British American Tobacco Nigeria Foundation, BATNF, has flagged off
the phase two of its BATNF-Ote Community Cassava Enterprise Valuechain
Development Project.
The event was held at the project farm, Ojutaye Village, Ote in Asa
Local Government Area of Kwara State, was highlighted by the
distribution of agricultural farm inputs to some farmers in the
locality.
In his remarks, Managing Director, Kwara State Agricultural
Development Programme (ADP), Dr. Sunday Atanda, thanked BATNF for
providing support to smallholder farmers in Ote.
Atanda disclosed that the project, which the Kwara State Agricultural
Development Project, KSADP, is the implementing partner, was a
collaborative effort in bringing assistance to the 30 selected
smallholder cassava farmers in the community through land preparation,
trainings, inputs distribution and market linkages all of which are
crucial to the sustainability of the project.
He also assured them that if they work hard and produce the expected
tonnage per hectare, with the support of BATNF, they will identify
markets to sell their produce, adding that this would further encourage
the foundation to support other smallholder farmers in other local
government councils.
Project Manager, BATNF, Remi Adewole, on behalf of the Foundation’s
General Manager, Ms Abimbola Okoya, said that the gathering of the
dignitaries, beneficiary farmers and community attests to the premium
value of the project.
He lauded the smallholder farmers for their unwavering commitment in
ensuring that the set goals of the Foundation, such as poverty
alleviation and wealth creation, are met.
