Pavore9: fa fa faaa fao! Do you watch the NTA? The few times i tune into it, its always one or two programmes on Agriculture and culture that is always on show. So what are you talking about? Lettuce, cucumber, carbage and carrots are not our problem! Yes, there are times of the year the prices go up, but that occures everywhere in the world where they have planting all year round. |

The Jonathan administration completely
transformed the Agricultural sector via two
main strategies: policy reforms to eliminate
corruption and strengthening of
Agricultural institutions. Also, the
transformation of the sector bothered on:
ensuring food security for Nigerians,
providing job opportunities especially for
the teeming youth population, reducing
expenditure of foreign exchange on food
imports, generating foreign exchange and
diversifying the economy. And since the
transformation of the Agricultural sector,
Agriculture is now viewed like a business
enterprise and not a developmental
program.
Contrary to the recent comments of the Edo
State Governor – Governor Adams
Oshiomole, that the Jonathan
administration’s Agricultural reform is a
scam, the Goodluck led administration,
broke new grounds and recorded
monumental giant stride achievements in
the Agricultural sector.
A landmark achievement of the Jonathan
led administration is the eventual resolution
of the fertilizer scam that had plagued
farmers and enriched the pockets of the
political elites for over 40 years. With a
mandate from the President to sanitize the
fertilizer distribution process and restore
sanity, this issue was resolved within
100days in office by the Minister of
Agriculture at that time and the now
President of the African Development Bank
– Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina.
It took the introduction of technology to
end this long standing menace and
eliminate middle men that might attempt to
divert the funds or products. The Electronic
Wallet System (e-wallet) was created to
ensure seed and fertilizer delivery to
farmers via their phones and a bio-metric
data base was also created for 4.5million
farmers which will be updated from time to
time.
As the largest producer of cassava in the
world, Jonathan led a mission to make
Nigeria the largest processor of cassava in
the world. This was to be achieved by
substituting 40% of wheat imports with
cassava flour. This culminated in the revamp
of several cassava processing companies in
the country such as: Thai Farms, DATCO etc.
Also, about 150 cassava processing SMEs
who were out of business due to the
refusal of Flour Mills to buy cassava flour,
came right back and all these companies
produced about 132,000metric tones of
processed cassava flour.
President Jonathan on the 30 of
November 2011, ordered the
commercialization of cassava flour. This
resulted in the introduction of the cassava
flour bread by two leading corporate
bakeries in the country – UTC and
Butterfield, and the bread contained 20% of
cassava flour.
Success was also recorded in local
production of rice and reduced importation
of rice to the barest minimum, with local
rice brands such as Ebony Rice, Ashi rice,
Mikap rice etc making their way into the
market.
13 new private sector mills were
established to buy and process local paddy
with a total capacity of 240,000 metric
tonnes. Also, 50 young Nigerians
underwent a 5months training program on
rice production in Kenya and stricter
conditions were meted out to rice
importers all in a bid to encourage local rice
production.
Aside improved production of food and
cash crops, Goodluck Jonathan inaugurated
Agricultural Equipment Hiring Centers. He
equipped the centers with over 15,000
power tillers, and 600,000 tractors and this
has to a large extent enhanced mechanized
farming at highly subsidized rates.
Furthermore on crop farming, Goodluck
Jonathan secured 4million improved Tenera
oil palm nuts from the Nigerian Institute for
Oil Palm Research and distributed them to
70 public and private sector nursery
operators in order to nurture them into
mature seedlings for distribution to farmers
in the long run.
Concerning Cocoa Plantation, his
administration also released 8 new high
yielding, fast maturing cocoa hybrids to
revolutionize the Cocoa Sector. These
hybrids matured within 2 years and yielded
in multiples of 5.A total of 3.6million hybrid
pods (114 million cocoa seeds) were
distributed to farmers free of charge,
across cocoa growing states to establish
new plantations and phased rehabilitation
of old plots.
Considering the good work of Goodluck
Jonathan in the Agricultural sector,
Computer guru – Bill Gates, agreed to serve
on the Eminent Persons Group instituted to
advise Mr. President on Agriculture to
diversify the economy and raise
investments to grow the sector. This good
work also caught the attention of the
international community, with a number of
them drumming support for the
transformation agenda of GEJ in the
Agricultural sector with financial aids. The
World Bank released about $500 million,
China EXIM donated in the region of $1.5
billion, Ford Foundation also supported
with $750,000.
In a nutshell, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan did a
remarkable job in the revitalization of the
Agricultural sector in Nigeria during his
tenure and the election of his Minister of
Agriculture – Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, as the
new President of the African Development
Bank is an attestation of the giant
accomplishments of the duo of Jonathan
and Adesina in Nigeria’s Agricultural Terrain
and its impact on the entire Country’s
Economic Landscape. |

It seems Nigeria is not a basket case afterall. Talking about a mobile money somewhere in East Africa, Nigeria is using an e-wallet to help get fertilizers to farmers in a quicker way and in a way that corruption is eliminated. “We created an electronic platform (e- wallet) on which we registered farmers and agro-dealers who own shops that sell farm inputs all over the country. To date we have registered 4.2 million farmers and about 900 agro-dealers. We developed the first ever registered data base of farmers in Nigeria, which we will upgrade every year. For the first time ever, we can now base policy decisions on data, not guess work.” “Registered farmers are sent electronic vouchers directly from the federal government to their cell phones. This voucher or e-wallet informs the farmer that he or she is entitled to buy two 50kg bags of fertilizer at 50% of the purchase price. The voucher essentially serves as cash on their phones and this cash covers 50% of the market price of the fertilizer. The farmer therefore pays only 50% of the cost of the fertilizer to the fertilizer retailer. Fertilizer and seed retailers no longer supply seeds and fertilizers directly to government. They now sell directly to farmers. Government helps the farmer to buy inputs by providing direct support through their cellphones (e-wallet).” Dr Adesina maintained that plans are underway to use the GES scheme to help farmers access tractor hiring services, adding that instead of government procuring tractors for farmers, government will encourage the private sector to establish tractor hiring centers so that farmers can hire tractors from these centers with government subsidizing the cost of hiring tractors through the e-wallet using farmers’ cellphones. That brings the questions: “Why cellphones for farmers?” “Will the fertilizers and seeds be attached to the cellphones?” “Will tractors be attached to the cellphones”? Dr Adesina stated that going by previous experience and the achievement recorded in the area of fertilizer and tractor sectors, ”Yes!” It is actually the cell phone that has provided us with the tool to directly access each farmer thereby saving them from corrupt middlemen who make their fortune from exploiting the poor.” He added that “from the data we collected based on farmers’ use of cellphones to access fertilizers and seeds last year, we found that the total number of transactions done through phones with respect to the GES scheme was 4.9 million. Of these, 1.2 million were in English, 620,000 were in Pidgin, 2.2 million were in Hausa, and 854,000 were in Yoruba and 344 were in Igbo, arguing that the rural farmers are already using the cellphones to transact their businesses. He stressed that there would be no direct procurement of phones by the federal government, neither will government give anyone contracts to import phones from China or anywhere else, nor there would be N 60billion anywhere to be used to buy cellphones, but maintained that the Ministry of Agriculture and that of Communications Technology would partner together to implement this policy. “We intend to use the GES scheme to distribute these phones. To be entitled to a phone, farmers must be registered on the e-wallet platform. Paper vouchers will be issued to farmers who do not have phones. The government will provide a subsidy to the farmer through the voucher to buy the phone. The farmer takes the voucher to the local mobile phone operator and pays the balance which is the difference between the value of the voucher and the cost of the phone. Once a farmer buys a phone and a SIM card, his new phone number will be updated on the e-wallet database and he will be able to receive his e-wallet voucher which will entitle him to purchase fertilizer and seeds at subsidized rates. Phones will be sold directly to farmers by local mobile phone service providers. He added that cellphones in the agric sector is not new as several hundreds of thousand farmers are already being reached through their cellphones, benefiting from the robust government programes. “We are already using cellphones to reach 232,000 farmers for rice production in the dry season, each getting 3 bags, across 10 states of the north east, northwest and north central regions. To reach farmers affected by the flood, we are also using cellphones through the growth enhancement support. We are reaching 98,000 farmers affected by floods across the country with 2 bags of fertilizers per farmer, plus one bag of agrolyser micro-nutrient to replace some of the soil micro-nutrients that have been washed away by the flood. Such is the power of cellphones revolutionizing agriculture today in Nigeria,” he stated. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/01/cellphones-were-already-using-it-to-reach-232000-farmers-agric-minister/ |

even states are taking the bull by the horn and getting things done in the Fed Rep of Nigeria. It is like the Rift Valley region and anyother region going into partnership to provide food, jobs and altimately, grow Kenya's GDP. The recent signing of MoU between the governments of Kebbi and Lagos States on the rice value chain where the former being the largest producer of rice in the country with comparative advantage will produce paddy rice for the latter being the biggest consumer of rice in the country is indeed a welcome development. According to media reports, during the signing of the MoU, Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode expressed optimism that the pact would go a long way in ensuring food security, creating job opportunities for the people, boost the economy of the two states and increase Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). On his part, the Kebbi State Governor, Mr. Atiku Bagudu described the MoU as an innovative partnership that would lead the way positively for Nigeria as years of policy distortion had demoralized local producers of agricultural products from competing with their foreign counterparts which had in turn affected the economy of Nigeria negatively. Under the MoU which is the first of its kind amongst States of the Federation, the Lagos State is to establish a modern rice-processing Mill in Kebbi State which being the highest rice-growing area in Nigeria will produce rice paddy to feed the mill. Other high-rice growing areas in the country include, Abakaliki Basin, Ebonyi State, Adani, Enugu State, Bida Basin, Niger State and the Lake Chad Basin, in Borno State amongst others. It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had last year officially flagged off dry season rice and wheat farming in Kebbi state and also launched the N20billion Anchor Borrowers’ Programme (ABP) which the Central Bank of Nigeria has set aside for rice farmers across the country. At the ceremony, the President enthused, “The importance of agriculture to the economy cannot be over emphasized because economic diversification is the only way to prosperity. Go back to the land and develop agriculture because the era of depending on oil is over,” he said. Also speaking at the event, Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele said that the Anchor Borrowers’ programme was designed to create economic linkages between farmers and processors, not only to ensure the output of rice and wheat, but also to bridge the gap between production and consumption. “Over 200,000 rice and wheat farmers will benefit from the scheme ranging from N150,000 to N250,000 to assist in procuring necessary agricultural inputs. “The programme is an initiative of the CBN aimed at creating an ecosystem to link out-growers (smallholder farmers) to local processors”, he said. It is regrettable that agriculture which used to be the country’s economic mainstay has been allowed to degenerate. As statistics indicate, it is equally lamentable that in 2010 alone, Nigeria spent 635 Billion Naira on import of wheat, 356 billion naira on importation of rice, an average of N1 Billion Naira per day on rice alone, N217 Billion naira on Sugar and with all the marine resources, rivers, lakes and creeks in the country, Nigeria spends a whopping sum of 97 Billion Naira on fish imports. http://agricnation.com/home/applauding-kebbi-lagos-agric-partnership/ |

if as at 2015 before the free fall of the Naira, agriculture contributes over 240bn dollar to Nigeria's GDP. Then today after the fall of the Naira by a third of its worth, it means agric now contributes 61bn dollar to Nigeria's economy. That's the entire worth of the Kenyan economy! And some people still want to portray Nigeria as a basket case. Nigeria’s agric sector contributes over $245bn to GDP Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, has said the size of agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has risen from N14 trillion in 2011 to N46.6 trillion (about $245bn) as of 2014. Receiving an award as the “Newswatch Man of the Year 2014 in Project Management and Revenue Generation” on Thursday in Abuja, Adesina said that the figure surpassed the total agricultural GDP for the 8-year period of 2000—2008 which was N42 trillion. Quoting from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reports, he said: “The agriculture GDP of Nigeria rose from N 14 trillion in 2011, to N 15.8 trillion by 2012 and 16.8 trillion by 2013. “The total agricultural GDP in just three years of 2011-2014 was N 46.6 trillion, surpassing the total cumulative GDP for the 8-year period of 2000-2008 of N 42 trillion.” As part of achievements in the Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA) in the last three years, the minister said over 3.5 million farm jobs have been created across the agricultural value chains, spurring a revival of rural economies, especially for millions of youths and reducing rural-to-urban migration. “The agriculture sector has brought macroeconomic and fiscal stability for the country, despite the depreciation of the Naira and steep decline in the price of crude oil, food prices have been largely stable,” he said. Adesina also said the production of maize has recorded tremendous success as 14 million metric tonnes of maize were produced in the last three years of the implementation of ATA. http://tungamediang.com/nigerias-agric-sector-contributes-over-245bn-to-gdp/ |

craziebone:Lemme demystify the above statement. Agriculture now contributes about 22% of Nigeria's gdp($60bn) and 30%of Kenya's gdp ($20bn). Nigeria's output is by no doubt much larger. But Nigeria has 39% of its total area as arable while for Kenya it's just 7%. So we have a $0.16bn/Sq km output for Nigeria and a $0.5bn/Sq km productivity for Kenya. This implies that for the same land size, agriculture in Kenya is close to 5 times more productive than in Nigeria while in total output, Nigeria is 3 times more productive 2 Likes |

this is for those who believe Nigeria's economy is about oil, and are quick to point to oil as our saving grace in order to sooth their pain that we are actually the Giant of Africa and i say that without appology. http://punchng.com/non-oil-sector-growth-looks-positive-amid-q2-decline/ Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product has contracted by 2.1 per cent in the second quarter of 2016, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics. However, seven activities in the non-oil sector recorded positive growth. The activities that drove growth in the non-oil sector included: agriculture; Information and Communication; water supply; arts, entertainment and recreation; professional, scientific, education and technical services.. Although growth in the sector declined by 0.38 in real terms in Q2 2016, the sector contributed 91.74 per cent to the nation’s GDP, higher from shares recorded in Q1 which was 89.71 per cent and Q2 2015 which was 90.20 per cent, according to the NBS data. An earlier data compiled by the Bloomberg had put growth in the sector at -0.36 per cent in Q1 2016. A 2.1 per cent GDP contraction beat analysts’ forecast by 0.5 per cent. The median of 17 economist estimates compiled by Bloomberg was for 1.6 per cent contraction. Bloomberg quoted an analyst at the London-based Capital Economics Limited, John Ashbourne, as saying that there was poor performance across almost the entire economy, adding, “Every engine has blown out.” But there have been a lot of efforts on the part of the government to diversify the economy by leveraging agriculture and other activities. In line with this vision, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, has been carrying out sweeping reforms meant to enhance crop production across key food chains. He stated during the launch of his most recent reform-the Agriculture Promotion Policy- that it was a “refreshed strategy” to tackle foreign exchange scarcity, end food importation and boost local food production. According to him, the programme has placed priority on improving productivity of a number of crops and activities such as rice, wheat, maize, fish (aquaculture), dairy milk, soya beans, poultry, horticulture (fruits and vegetables), and sugar. He said, “Nigeria believes that the gap can be closed by partnering private investors across farmer groups and companies to develop end-to-end value chain solutions. These chains will receive facilitated government support as they make deep commitments to engaging a new generation of farmers, improving supply of specialised fertilizers and protection chemicals, as well as wider scale use of high-yielding seeds.” The agriculture programme is also receiving support at the state levels where states like Taraba, Lagos, Ebonyi and so many others have embarked on aggressive programmes targeted at enhancing productivity in crops and activities where each state has comparative advantage. While Taraba and Ebonyi have been consolidating on local rice production advantage, Lagos State has taken advantage of its natural environment to develop aquaculture and other key minerals found in abundance in the state. The Federal Government is targeting tax revenue from activities in the non- oil sector to finance the 2016 budget amidst declining oil revenue. |

If we were to make the most of our Agric potential and every other country does the same, what do you think will be the resultant effect of agric produce in the intl market? Saudi Arabia can export more crude than they are currently exporting but they are not doing so. Why is that? It is because if they do, there will be a glot in the market and that would mean cheaper crude oil which won't work in the favour of producers. If Kenya is making more of their agric potential, then it is because its the biggest thing they could lay their hands on, that's not the case with Nigeria!

If only Nigeria achieved Kenya's productivity level, agricultural output would be at 300bn, more than the current total gdp! Yet Kenya is just a meer developing nation, what of the netherlands' or Taiwan's productivity level? The potential we are sitting on is such that priding oneself of such meager achievements is almost a joke. And agriculture isn't the biggest thing Kenya could lay its hands on, tourism is to them what oil is to Nigeria, a cash cow. And trust me, that sector is quite advanced for a developing nation. The transportation sector such as tour travels and Airlines (Kenya airways), accommodation sector, communication sector, retail and other tour associated sectors are quite developed. 2 Likes 1 Share |
