The minister of agriculture and rural development, Audu Ogbeh commending the agency said the portal will help increase patronage of Nigeria’s agricultural products internationally and locally.

“We will collaborate with your agency on this laudable initiative and we are starting right now by constituting a working team that will work further on the contents of the portal because it is very key for the effectiveness of the project,” Ogbeh said.
The minister also said the team that produce portal have been saddled with the responsibility of ensuring the elimination of inaccurate information and data on the portal.


He urged the agency to make provisions for the sourcing of agricultural finances in the portal to enable farmers have a lead for credit facilities for their businesses.

Also speaking, the acting director general of the agency, Vincent Olatunji said the project is expected to provide an information communications and technology-driven agricultural sector.

Olatunji said: “The portal is a one-stop shop for all relevant stakeholders in the agriculture sector to unlock the full potentials of agriculture as business.”

Olatunji said information on the portal would increase the agricultural value chain of the farmers to the final consumers as well as agro allied companies.

It will also provide access to updated farming techniques and practices as well as other relevant information and resources for farmers and other industry stakeholders.

“It is envisioned that the escalation of national e-agriculture web portal, led by FMARD with funding and collaboration from NITDA will enhance and sustain value chain capacity by engaging new, empowering old stakeholders with fully interactive and actionable e-agriculture platform components,” Olatunji said.
