INVITATION TO FREELY PARTICIPATE IN A VALIDATION WORKSHOP TO REVIEW THE SUCCESS OF OUR VEGETABLE DEMO PLOTS IN OYO TOWN -Over 10 varieties of tomatoes/4 varieties of cucumber/3 varieties of water melon and much more... From between the month of February to May, 2016, with a goal of enabling our local vegetable farmers and other value chain actors embrace modern best practices in vegetable production, our organization set up 5 demonstration plots in all the four local governments of Oyo town with mouthwatering and unbelievable yields. On these demo plots, it was designed an all participatory exercise and we taught them the best modern practices needed to produce result and also shared with them chemical application protocol/pest management program/soil management among others. Our farmers/ABC actors were all dazed as the yield coincided with the period tomato price skyrocketed in Nigeria. Gladly enough, they made tons of money from the demo plot to a scale of over 1000% increase in income on the same land size compare to using their own local methods and seeds. Come and learn what to and what not to do when cultivating vegetables and also experience an overview of cost-benefit analysis of some vegetables with great opportunities. You can watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NxpOk3ShRE of one of the harvesting exercises and read more on our blog site (www.hybridveggies.com) either by clicking the banner with same title above or visiting the Business Support Service section to experience what is possible even in the mist of tomato scarcity. Brief on the program The program entitled “Toward Sustainable Clusters in Agribusiness through Learning in Entrepreneurship” (2SCALE) aims at improving rural livelihoods and food nutrition security in Africa. It was created by a consortium of partners, led by International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC), and comprising the Base-of-the-Pyramid innovation Centre (BoPInc.) and the International Centre for development-oriented Research in Agriculture (ICRA). The program is financed by government of Netherland. J.B Akin Owen and Sons Enterprises (whom Hybrid Veggies is a subsidiary) provide the business support service for the project in the stated location. NOTE: The project makes provision for a number of registered cluster members who are local vegetable farmers/ABC actors in vegetable value chain in that geographical location, in the area of transport allowance/Feeding. You would not be entitled to any of these provisions but as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility at J.B Akin Owen, youths and others who are interested in going into vegetable business are invited to witness and participate in the workshop for FREE with a view to enrich their knowledge, entrepreneurship and food security in Sub-Sahara Africa. 1 Like

Keep interest coming. If you leave in and around Oyo town, you too could benefit from the validation workshop where we would share our experiences leading to such outstanding results and also take you step by step on what we did. We would also look at the financial analysis of setting up an acre of tomatoes, water melon and cucumber with expected income. This very workshop is free. |

We had a breath taking yet educative section during the validation of our veggies demo plots in Oyo as we went through what to and not to do to become a veggies biz expert. It was indeed a practically informative section. More pics on https://www.flickr.com/photos/142972294@N03/ and www.hybridveggies.com to see our free upcoming events.
