Experts at a forum
on smallholder farmers have advocated for a new economy driven by
agriculture and urged farmers to consider it as an enterprise.
The call was made
at a dialogue session targeted by youth farmers in the agriculture value
chain, organised by the Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) of the Pan
Atlantic University, in partnership with the British American Tobacco
Nigeria Foundation (BATNF).
Agriculture expert,
Innocent Azih, in his presentation titled: "Role of Smallholder Farmers
in the New Economy", stated that agriculture is the pillar of the
policy framework of the Federal Government's economic diversification
drive.
"With the right
policy stimulus, such as research support, robust food security
programme, market access facilitation, inputs delivery, adequate
infrastructure, among others, this objective could be achieved," he
said.
Azih urged the
farmers to seek innovative ways of increasing the domestic production of
the entire commodity grown by them, infuse technology in production,
seek information and update their knowledge.
