Nigeria - Business creation project

Describe your project or startup in a few words

Am from Edo State,and I see fartile land everywhere, but there are very few commercial farmers,if only I could get the proper tractors for farming even on loan in one year I would be able to harvest mostly cassava and maize in commercial quantity.

01.01 Describe your project in more detail

I find it very alarming,that Nigeria a country bless with vase land still run on scarcity of food in only am given the opportunity I dream of creating one of the biggest farm in the entire south south of Nigeria,as a subsistence farmer I can only produce very little for the market and consumption but with the right tools I believe farming can be made enviable to younger Nigerian because at the end of the day they want money right? I just want and dream to do what an average Nigeria see as suffering in the proper way,all seeds,stems can be sorted by me but I really need tractors which I can't afford,if need be I won't mind to be supervised in the process of these vision.

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

My major problem is machinery it vary bad that at these century Africans still uses crud tools like hoe and cutlass for farming, which definitely can't be enough, the government know these ,the shout everyday for people to go back to farming, but for some reason we hardly get what ever aid they seems to render to that effect mostly in the southern region with vase rain Forest I want machinery to improve farming in the south south of Nigeria
