Vegetable farmers |
Vegetable
farmers in Anioma Greenland, Abakpa Nike, Enugu, have requested for
government’s assistance with the acquisition of fertilizers,
agrochemicals like insecticides, pesticides and mini water pumping
machines at subsidized rates.
The
farmers when interviewed in their various farms said they are
interested in growing more vegetables round the year, if their demands
are met. Their spokesperson, Mrs. Agu said they have to plant with the
little resources they have; adding that the proceeds from the sales are
not usually enough to cater for their needs as well as their children’s.
“It
is their desire to farm on more than two hectares of land as we are
currently working on only one hectare per member,” she said.
She
also stressed that if the government will not help them after the
meeting, they will not be proud to call themselves full citizens
because, according to her, they are being neglected and marginalised.
She also stated that the state government knows how greatly they
contribute to the food sufficiency drive but has just neglecting their
efforts because they have no mouthpiece.
One
of the farmers, Mrs. Maria Nworie said they need improved species of
vegetables of all kinds and that if the government can provide them with
their needs, they would also flood the market with vegetables, all year
long.
