Asaba, Jan. 5, 2021 A notable farmer in Delta and former state Commissioner for Lands and Survey, Mr Raymos Guana has called for value addition to agricultural products in the country.
Guana told newsmen on Tuesday, in Asaba, that “value addition is the only way to go in deriving maximum benefits from the agricultural sector.
“We sell too many of our agricultural products without adding value and these come back as processed goods like cocoa,” he said.
According to him, almost all of our agricultural products were qualified for value addition, and the Federal Government would do well by identifying states and local government councils with capacity for various agricultural products, to provide them with required support to operate optimally.
