Opportunities for Agro cell
Business opportunity is found in buyer’s needs and interests; specially, where there is a high probability that a individual can profit by satisfying those needs and
interests. Agri-inputs demands can be put in the following categories:
1. Agri-Input demand due to seed shortages at planting. There is a regular seed demand as result of inadequate seed stocks. It is very common for most
resource-poor farmers to run short of agri-inputs. There is also an irregular demand due to acute agri-inputs situations, such as drought or floods.
2. Demand for new agri-inputs varieties to respond to emerging agri-input markets.
3. Improved agri-input varieties with improved agri-input quality to increase productivity and profits.
