#Edoagripreneur

Who would have thought that the local rice will be the cornerstone of rice consumption?

The closure of the borders is biting hard on Nigerians,but the positive is that local production of rice will be encouraged.

The Edo Agripreneur programme has taken the bold step to cushion the effects of the ban of foreign rice with harvesting of local rice across it's farms in the state.

Edo Agripreneur programme is alleviating people in the hinterlands from poverty,being a rice farmer at this time is a fortune.

As Agriculture itself is a panacea to poverty alleviation and the engagement of people into a venture that is rewarding in subsistence and commercial farming.

The Government of Edo state through the office of the Special Adviser on Agriculture and forestry,Prince Joe Okojie is leading an agriculture revolution that will make the state self sufficient in food production.

Farmers of local rice in Edo state are smiling to the bank thanks to the soft loans,arable lands and the facilities made available for them.

Agriculture reforms is one of the positives of the Governor Obaseki's administration.
