Personally, I do not have my land and I don’t have enough money to lease or rent. I use my husband’s land, which is always available for me.I considered two basic things, which are soil and market. The soil in Jigawa is good for the crops I cultivate so they grow well and I have good output. Secondly, the market is readily available. I don’t have to wait for a long time before the produce are all bought off.

So I sold the 39 bags for N545,000 and N320, 000.
