Niger farmers get fertiliser from ‘One Acre Fund’

As farmers begin preparation for the wet season farming, One Acre Fund Nigeria has empowered 60, 000 smallholder farmers in Niger State with 12,000 metric tonnes of fertilizer.

The Fund also distributed improved seeds including rice, maize, okro and herbicides to smallholder farmers in the state to boost their productivity.

The Country Director of One Acre Fund Nigeria, Adetola Adegbite, while speaking at the flag off, highlighted the positive impact the support would have on farming activities.

According to him, the 2024 Input Delivery Season promised to be more transformative, with plans to distribute 6 million trees to 220,000 farmers in Niger, Nasarawa and Kwara states.

“Our efforts are always geared towards ensuring a last-mile access to quality inputs, to empower farmers with knowledge and resources, and to cultivate thriving agricultural communities that drive economic growth and food security,” he said.

Speaking, the Field Operations lead of the organization, Mr. Emmanuel Bamboye explained that last-mile delivery holds immense importance in the context of agricultural development, particularly for smallholder farmers who often face significant challenges in accessing quality inputs and resources.

“For farmers like those we serve here in Niger State and beyond, last-mile delivery means more than just convenience; it is a lifeline that empowers them to maximize their productivity and improve their livelihoods. By bringing inputs directly to farmers’ doorsteps and fields, we eliminate barriers that can hinder their ability to thrive,” he said.
