U.S. Invests N8.6 Billion To Boost Small-scale Farming In Nigeria by Adieza(m): 12:53am On Oct 25, 2018 |
United States Africa Development Foundation has invested over N8.64 billion ($24 million) to boost capacity of farmers across the country. Speaking at an Agriculture mini-fair, organised by the foundation in collaboration with Diamond Development Initiative, stakeholders in the sector, including the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Syminton, Executive Director, Diamond Development Initiative, Adamu Garba, President, United States Africa Development Foundation, C. D. Glin, Chairman of the Foundation, Jack Leslie, said Nigeria must improve agricultural sector to meet food security in the face of growing population. Syminton noted that the country must take advantage of youths and women population to grow the agricultural sector.He stressed the need for the sector to not only export raw materials but ensure that the products are processed; adding that by so doing the sector would transform more lives. Leslie pledged that the foundation would continue to drive the development of the sector in Africa, particularly in Nigeria, through partnership, participation and promotion of private sector led initiative.He said: “I know we are seen as helping you to do the things that you do in the communities but your success is our success; your success is very important to the U.S.” Glin said the foundation is committed to the development of the sector in Africa, adding that agriculture is key to economic development of the continent. “Everything we do here is led by Nigerians. We have commitment to Agriculture. We strongly believe that one of the key drivers of Africa’s success and Nigeria’s success will be in the agricultural sector.”He also noted that the efforts to diversify the nation’s economy would remain elusive if the agriculture sector is not prioritised. Garba said: “USAID has invested over $24 million so far in the project.”Garba said continuous efforts toward improving agriculture as well as necessary actions and policies would increase productivity and boost food security. According to him, the purpose of the exhibition was to showcase agricultural across Nigeria, which were funded by the U.S. foundation through the local partner, which provides mentorship, management as well as monitoring of the project. “Most of these people are engaged in production but the assistance we provide does not stop at production alone. We take it a step further, we provide them with machines that they can use to do some processing and as value to the products and get more income,” Garba said. He said the farmer, who are divided into cooperative societies would be able to access more opportunities, particularly more markets for their products through the exhibition.The fair showcased leather works from Zaria, Garri from Ikara in Kaduna state; improved local rice from Kebbi State; refined palm oil and fish feeds among others. https://www.agricinfo.com/2018/10/us-invests-n86-billion-to-boost-small.html

Nigeria is working. Atiku is Atikulooting the Atikulooted brains. If your only hope of making it in life is to get govt job or a white collar job just because of your certificate, your time and effort in school was a huge waste. Stay online to rant Atikulooted everyday while the so-called "illiterates" smile to the bank daily by virtue of taking advantage of the agricultural revolution. PMB till 2023. If CHAF don't like it, let them port to Togo or Israel. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

If you ask me, foreign countries should stop "aiding" African countries. The monies will find their way to private pockets. But hey! they know but wants to keep African countries as their servant, so they still give. 5 Likes |

Many nations are trying for Nigeria/Africa sha. And even though our leaders keep draining these monies, yet they keep helping. Nice of them though But if countries and continents developed by “aids” and “loans”, Africa would have been a first world continent by now. We need to help our selves, first by electing responsible people into leadership positions. Next, by holding them accountable. Also, by being responsible citizens too! Aids, aids, more aids yet we are 50 centuries backwards! 8 Likes |

These countries should stop giving the federal govt all these monies meant for citizens, they have the technology to share it, all they need is just our account numbers and details. If only the fed govt has the database of those small scale farmers, it will be easier to disburse the money electronically .. 1 Like |

We only read about it. The local farmers don't have access. Nobody can help you but yourself. Atiku and Obi will change the situation. APC supporters looking for the slightest publication to praise buhari. When they said our economy was doing well under Jonathan, they said it was on paper that the masses were suffering. No need to remove subsidy. Today they are celebrating news publication and praising buhari, while fuel is now 145 against 96 and rice is 14k against 7. Hypocrites. 1 Like |
