If the
Cassava sector is properly repositioned, it is capable of saving the African
continent about $1.2b, which can be redirected into the continent’s domestic
economies. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
Director
for Agriculture, African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr. Martin Fregene, disclosed this at the just concluded fourth
International conference on cassava, organised by the Global Cassava
Partnerships for the 21st Century (GCP21), in Cotonou, Republic of Benin.
To
achieve this, the AfDB promised to invest $120m in the next two to three years
to boost productivity and transform cassava and eight other commodities in the
continent. The other commodities include:
rice, maize, sorghum/millet, wheat, livestock, aquaculture, high iron
beans, and orange-fleshed sweet potatoes.
Hmmm!!! Folks, let us say the truth and shame the devil. Many
Nigerian non-oil products exporters have been defrauded of huge amount of money
in the process of exporting agricultural commodities and solid minerals to
foreign countries. Do you know why? They were not trained on export operations,
management, documentations and the best methods of payment in export trade.
This is terrible!!! Nigerians cannot continue to lose money to foreigners in
the course of export business. Exporters, would you like to keep on being
scammed? Why don’t you get a practical manual that explains the stages of
export trade from processing and packaging of commodities to receipt of payment
by the foreign buyers? It explains export operations, export management, export
documentations and methods of payment in export trade? Yes, it is a
contemporary step-by-step guide to export trade. It tells all the contemporary dynamics
in export trade. To get it, click on the link below:
Dr.
Fregene said, “Transforming cassava on the African
continent would help African nations to cut imports and redirect about $1.2bn
into African domestic economies.”
The
conference was attended by more than 450 local and international partners in
the cassava sector, coming from research and development organisations,
government, farming community, and the private sector. AfDB’s investment in
cassava comes at a time when African governments are scaling up efforts to end
food imports and create wealth.
Dr. Fregene
said cassava was a strategic crop for Africa’s food security and wealth
creation for youth, and women, adding, “Another
dimension to the importance of cassava is in nutrition where cassava can
enhance the nutrition of children directly or as feed for poultry and other
livestock.” http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
With the largest volume of cassava coming from Africa, cassava supports more
than 350 million people in Africa.
The
Minister of Agriculture, Republic of Benin, Dr. Gaston Dossouhoui, said cassava remained the cheapest staple
consumed by Africans, adding that “Addressing the
constraints of cassava production will have a positive impact on African
farmers.” He lauded President of the AfDB, Dr. Akin Adesina, for his commitment of investing in agriculture
and cassava, in particular.
Deputy
Director General for Partnerships for Delivery, International Institute of
Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Dr. Kenton
Dashiell, said unlocking the potential of cassava required partnerships and
close collaboration of partners to address the constraints facing cassava.
