    From Farmcrowdy to Thrive Agric, Here are 6 Agric Investment Platforms With Healthy Risk and RoI Levels

    They say saving is good but investing is better. While investing in stocks are not bad, it can, however, quickly become a 50-50 affair. Following the outbreak of the coronavirus, Nigerian stocks fell last month, with an All Share Index of 26,216.46. This is its lowest since February 2017.

    These crowd investment platforms are worth taking a look at if you haven't. Farmkart, CrowdyInvest, EZ farming all really good options to invest A PORTION of your savings in seeing as Tbills and mutual fund rates keep falling.

    — Tope (@TuslowT) December 23, 2019

    Agriculture, however, remains a very viable sector begging for investors. There are some credible Agric investment platforms that you can invest your money through. We decided to bring you four of the ones with lesser risks and the most promising Returns on Investment (ROI).

    Farmcrowdy

    Since its launch in 2016, FarmCrowdy has grown to become trusted by investors and farmers alike. The Agric investment options on Farmcrowdy allow people to be part of farming ventures ranging from poultry to ginger, tomatoes and other farming ventures.

    Depending on what the selected venture is, the ROI can range from 11% to more or less, and investment period can extend to 6 months or more. As a way of keeping its investors informed, Farmcrowdy provides updates on their ventures two times every month.

    Farmcrowdy

    Farmcrowdy has a mobile and web application that investors can open accounts through. From the app, people can stay informed of what investment opportunities are available per time and keep track of the investments.

    Some investable products listed on Farmcrowdy’s website are Maize, poultry farm, cassava, soybeans and rice. For further inquiries, mails can be sent through this link.

    Thrive Agric

    This agro-investment startup makes it possible for people to support agricultural ventures by investing in farms at specific seasons. Investors earn a return on their investments depending on the duration and the amount they invest.

    Thrive Agric funds farms that plant rice and soybeans. They also engage in poultry farming among other things. The startup has a mobile application that people can use to make new investments or monitor ongoing ones.

    An investor on the platform, Habeeb Bayo described the platform as awesome. “It is easy to use and farm funding is very fast.” Similarly, another investor, Peace Eromonsele says “The app is great as it makes it easier to access services. Thrive Agric is a great place to invest money.”

    Agric investments on Thrive Agric mature between 3 to 9 months and returns range from 6% to 25%.

    EZ Farming

    EZ Farming doesn’t refer to itself as just an Agric investment platform as it chooses to pride itself as the first-ever farm accelerator in Nigeria. EZ Farming describes itself as a ‘modern agricultural investment company empowering generation Z to farm with ease.’

    EZ Farming aims at empowering youths through agriculture

    Launched in 2018, the platform aims to connect youth farmers to investors and provide a platform for Agric investment. Investors can earn between 11% to 45% on their investments, depending on their investment portfolios.

    EZ Farming currently doesn’t have an app although it has an active website. The company has also received a great deal of funding as well as multiple awards.

    FarmKart

    Farmkart allows people to invest in its livestock farm which is located in Ogun state. Investments on this platform can yield returns of up to 30%. The platform’s livestock farm includes ventures such as poultry and fishery.

    From Farmcrowdy to Thrive Agric, Here are 6 Agric Investment Platforms for You
    FarmKart fish farm

    Some of Farmkart’s Agric investments are for a period of 6 months, while some are for 12 months. Others still may be for lesser or longer periods. Prospective investors can click here to invest.

    Besides its website, Farmkart does not have a mobile application that users can monitor ventures and track investments with.

    FarmFunded

    With Farmfunded, people can invest in agribusiness ventures which include trading of commodities. Some of the commodities traded by the platform, as listed on its website, include rice, groundnut, maize and ginger.

    On Farmfunded, you can invest in Agric products like ginger (image: Farmfunded)

    Its Return on Investment range from 13% to 30% depending on what investment unit is available. There is currently no mobile application available for FarmFunded.

    People who want to invest in the ventures listed by FarmFunded can do so from here.

    ChubiAgro

    This agro-investment platform also allows people to invest in agricultural ventures through its platform. As at press time, investment units in the available farms, most of which were rice farms, had been sold out.

    ChubiAgro deals mainly in rice investments

    However, ChubiAgro states on its website that it is 100% insured and listed a Return on Investment of 22% for some of the Agric investments listed. According to ChubiAgro, one unit of investment in a rice farm costs N50,000.

    Currently, ChubiAgro has not released a mobile application for people to access its services. Thus, its website as the only interface for doing business. However, regular mails are sent out by the startup and further enquiries can be made here.

    In conclusion…

    While there are other Agric investment platforms, the five listed above are all insured. They are worth checking out in the bid to find credible investment opportunities.

    @TomieBalogun did not start out with the goal to p @TomieBalogun did not start out with the goal to provide highly sought-after financial insights for over 60,000 Millenials by the year 2021. But, when she realized that she had a challenge with increasing her wealth even after working a number of corporate jobs, she decided to do something about it.

Currently, her fintech startup, The Green Investment Club, is on the verge of committing a 6-figure fund in dollars into a venture capital (VC) vehicle to be invested into African startups. TGIC has invested over $14 million into small and medium businesses and created more than 2,000 jobs. Tomie is also the founder of The Vestract Company; a financial education and investment opportunity platform.

    For many people, managing money and knowing the ri For many people, managing money and knowing the right opportunities to invest in is still a challenge. A survey of over 2,000 youths in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Cote D’Ivoire by Geopoll revealed that more young Nigerians only save after spending than their counterparts in other countries.

More youths in Tanzania and Uganda set aside a fixed amount to save than in Nigeria and Ivory Coast, who are more likely to save what remains after spending

The popularity of apps like @Piggybankng and @Cowrywise has made more people curious about saving, investing and creating a financial strategy to grow their money. However, there is need for more apps that take a more deliberate and friendly approach towards gaining financial intelligence and map out a sustainable path to monetary stability.

This is where Fundall comes in. @get_Fundall is a fintech service whose app is available for download on android and iOS.

    Things are gradually returning to normal as the nu Things are gradually returning to normal as the number of covid-19 cases continues to fall. Although it may take a while before we hug people or shake hands without second thoughts, things are getting better.

Only 523 new cases were recorded between April 6 and 13. This is a slight increase compared to the 497 people that tested positive over the previous week. Two weeks earlier, Technext reported that 584 people tested positive.

The numbers show a sustained decrease in the spread of infections across the country. Indeed the Lagos state government is now confident enough to allow event centres and relaxation centres to increase their crowd capacity. Along with that, here are other developments during the week.

    Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously ma Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously mark the 74th birthday of Nigerian music legend and highlife maestro Oliver de Coque, one of Africa’s most prolific recording artists of all time.

The Doodle, created by Lagos-based graphic artist and illustrator @OhabTBJ, pays tribute to the guitarist who died in June 2008 at the age of 61, following a heart attack. The creative inspiration was drawn from De Coque’s love for the guitar, his energetic performance style, his unique music brand, and his love of tradition and culture.
