Course Overview
Agro-commodity trading is a trading system where middlemen buy agricultural commodities where and when they are been produced and selling where and when they are scarce. The middlemen often go as far as getting the commodities directly from the area where they are surplus and store till when they are scarce. The main aim is to make more profit and make the commodities more available and accessible for people even when they are not in their season. Agro-commodity trading in Nigeria is a very lucrative system that serves as a means where people make money with calculated risks.
In the light of this, the middlemen take advantage of bumper harvest seasons, buying agro-commodities from farmers in their season at a reduced price. This gives the middlemen a lot of profit to leverage on because they are aiming to sell at a much better price where there is high demand for them. In agro-commodity trading in Nigeria, not only tangible products are being sold. Services relating to agribusiness are also being rendered. For example, the agricultural consultants do render service.
