The National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) said it is set to move cassava farming to the next level as it has embarked on measures to further revolutionize the sector with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Agbeyewa Farms Limited, designating the firm as the anchor operator for NALDA’s Cassava Farm Estate in Ekiti State.
According to NAlDA, the partnership, including others already signed are parts of efforts by the President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda to increase Nigeria’s participation in the $3.65 billion global cassava market with it’s attendant positive impacts in terms of job creation and economic viability for farmers.
