CAMAP,
funded by the United Kingdom Agency for
International Development (UKAid), seeks to transform the cassava sector in
sub-Saharan Africa by enhancing
commercial production, processing and market linkages based on
business models that engender sustainability.
The
CAMAP Project Coordinator, AATF, Ayodele
Omowumi, said the project had opened a new vista for many cassava farmers
in Ogun, Kogi, Oyo, Osun and Kwara states.
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.

The
vision, according to him, is to build a sub-sector that creates a future where
cassava farmers are economically bouyant, with enhanced livelihoods. Omowumi
said weeds posed a serious threat to agricultural productivity and food
security.
Cassava
accounts for as much as a third of the total calorie intake for people in Ogun,
Kogi, Oyo, Osun and Kwara states. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
This called for an urgent increase in funding, research, training, surveillance
and other measures to help farmers. To this end, he said his organisation was
urging swift action to tackle weeds and
other issues affecting cassava.
AATF
has held a cassava weed management training at Ayetoro, Yewa North Local
Government, Ogun State. The training, organised in collaboration with the International Institute of tropical
Agriculture (IITA) and Bayer
Cropscience AG, aimed at training farmers on integrated weed management in
cassava production. It was attended by farmers from Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and
Kwara states.
The
training covered areas, such as land preparation and best agronomic practices,
types of weeds, types of herbicides, herbicides application and calibration.
There was also a practical session where participants were exposed to tips on
application and spraying.
Omonwumi
said the project was intended to change the situation by offering farmers
evidence-based information that would help them make better choices.
“As AATF, IITA and Bayer Cropscience have come together: it is a
unique conspiracy against weed control which takes about 70 per cent of the
cost of producing cassava roots”
the CAMAP project coordinator said.
He reiterated
that the integrated weed management approach is dedicated to providing viable
strategies and solutions to enhance agricultural productivity and secure cassava supplies in the long term. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
Its aim is to strengthen the capacity of farmers and build a more resilient
food supply chain.
The
partners called for more concerted efforts to tackle the menace of weeds. They
warned that unless weed infestation on field is addressed, farmers would not be
able to maximise the gains of crop improvement.
Recently,
commissioners of agriculture in Nigeria’s cassava growing belt decried weeds
menace which they blamed for low yields in cassava and the main constraint to
the competitiveness of cassava farmers in the country. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
To
stem the menace, the commissioners signed in a communique at the 2018 Annual
Review & Work Planning Meeting of the IITA Cassava Weed Management Project
themed: “(Unveiling of new Technologies for Weed Control in Cassava Farming
Systems),” in Ibadan, in March.
Deputy
Director General, Partnerships for Delivery at IITA, Dr. Kenton Dashiell, said the declaration was a step in the right
direction. “The first step to solving a problem is
identifying and recognizing that you have a problem,” he said.
