TROPICAL CATTLE RANCH EKITI INGROWER SCHEME
INGROWER EMPOWERMENT SCHEME (EKITI STATE)
Let us start by understanding the TROPICAL Scheme’s basics and then EKITI’s peculiarities.
The Basics of the TROPICAL Ingrower Scheme:
Concentration of resources and individual effort on an industrial scale in a large expanse of land in a single location.
Economy of scale, sound organization, effective management controls, efficient facilities, logistics and support services are provided.
Careful selection of the right candidates (with the required performance profile).
Combining (1-3) with the individual Farmer-Entrepreneur’s motivation, initiative and incentive to excel, and focused mission with clear milestones:
“You get what you give, and your success is your own hands”.
Daily on-the-job understudy of industrial Agricultural management practices and economics from land preparation, seed selection, sowing, tending, harvesting and processing.
Industry standards, measures, traceability and transparency of resource inputs and accountability for results and consequence management instill business discipline.
Efficient Year-round (Dry-and-Wet season) demand market -driven farming:
Cycles per year: Vegetables (4), Maize (3), Soya Beans (3), Beans (3), Sweet Potato (3)
Efficient marketing channels and established off-taker system ensures profitable guaranteed price structure for contract production and processing.
TROPICAL’s adaptation of industrial management techniques to agriculture ensures that resource inputs are documented and transparently visible to entrepreneurs; they are also methodically applied to the intended ends with each person working hard to earn his or her income. Also, benefits are visible, returns and rewards are rational and commensurate to each person’s output. Lazy work is discouraged, sanctions are applied and non-performers are shown the exit. This makes everyone to put forth their best. It is a different culture from the Civil/Public Service; it is the right one for development.
