@AudioPirate@nentawe1 Which Nigerian states have conditions that favour growth of Irish potatoes in Nigeria (+Africa)?
All my Jos people farm this in backyards 3 times yearly.
Lagos/Abuja traders buy cheap, sell for 3x more profits than even the states largest farmers.
Government should own this
Industrialise what the people are already so interested to invest in.
Farmers have been doing impressively without government aid. Imagine what we'll do when you, @nentawe1 provide the incentives lacking. Even existing abattoirs will buy from state.
In summary:
Yes we need security but that can be achieved easily when everyone has a job, is healthy and has an enabling environment for the businesses most are engaged in.
These benefits the state would realise in 4 years and the possibilities from there on, are limitless.
Getting people to subscribe for home services where the trash is picked up by Government officials
Provide access to government-owned dump sites for free
Fining violators
Recycling organic waste for renewable energy and non-decomposables for reuse (e.g plastic bottles).
I feel ashamed that my State could go from one of the neatest to what it is now...🤢🤢🤮
JMDB could do much more.
The waste management sector and it's underestimated potential to boost tourism, health; and massively increase employment opportunities.
Now, plateau State has potential to export poultry products, and potatoes to neighbouring states and even internationally with a system that works and consistency. Not too many states around Nigeria can compete. (3/3)
When you have government-owned farms (poultry, ranches, other livestock), slaughter houses, marketplaces..., all in ONE facility; it'll be easier to monitor prices and as a result encourage small to midscale farmers to be invest more.
Fewer will need the government loans. (2/3)
@nentawe1 I feel the States next government should prioritise efficient waste management systems, industrialise poultry, potato farming and other forms of agriculture to facilitate medium to small scale farmers contribution to state revenue. The keyword is "industrialise". (1/3)
