Every maize farmer during the last season know there was a great fall in markrt price.
Maize price per bags usually starts low and gradually rise to reach the peak.
It was not so during this just concluded season. A lot of farmers, investors make a big loss by not selling their products on time

Speculations were that some big men imported millions metric tonnes of maize into the country. This imported maize were considered to be of very high quantity , aflatoxin free and comes in at a better price.

THE CAUSE OF THE GLUTS
The maize we plants here have AFLATOXINS.
Aflatoxin is a living fungus that mainly afects maize and groundnut

It a cancer causing organisms that kills overtime. Its highly toxic. Most of the food that are destroyed during exports has some trace of aflatoxin.

There is a specific level /percentage of the toxins that must not be exceeded.

IITA Ibadan has been working on how to eliminate/reduce aflatoxin in our food products for the past 10 years.

It was discovered that this fungus contamination starts from the soil, right from the farm.

IITA has developed a biopesticide called AFLASAFE.
Aflasafe is a biopesticide for application to maize and ground nut to displace aflatoxin producing strains of Aspergillus flavus

Aflasafe is to be applied to maize farm 2 to 3 weeks before flowering at the rate of 10kg /ha.

Trainings/enlightement programmes are now been given to farmers on the use and application of Aflasafe

IITA has been meeting with major Feedmillers, poultry farmers and the stakeholders involved.

Market for aflatoxin maize will continue to decrease while aflatoxin free maize will be the order of the day

Maize farmers should please ensure the use of aflasafe on their farm.

You can visit IITA in Ibadan for more details. GOOGLE will also provide a lot of answers

The sellers of Vegetables like Tomato, Ata rodo, Tatase, Sombo usually buys from the popular mile 12 market in Lagos. Most of their location are far from the market.
The women will gladly buy from other source that will reduce the cost of transportation and at a better price.
We need individuals that will get in touch with the Vegetable sellers in their environment.

We will supply the 150 basket to your doorstep on the agreed day
The women each come with their basket pick since they have been informed.
We pay you 10% of the transaction on each basket.
