A joint conference involving ActionAid Nigeria (AAN), Small-Scale Women Farmers Organisation in Nigeria (SWOFON), and various agricultural sector stakeholders
PT: Seeds are difficult to get for Nigerian farmers, how do you get yours?
Mrs Nnanna: I get my seeds from the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and Agricultural Development Programme (ADP).
PT: How did you select the crops you are cultivating?
Mrs Nnanna: I’m into poultry farming too, so I cultivate the maize and use part of it as feed for my poultry. I do the corn in a large quantity for feed formulation. In the north, maize serves for different meals, so there is market for it. I cultivate beans because it has nutrients, which is why a lot of people buy it.
