The
state government also made it clear that it would soon begin the biometric enumeration
of cocoa farmers so that support could get to the real farmers to increase the
state’s stake in the world cocoa export map.
The
assurances came during an Export
Development Programme on agro-allied sectors in the state organised for
cocoa farmers and stakeholders by the Ibadan office of the NEPC held at Dugbe,
Ibadan.
The
Trade Promotion Advisor, NEPC, Ibadan Export Assistant Office, Mrs. Bolanle Emmanuel, said the Council
saw the need to return the state to its glory days of producing cocoa that can
help improve farmers and economy.
She
said the council was worried by why cocoa production had decline over the
years, especially the export potential and as such, called the cocoa farmers as
well as other stakeholders to address the challenges. (Nation)
