Need for an UPGRADE in Agro-Investment

In the last few years, much has been said about the need to promote investment in agriculture. Clearly, Nigeria is not short of ideas and models on how to facilitate investment in the agricultural sector.


The various strategic plans and programs are perhaps among the best designed for any developing country. And given the country's abundance of natural and other resources, how far are we from the day when Nigeria can substitute locally produced commodities for imports?

Critical stakeholders, including farmer associations, organized private sector players and the public sector, need to make irrevocable commitment to contribute their individual shares without prompting or coercion.

The current effort by the Government of Nigeria to provide 200 billion Naira through the Commercial Agricultural Credit Scheme; is a welcome step, one that must also be implemented in practice through transparent access to credit through bona fide agro-business initiatives.

THE UPGRADE must be clear and measured.

We at kitchenmata.com are poised to see this feat come to pass as we are targeting a 5000 member of major independent network of farmers to form our KFN mega plan for promoting the SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT of food items from the farm straight to the kitchen.

We are aiming at starting from the major players and top shots in the Agro-allied industries... and bring it down to the average farmer in remote areas
