Am just seeing it.

Saw that way back 2009 and it is painful.

lf our farmers can up their game and invest in acquiring relevant knowledge (not just one day seminars but go and spend time to practically understudy in a farm just as l am planning to make out a month to go and understudy aquaponics, where l will learn how within a greenhouse measuring 24ft by 90ft rear over 10,000 catfish and growing strawberries without the use of soil but using PVC pipes and the waste water from the fish pond, the waste water is purified as it goes through the strawberry planted in the PVC pipes and goes back to the pond as clean water full of oxygen, so nothing is wasted and producing about 1000kg of Strawberry monthly. The system can used to grow so many vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower which are very expensive in Nigeria as they are also imported from South Africa).

With the appropriate knowledge and best practices applied also utilizing the power of numbers by forming co-operatives with farmers of like-minds and quality, l strongly believe big boys like Shoprite will look our way.

@ pavore you hit the point. when you do something differently and succed, people will dance to your tune. it comes naturally. instead of pionting accusing fingers on shoprite or any other big mall, let us think outside the box on the best way to stay competitive and innovative and see the music change. i have read little on acquaponic and it success story on farmers. please is there any farm it is being praticed in nigeria or where can one learn it. iam just 2months in pratical farming and would not mind infusing new ideas to make a change. please reply

@cava, though there maybe but l do not know of any aquaponics farm in nigeria, l live in nairobi & the aquaponic farm l intend understudying is run by some Catholic Sisters here in kenya. Kenya exports carrot to the UK after meeting UK's standards.

@pavore where do you intend to go for the training and when and also hope it affordable. broccoli, beets, spinach , strawberries and alot of green veggies can mostly found at shoprites and shops on victoria island.years back when i had some health issues and was recommended those veggies, i had to pay through my nose both in transport fare and in product price just to have them.thank God iam ok now. i wonder why we cannot plant them. please pavore i am over intrested to learn innovation

@cava, with aquaponics you can grow all these "foreign veggies" in Nigeria even those purple and wine coloured grapes. Though l will be understudying the Sisters but l will try and look out for centres where one can study it.

@ pavore ok thanks what will to cost me from transportion, feeding, hotel accomodation,tutorial fee for the one month.thanks are you serious both wine coloured grapes. infact you've made my day.

@cava, the details will be subject to when one gets where he/she will do the training. lt is 100% organic farming, as one formulates the fish feed by himself, the waste water is high in ammonia & only rabbit urine is used as pesticide in the farm.

@i tot you said there are Rev.sisters farm you would visit to learn or are they not training. so i need to have both fish and rabbit farm to start with.

@cava, lt is the sisters farm but it is not open to public training, l will have access because am "an inside person". Aqua means water, so you MUST have a fishpond inside the greenhouse but you can always get urine from rabbit farmers around.

2015 may well be the year for Agriculture in Nigeria
