Herdsmen, bandits and kidnappers should be tackled first, else insecurity will ruin this season and plunge Nigeria into hunger crisis.

Farmers will make hell of money dis period. If I was in my villa I would have started farming already.
All na wash.
Is it not the same farm produce that we're struggling to sell here?
You'll spend over 100k on your farm, at the end of the day you'll only get 80k.

I quit biko

Is it the headline that's pointless or is it Boss Mustapha that is confused? Farmers have been farming and they do not need anyone to tell them not to farm cos of coro.
It's important that it's made official.
Some farmers have lands at only motorable distances from their abode.
Making it official gives them the freedom to move to and from their farms.
Same with their workers and also directly or indirectly gives those involved in sale or distribution of agricultural feeds or equipment the security to open shops.
This is not directed at the farmer with his plot close to his house or in the same village,though they too should benefit from the ease of movement.
In some parts of the North with their large landmass,some farmers with farms even in the same local maybe equivalent to travelling from Oshodi to Ajah for eg.

I've been waiting for someone to ask this question among all the commenters.
Farming in Nigeria is hard, manual labour.
I was born into farming, I still farm, but I'm already looking older than my age.

You can hardly see someone that solely depends on farming with a good house.
He'll spends over 100k on his farm, but at the end of the day, he'll only get 80k back. In my house every year, we farm upto 5 hectares and not a single support from the government.

We use huge amount to employ labourers to help us. At the end of the day, we don't even make our money back. But mum will say it's better than doing nothing.

In the market, buyers will act as if buying from you is a favour unto you. Wtf?

I quit abeg.

Oga!! The pronouncement we are waiting to hear is what government has been doing to ameliorate the suffering of the masses.

Lockdowns are only effective in urban areas and the last I checked not much farming goes on in this places.

Lockdowns are not effective in rural areas and I repeat that farmers don't need anyone to tell them whether to go to farm or not. I run a poultry which is miles from my house and I have been going unhindered, Produce markets never closed and produce has been entering the cities unhindered.

I hate when govt are quick to make policies or statements with no visible impact or downright unnecessary. Making statements for the sake of it.

We need concise policy statements. You heard the other day Kano saying they had no test kits and the NCDC nor the PTF hasn't made any official statement to that effect.

if you know the cost of production and the stress farmers go through without any support from government you'll appreciate that price.

When you join the workforce in farm and production supply exceeds demand
Re: PTF: Farmers Should Prepare To Return To Their Farms by FarmTech(m): 8:26am On Apr 25, 2020
The greatest challenge during this lockdown is access to farm input. If not for the reserve I have I don't know what would have happened.

Depends on your area of specialization.... Vegetable yields more money but with excess labour


Your comment is discouraging to the upcoming farmers
Re: PTF: Farmers Should Prepare To Return To Their Farms by Glink2018(m): 8:40am On Apr 25, 2020
All these our comedian's government officials they will not seize to waoh....
Honestly, Nigeria doesn't have plan for itself talkless of any family in the country.

All our heroes who contributed to this decadence will not rest in peace .
Re: PTF: Farmers Should Prepare To Return To Their Farms by 24kmagic: 8:47am On Apr 25, 2020

Rice, beans, maize, guinea corn, groundnut, melon, ginger (once) and sesame.

We used to farm yam too, but we stopped completely cos the rate at which they steal yam on the farm ehn hmm.

And I can tell you that in the last eight years, not even a single bag of fertilizer has been given to us.

They share it among the top government officials who then sell it to the farmers.

Until there's a total revolution in the Agric sector, I quit.

With all these military men and police causing problem on our roads ?


Sending Poultry products across the has become a big problem since the commencement of this lockdown, leading to high mortality of birds and destruction of products as a result of security operatives ignorance and bad attitude.
