the present government is taking it up from there.

Several interventions have been made by the Federal and State Governments since the problem started, so I feel we just need to keep doing more and we will definitely get there. I am therefore using this medium to encourage fellow Nigerian Youths to look at agriculture as a way out.

If we maximize our agricultural potential, we will begin to export more agricultural produce, meaning we have more than enough to feed ourselves, exporting agricultural produce will improve our foreign earnings and also boost our GDP.

What other aspects of Real Estate investment are you involved in?

Aside from the sale of farmlands, we also have our private Estate for sale. It is a mini Estate in Awowo, Ogun State. We are selling a service plot at N800,000 per plot, strictly residential, and already has quite a number of people that have subscribed and are already building on it.

We also have several real estate activities we do such as property management, sales, and lease.

Give us an honest assessment of the Real Estate sector in the past 10 years…

Well, the sector has grown fast and has grown tremendously.  It’s the only industry that has been sustaining Housing in the country.

The private sector is actually doing the bulk of housing provision, while the state and federal governments are doing a little percentage of it.
