Chijioke O.

I'm a PhD researcher and university faculty member specialising in African markets, agriculture, and agribusiness, with 10+ years turning hard-to-find information into decisions clients can act on. Most research freelancers can pull a list. Fewer can tell you whether it holds up, which suppliers are real, whether a "market size" figure is inflated, whether a commodity number reflects the actual ground truth in West Africa. That judgment is what a decade of academic and field research buys you. Where I go deep: African market & industry research (agriculture, agritech, commodities, agribusiness) Company, competitor & supplier research across African markets Commodity and price research verified against real sources, not aggregator guesses Broader research & data work I deliver just as reliably: Lead generation & verified contact/prospect lists Web, market & niche research Data collection, cleaning, extraction & spreadsheet organisation Recent results: Mapped 30–50 AgriTech hubs and accelerators across West Africa (5★, client-endorsed) Multi-project commodity, labour-cost and animal-feed research for a returning client (5★) Cassava farming and agribusiness consulting, praised for depth and clear organisation (5★) AI-literate, but human-verified. I use modern AI research tools (I'm Google AI– and prompt-engineering–certified) to work faster, but every finding is checked against credible sources before it reaches you. You get the speed of AI with none of the made-up data. Tools: Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, Google Workspace, Notion, Perplexity, and other AI research tools. Please tell me what you're trying to find or decide, and I'll tell you exactly how I'd approach it and what's realistic.
