#PINDPhotooftheDay:

Farmers in Mba, Mkpuka and Ozu Abam in Abia State being trained on improved Agronomic practices in cassava production on May 18, 2017.

In 2015, the Foundation for Partnerships Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND) started a demonstration plot intervention in Ubuluku Uku farm cluster in Aniocha LGA of Delta State for Cassava farmers and having seen how well it turned out, scaled up the intervention to farmers in Abia state.

PIND is working through input companies to improve the knowledge, attitudes and practices of cassava farmers. This includes the use of improved cassava stem varieties, fertilizers, herbicides and tractor for land preparation to boost productivity and increase income of household farmers.
