I see where we went wrong

When my parents were young, they would go farming when it rains

Fast forward to this generation, whenever the weather changes or it looks like it would rain these silly and useless girl would start shouting "This weather is the perfect weather for two"

If I was the minister for agriculture, I know it won't be possible to change everything over night but this are the steps I would take

1. Ensure that the agricultural village the past governments ran then are brought back to life. I provide at least 5 tractors each for this villages and the couple implements. It's duty is to provide mechanical assistance for intending leasee (age bracket would be followed)

2. Meet with the 3 uni of agriculture in the 3 zones and setup a farm to earn program. This schools have huge lands unused that can be cleared for students to use for different stages of farming. The government would partner with big companies. The companies provide the input, the students utilize the input and turn it into raw materials, this raw materials would be sold to the big companies at a control price advantage is
A. The companies don't need to import raw agriculture products again
B. The students can be motivated from there, some will start a company while others would go and get their own land and start farming
C. The government would have reduce unemployment and start building experienced youths from there

3. I would partner with University from each state to provide at least 100 students to carry out their project work on agriculture extension reaching out to farmers on different LG and crops, if done for 3years, the report is brought together reviewed and problems and solutions would be found from it. The government doesn't even need to spend money it's the students project they will do it, but the government can provide incentives like transportation allowance etc

4. I would mandate the state government to provide free land in any locality, the government would assist with mechanical inputs, the University will provide the knowledge and all this merged together an agricultural village would be born where graduating agricultural students can go and farm for a maximum of 2 to 3 years. The government would provide market board that buys the product and sell it. That way government can control the market.

After the tenure another set comes in those leaving can now decide on what to do with the experience they gained there.

Good ideas

Mine

1. Amend/remove the Land Use act. Its one of the reasons why there won't be serious investement in that sector. You can google how land use act messes up our Agro sector. Experts have been clamouring for its Abrogation.

2. Appoint a technocrat to oversee the Min Of Agric. Someone that sees Agriculture as a business not a social welfare scheme.

3. With the help of the technocrat who's been exposed to how things work in organised societies, we'll have commodities marketing boards ( i've forgotten what its called) where farmers sell their products at good prices.

4. Education. Our old professors of Agric in our schools need refresher courses so as to teach our students new and mordren ways of farming.

We need to be educated so as to know about the value chains in Agric. The value chains are Packaging, Transprotation, Storage, processing, etc. We need to be educated about how to tap into value chains opportunities.

So on and so forth
