How we need to use agricultural cooperatives to get Nigeria out of this current economic rut

Ayo Akinfe

[1] Every single one of our local government arteas will be obliged to organise their farmers into cooperative units

[2] Farmers will be encouraged to sell their produce, buy seedlings, pesticides and fertilisers, as well as farming equipment through their co-operatives to maximise efficiency and overhead costs

[3] Every local government area must build at least one food storage facility within its domain

[4] An agricultural tax will be paid to the local government to help provide and maintain the necessary services to support farming programmes

[5] Agricultural cooperatives will be encouraged to move into value-added activities and will be provided with loans to facilitate this

[6] A National Bank of Agriculture will be established to offer loans to farming cooperatives at competitive rates

[7] Farmers will be encouraged to venture into organic agriculture because of the high premiums that this commands

[8] Cooperatives will be encouraged to buy their members high-yielding hybrid seedlings to enhance unit-per-head output

[9] Seed companies will be offered tax holidays to come and set up plants and facilities within Nigeria

[10] Processing companies and food manufacturers like Cadbury, Nestle, Mars, Kelloggs, Tate & Lyle, Unilever etc, will be encouraged to establish plants in Nigeria to facilitate vertical integrated production. Our ultimate goal is to export finished, packaged and shelf-ready products to international markets
