“This includes taking care of the soil by admonishing them on the importance of organic to inorganic fertiliser which many farmers are yet to come to terms with.”
Okoli said that with assistance from the government at all levels, they would be going to the hinterland to educate farming communities on their core value chain.
“With the support, we are getting from the government, there is a need for more assistance for us to do more on improving agriculture in the state and by extension, the nation.
“Our core three point value chain teaching to farmers are regenerative agriculture, nutritional sensitive agriculture and market-oriented agriculture practices to boost production,” he said.
