Tackling Food Security In Nigeria; An Economic Issue by Suntwist: 3:46pm On Jun 09, 2021
Food security in Nigeria is fast becoming an alarming issue for the economy. In Nigeria, farming is largely based on natural conditions which infer that crops have their ideal weather and seasons. A new study by the West African Network for Peace-building Nigeria (WANEP) NGO has shown Nigeria’s economic productivity could decrease by up to 11% by 2020 and up to 30% by 2050 as a result of climate change.

Although agriculture is a fast rising sector of the economy; the rapidly increasing food price has led to scarcity of some food produce in the market. Also, the rate of demand doesn’t match up with the rate of supply. The ever increasing demand of farm produce calls not just for a need for expansion but an innovative expansion. Nigeria is to seek alternative farming system that will not only guarantee high yield, but also low cost per hectre.

Greenhouses typically yield far more than open field farming. A small sized greenhouse sitting on one eight of a plot of land can have a yield commensurate with an open field farm of one acre of farmland. Greenhouses are very profitable with higher returns on investment than open field farming due to high yield crop production. Greenhouse systems also ensure monitored nutrients supply through ‘fertigation’. This ensures production of nutrients laden healthy food crops from farm to table thereby efficiently supporting the nutritional needs of consumers.

Here at Suntwist, we have taken the initiative to explore modern methods of cultivation via large scale greenhouse farming in order to ensure maximum yield and healthy farm produce. Suntwist Nigeria Limited is set to achieve large scale greenhouse farming through the ‘Go Green’ project to combat low productivity by providing year-round availability of nutrient-controlled food crops in a bid to reach her agri-business potential and food security goals.

Bearing in mind our reputation of good ROI generation for our sponsors over the years; partner with us as we fight back using large scale greenhouse revolution across different regions of the 39 million hectares of Nigeria’s arable land mass to ensure;

High yield crop production
Massive job creation
High returns generation
Climate-independent crop production
Nutrient-controlled crop production
