Story

As long their is reduction in the price of fertilizer i think its a good development. I wonder what will be the work of N power Agric. humm

Another fable from the storyhouse!

engrobidigbo:


Fertilizer is already selling below N5,000 here in Nigeria....

Subsidised fertiliser that is.

sweetgala:


Subsidised fertiliser that is.

Not subsidized....

Direct from Indorama Eleme Fertrilizers.... They sold at N4,500 in June but now selling at N4,850

Handsomecole:
We have vast lands wasting and lying fallow all over the country. It's beyond just promising and forecasting.

You must be Orji Uzor Kalu because majority of the Igbo will not vote for you because you did not do well as a Governor

Pavore9:


You can produce the organic fertilizer you need! From compost, liquids from earthworms, waste water from fishponds etc Waste water from fishponds is the heartbeat of aquaponics, you need no soil but can grow strawberries all year round with it!

You have just indicated that you are not an agronomist.

Just a sooth sayer.

I highlighted how an individual can go organic and you call me a sooth sayer!....you make me laugh and it seems you are new to the Agric section!

If l add rabbit urine, you will brand me something else!

Where is this been practiced, Can you produce it on a commercial scale. And how acceptable will it be to our local farmers

I work in Nairobi, kenya. Of course it can be done in a commercial scale as the organic strawberries is supplied weekly to the upscale Java coffee House in Nairobi.

A farmer who today wants to get the best out of his effort MUST do away with the old methods of doing things as the world has moved on.

Just take vertical sack farming as an example, with a plot of land in Lagos, l can harvest N300k worth of organic high valued veggies monthly.

Here in Kenya, a litre of rabbit urine is selling for about N750, it proves it has value as it serves as pesticide and foliar feed.

People like to copy what is practicable and higher earning.

Its easier said than done. If it had been like you said, why are our farmers still many light years behind

Our farmers are not into it does not mean others outside Nigeria aren't!....knowledge increases output.

Fundamentalist:


Majority of farmers in Africa our rural dwellers

That is the job of the Agric extension officers, they are responsible for linking farmers with knowledge but the ministry of agriculture at the states and federal levels have failed in this. How many farmers in Nigeria have the phone numbers of the Agric extension officer who ought to be covering their localities?

How many rural farmers even know that there is something called an Agric extension officer?

The story of Nigeria

The story of Nigeria

When l was involved with some Agric projects in some states in the southeast, l worked with their respective ministry of agriculture and had a first hand experience with the rot there. Paddy rice that was supplied by the FG to be distributed to local rice farmers to plant was processed by these extension officers and sold in the markets!
