The Solidaridad West Africa (Solidaridad) and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that would enhance the diversification of the Nigerian economy by improving the productivity in the country’s agricultural sector.
Solidaridad said the MoU would enable it to deploy its expertise and experience of more than 50 years toward improving the contribution of agriculture to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Under the MoU, Solidaridad would provide technical support to the FMARD in the development of the oil palm sector in line with its goal of supporting Nigeria’s capacity-building efforts to regain the countrys leading role in the global production of the commodity.
