"ereQa helped me see that my cassava operation was 3x more profitable than maize. I reallocated resources and doubled my farm revenue."
Farming has a cash cycle no other sector shares: everything is spent months before anything is earned, and the earning is decided by weather and market price rather than effort. Records are what turn that from a gamble into a business.
Seed, fertiliser, agrochemicals, labour, irrigation and fuel are all spent across a season that produces income once, at the end. A monthly profit figure is meaningless; the unit that matters is the season, and the question is whether this season's inputs are on track against what the harvest can realistically return.
That also makes borrowing structurally normal in agriculture rather than a sign of trouble — and it makes an accurate record of what has been spent so far the difference between a lender saying yes and no.
Aggregate farm accounts hide the thing you most need to know: which crop, which plot or which cycle actually paid. A farm running three enterprises usually has one subsidising the others, and it is rarely the one the operator would guess.
Agriculture attracts specific reliefs and incentives under Nigerian tax law, and basic unprocessed food items are zero-rated for VAT — you charge 0% while remaining able to reclaim input VAT on your costs if you are registered.
Processing changes that. Raw produce and processed goods can fall under different treatments, so a farm that also mills, packages or preserves is operating across more than one and should get the specifics confirmed rather than applying one rule to everything.
Questions
Basic unprocessed food items are zero-rated, meaning 0% charged with input VAT still reclaimable. Processed products may be treated differently, so a farm that also processes should confirm the treatment for each product line.
Record every input against the plot, crop or cycle it was used on rather than only against the month, and set the total against the revenue that cycle eventually produces. Season is the meaningful unit in agriculture; month is not.
Typically a history of input costs, yields and sales over prior cycles. Farms are most often turned down for being unable to evidence a track record rather than for not having one, which makes contemporaneous recording the cheapest financing work you can do.
