AGRICULTURE

ONE OF HON SIR AZUKA OKWUOSA PARCEL FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The importance of Agriculture in a nation is something that can never be overlook because even civilization began with agriculture and though humanity has changed significantly, agriculture still remains very important.

Agriculture is important not only for the supply of food but also for the provision of raw materials for industries.

Agriculture doesn't end in planting, harvesting and rearing of livestock, it's about production, processing, promotion and distribution of agricultural products

A scroll through the past would reveal that at independent and some decades after that the mainstay of Anambra state economy was agriculture,many families relied on it for livelihood even up until now it's still the major employer of labour in Anambra,over 70% of Anambrains are directly or indirectly live on agricultural related activities

Thanks to the nature that blessed Anambra with resources in terms of agro based activities such as fisheries and farming as well as land cultivation for pasturing and animal husbandry.

One cannot forget in a hurry the likes of renowned Igbarim farm settlement and Omambala zone which was food basket of Anambra but due to decades of negligence by past government are now history.

It saddens that past government did nothing or little in promoting Agriculture in Anambra which would have reduce poverty,raise incomes and improve food security.Reality remains that every Anambrains depend on agriculture for one thing or another.Hon Sir Azuka Okwuosa is coming with goodnews for Anambrains.His administration will place priority on Agriculture which will in turn provide direct employment for farmers who depend on it to sustain themselves and families

Renew the Igbarim farm settlement and Omambala zone

Heavily invest in preservation of agricultural produce

Introduce agro allied industrialization and provision of appropriate rivers, stream and water ways for irrigation to provide all season farming in Anambra

Modernize farming by setting up an agricultural mechanization that will help to improve our agricultural system

Farmers will be adequately fund to enable them produce in large quantities which will help in poverty reduction and raises income.

Zukky for excellence, fairness and sustainable development
