Farmers Get Debit Cards For Farming Inputs In Osun by atlwireles: 9:45pm On Aug 04, 2014 |
Osun State government has rolled out debit cards to farmers for direct and easy access to farming inputs, which include improved seedlings, pesticide and fertilisers. Governor Rauf Aregbesola, who commenced the debit cards distribution at the official launch of the Farmers’ Input and Credit Support Programme, at the Distribution Centre, AISU, Ede, said the task of arresting and eradicating the scourge of hunger and poverty as well as usher in an era of agriculture-based prosperity for farmers, the people and government will continue to form the fulcrum of his administration. The governor noted that government had brought to bear all technology-based methods for the enhancement of modern agriculture, including the Geographical Information System (GIS) and enumeration of farmers across the state. Aregbesola said his government will vigorously explore more ways of expanding and improving agricultural production and the development of agro-allied industrial base in his second term in office. The debit card will make farming easier for all those interested in embracing farming and remove excruciating burden of loans. “We came up with the aid scheme in order to correct all the anomalies that are inherent in the extant system of agricultural input distribution, while the Credit Support Programme is meant to boost the capacity of stakeholders to play their roles properly towards the development and modernisation of agriculture. “We therefore embarked on a rigourous process of due diligence by carefully and painstakingly conducting enumeration of all farmers in the state. This led to the registration of more than 50,000 farmers all over Osun,” Aregbesola said, expressing confidence on the capacity of the agricultural sector to deliver the goods on the state’s economy, as no wealth can be created sufficiently without the sector. He said: “We are convinced that there is immense potential in agriculture for job creation, wealth generation, food security, and poverty eradication. “We will continue to vigorously explore more ways of expanding and improving our agricultural production and the development of our agro-allied industrial base. “What we are doing today is continuation on the path we have consciously taken since our assumption of office. This is the empowerment of farmers and the development of agriculture for the purpose of making food available in abundance, first for feeding ourselves, then for feeding others and ultimately, the development of agro-industries for job creation and wealth generation for individuals and the government.” In his earlier remarks, Charles Akinola, coordinator, Osun Rural Enterprise and Agricultural Programme (OREAP), noted that the farmers’ input and credit support programme was first of its kind in Nigeria, saying the various assistance of Aregbesola’s administration to the farmers, which included proviso of farming input, land clearing and tractorisation, were aimed at assisting farmers without stress. He said: “The delivering of farming inputs by the government to farmers will in no small measures help in massive food production in the state.” http://businessdayonline.com/2014/08/farmers-get-debit-cards-for-farming-inputs-in-osun 7 Likes |

Even if it is to woo farmers to vote for him, this is better than "rice politics". He is teaching them how to fish rather than giving them fish. Good idea 26 Likes |

mayorall: What did the literate farmers learn in Germany? Are we planting wheat in Osun? Or do we want to start raising pigs for sausages? The money for each ticket is enough to buy a tractor.
