Notore Chemical Industries CEO, Jite Okoloko, spoke to ABN’s Keisha Gitari about the issues his company in tackling in Nigerian farming.
Okoloko spoke about the importance of a value chain whereby the right type of fertilisers are available to farmers at the right price, quantity and time in order for better crop yields.
At present Nigerian farmers can expect less than 2-3% seed penetration and so Notore is teaching farmers best practices in order to improve results.
At this stage, farmers become the sellers looking for a market for their products but these need to be structured.
