This season of global shutdown has so many lessons enbedded in it. Among which one of the most profound insight for Agripreneurs and business owners generally is to explore more avenues of making money from their business.

Before now, traditional approach to increasing revenue in most agri-businesses (especially) in Nigeria were usually tied to business activities that can only be carried out physically. 

But at times like these when covid 19 pandemic is challenging all the physical structures of doing business, it has become imperative to have online structures that can keep money flowing in.

Here are 5 ways to creating Online income streams in your Agribusiness.

1)Online Orders and sales:

Having online platforms where customers can make enquiries and place their orders which results into sales is very essential.

However, you must also be ready to listen and respond to feed backs from them.
Examples of these platforms includes social media, and websites.
