Adamu Bello grew up in a Fulani herding family in Kano State, Nigeria, where cattle trading has been the backbone of the local economy for generations. After studying Agricultural Economics at Bayero University Kano, he spent eight years working with livestock market information systems across Nigeria's northern cattle corridor — from Maiduguri to Kara market in Ogun State.
His on-the-ground experience covers the entire West African cattle trade network: the Sahelian supply routes from Niger and Burkina Faso, the urban demand centres of Lagos and Accra, and the seasonal price dynamics driven by Eid al-Adha, Christmas, and dry season migration.
At CattlePrice Africa, Adamu leads market price reporting and analysis. His weekly price columns and seasonal buying guides have helped thousands of farmers and traders make better-timed selling decisions. He speaks Hausa, English, and Fulfulde.
