The Ambassador of the Netherlands to Nigeria, Harry Van Dijk, who disclosed this, yesterday, during the launch of the Horti Nigeria Project in Abuja, said the focus of the project is to boost vegetable production for the domestic market and make it more sustainable.
Other components include, increasing greenhouse technologies in Ogun and Oyo state and off-taking the market to Lagos state and enhancing sector coordination and business-to-business linkages, so as to contribute to improvements in federal and state horticultural policies. The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr Mohammad Abubakar while unveiling the programme, expressed concerns that Nigeria is not one of the leading tomato exporting countries, despite being rated as one of the leading producers in Africa, attributing it to low yield resulting from seed type use.
