FEED THE FUTURE NIGERIA AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION AND ADVISORY SERVICES ACTIVITY (AEAS)
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
OUR AIM:
To improve service delivery that will rapidly, effectively, and sustainably provide access to agro-inputs and disseminate extension messaging to at least two million smallholder farmers in the Niger Delta.
OUR APPROACH:

Using Lean production principles and tools to develop a deep understanding of the existing production systems to identify the most promising opportunities (also known as most impactful practices- MIPs).
SUCCESS STORIES

‘’Training these farmers, they always complain. Some of them say,” We want to expand, how do you come to our aid’’? So, we package them together in groups in clusters. And, as I am talking to you right now, they are being taken to the CBN under the Anchor Borrowers programs so that it can help them to maintain their plantation. It can help them to expand their farms. They are following their CBN processes; they have been introduced, they have been trained by DDI (a PIND-trained BSP), interviewed, asked to package their papers. And they have done all those things. They are now feeling the impact of PIND.’’

“The findings from the study revealed some systemic constraints in the cocoa value chain. These include low productivity of farms arising from poor agricultural practices; predominance of older and ageing trees with low yields; absence of high-yielding seed varieties; inferior quality beans arising from poor post-harvest practices – leading to discount prices of Nigerian cocoa in the global market; and a lack of coordination among actors and functions within the value chain.”
This is great but let make it sustainable by training, establishing farm centers with residence, processing and value chain addition in Niger Delta.
Let participate in international Agricultural conferences and Exhibition in Europe, Canada, Australia, Belgium, France, Netherlands, USA, UK, Israel and Germany to woo in investors that will develop smallholders.
We need investors in oilpalm, cotton Fishery, Cassava, broilers, layers, Dairy, maize, tomatoes, plantains, banana, orange, magoes, cashews, rubber, teak, coconut, avocado, rice, cocoa and pastures.
