Food Security: FG, AFD, Semmaris On Study Tour Of Lagos Market Systems by Dapagun: 9:05am On Jul 24, 2023
The Federal Government of Nigeria, in collaboration with Agence Française De Development (AFD) and SEMMARIS (the Technical Partner), has embarked on a study tour of markets in Lagos State towards understanding the market systems in order to support the government of Nigeria with a one-year technical assistance programme for the establishment of National Agri-Food Market Development Strategy.

The Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture, Mrs. Olatokunbo Emokpae, while welcoming the team to Lagos, explained that the technical assistance will define the strategic orientations of the Nigerian policy on the development of wholesale markets for fresh produce in urban areas to create a methodology for the modernization of wholesale trade to supply major cities and peri-urban areas while structuring the Nigerian agri-food value chain.

According to her, "The visit, which was in line with the tripartite agreement earlier signed between the Federal Government, AFD and SEMMARIS, also involves a one-year study which will run from Q1 2023 to Q1 2024, with special focus on the three largest urban consumption areas. It will also look at the whole value chains market ecosystem from rural to urban corridors in Nigeria, including Lagos-Ibadan, Kano-Kaduna, and Onitsha-Port-Harcourt.

The visit to the State, according to the team, was in furtherance of the bid to study the food value chains in Lagos thereby helping to reduce food spoilage, promote food storage and preservation, guarantee food security, and greater returns for farmers and investors in the agro-allied sector.

The members of the visiting team include Timothee Witkowski, International Project Manager, Rungis Marche International; Stephen P Allen, Food Sector Strategist, Jofreco International Limited and Christian Idahota, Head of Field Operations, Agramondi.

Recall that the Lagos State Government, as part of its food systems transformation agenda, has commenced the construction of a Central Food Security Systems and Logistics Hub on a 120 Ha parcel of land at Ketu-Ereyun, Epe area of the State. The project was borne out of the need to address food spoilage, storage and processing challenges as well as the commitment to ensuring food traceability.

It is great to see the collaboration between the Nigerian government, the French Agency for Development (AFD), and Semmaris in conducting a study tour of Lagos market systems. Food security is a critical issue, especially in urban areas, and this initiative reflects a proactive approach towards understanding and improving the food supply chain.

Lagos, being one of Africa's largest cities, has a significant population that heavily relies on the market system for their daily food needs. By studying and analyzing the market systems, government officials and experts can identify potential challenges, gaps, and opportunities to enhance food security in the area.

The involvement of the AFD and Semmaris, both with extensive knowledge and experience in sustainable development and market management, adds great value to the study tour. Their expertise can provide valuable insights into developing efficient market infrastructure, improving logistics, and implementing innovative solutions to ensure a steady and affordable food supply for Lagosians.

This study tour not only highlights the commitment of the Nigerian government to address food security issues but also showcases the importance of international cooperation in finding sustainable solutions. Sharing knowledge and best practices with experienced organizations like the AFD and Semmaris can greatly contribute to the development and implementation of effective food security strategies in Nigeria.

It is crucial that the findings and recommendations from this study tour are put into action. The government should leverage the insights gained and work towards implementing policies and initiatives that will strengthen the market systems, promote local agriculture, enhance food preservation techniques, and ensure fair distribution of food products.

Overall, the collaboration between the Nigerian government, AFD, and Semmaris on this study tour is a step in the right direction towards achieving food security in Lagos. It demonstrates the commitment of all parties involved in addressing this critical issue and offers hope for a sustainable and resilient food supply chain in the city.

This study tour between the Federal Government (FG), Agence Française de Dévelopment (AFD), and Semmaris on Lagos market systems is a commendable initiative. Food security is a critical issue in Nigeria, and understanding the dynamics of market systems is essential for addressing this challenge effectively.

By studying the Lagos market systems, the FG can gain valuable insights into the supply chains, pricing mechanisms, and distribution networks that impact food availability and affordability. This knowledge can inform policymaking and help implement targeted interventions to enhance food security in the country.

Collaborating with the AFD and Semmaris, renowned organizations with expertise in development cooperation and market management, further strengthens the potential impact of this study tour. Their support can contribute resources, technical assistance, and best practices from other successful market systems globally, enhancing the overall outcomes of the study.

Ultimately, it is crucial that the findings of this study tour translate into tangible action and policy changes to improve food security in Nigeria. Investing in market infrastructure, implementing supportive policies, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices are just a few potential areas where this collaboration can make a significant difference.

Overall, this study tour holds great promise in advancing the understanding of Lagos market systems and laying the foundation for effective strategies to ensure food security in Nigeria.

What exactly will France do for the price of garri in our market. Why can't these useless black monkeys cut their ties with demonic westerners. That French guy there is probably looking for areas he can see opportunities to exploit. Uselss black monkeys, leave the westerners alone, run your own internal affairs with ur God given brains you idiots.

I hope and pray that the Nigerian people on board of this tour will pay attention to discussions and intentions of the French members of the tour.

the question to ask oneself is are these people competent to carry out a study of foodstuffs supply and sales points in Lagos.

have they been involved in similar exercises in their country before now.

are we all on a free rolling jamboree money spending exercise for Lagos.

if the answers to the above are positive then a good study can be carried out.
