Agric in North West Thousands plantlets, cassava cuttings to boost yields
Agric in North West: Thousands plantlets, cassava cuttings to boost yields.
The General Manager of the North West Development Authority, MIDENO, Cletus Anye Matoyah, has encouraged farmers in the North West Region to turn full circle and give food security, biodiversity a chance while combating the threatening climate change.
Representatives of farmer groups from all the seven divisions were beneficiaries of some 15, 000 plantain plantlets, 100 000 cassava cuttings and 11 5000 environmentally friendly trees offered by MIDENO in their role in promoting rural development. The event featured presentation by experts on cultural techniques of the crops. It was all about lectures on best practices in planting, harvesting and use of cassava and plantain which features as important economic and domestic crops. It emerged that cassava is a strategic, tropical crop to promote during the Covid-19 challenge. It requires good soils, hot and humid climate, and needs to be planted alone or with crops like corn and groundnuts, but not beans and cow pea. Meanwhile, plantains require good planting materials, moderate climate condition to impress in yields.
Encouraging the farmers, Cletus Anye Matoyah stressed that MIDENO has in 39 years excelled in the coordination, supervision and support to rural development. It was against this background that he announced the approval by the government of the pilot phase of a new MIDENO project to combat the impact of climate change, improve access to renewable energy and enhance disaster risk management. The farmers equally took home huge quantities of Covid-19 prevention kits like buckets, sanitizers, face masks etc, in the conviction that only healthy people can carry out farming activities.
MIDENO also takes credit with heavy equipment that have been accompanying communities to improve farm-to-markets roads. The Authority also sounds off with three ongoing projects worth over FCFA 75 billion financed by the government, the AfDB and the Islamic Development Bank. It’s all about efforts to achieve Gross Regional happiness.
