POTATO FARMING BUSINESS PLAN IN NIGERIA
Vicampro Potato Farms is located in the Eweje community of Odeda Local Government in Abeokuta City, Ogun State. Though there are multiple potato farms in Abeokuta city, ours is outstanding because we want to be able to offer fresh, smooth, well-shaped and defect-free potatoes to our consumers.
In planting and producing them, we are concerned with the state of the soil and weather conditions. As you may be aware that potatoes are a good source of fibre, which can help to lose weight. The fibre can also help to avoid heart disease by keeping cholesterol and blood sugar levels in check. Potatoes contain antioxidants that help to prevent diseases and vitamins that help the body function appropriately. Hence, we select the best planting techniques to ensure maximum harvest and productivity.
Our location is a scarcely populated area with lots of available land for planting potatoes. A functional borehole also serves as a source of water supply to the potato farm. There is minimal use of machines with a good electricity supply and road network. Our potatoes don’t have any issues with defects.
We always have positive reviews when consumers use our products, which has helped improve our farming strategy. As our customers have been able to advertise us with words of mouth, we also own functional social media handles where we converse with customers to know how to deliver better and market our products.

Why should you patronize our products and services?
We offer the best and most modern way of potato farming. We use technological tools that help our potatoes grow and mature well, free from blights and diseases that can impact consumer health negatively.

Most potato farms are sited in towns where poor drainages affect growth. Most farmers also plant potatoes on infertile and poorly drained soils, negatively influencing the potatoes.
On the contrary, we are strategically positioned in a scarcely populated area to avoid these problems. We enjoy a good supply of water, and our location allows vehicular movement. Our potato farm enjoys 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. The tubers are grown on fertile, loose and well-drained soil. Thus, our potatoes are free from diseases and contamination.
