Experts seek large firms inclusion in agriculture space
By Rukayat Moisemhe
Lagos, April 29, 2021 Experts on Thursday called for the inclusion of large firms to the nation’s current smallholder farming system to drive Nigeria’s agricultural sector to its maximum capacity.
The experts made the call at the Institute of Directors (IoD) webinar with the theme: “Outlook of the 2021 Planting Season: Incentives and Opportunities.”
Dr Debo Akande, Executive Adviser on Agriculture to the Governor of Oyo, noted that smallholder farming was unable to sustain the kind of dynamism agriculture currently required.
Akande, also, a senior agricbusiness specialist, said major firms would be able to provide the technology, capital and the know-how to mitigate the challenges of climate change.
