KATSINA WATCH: Federal Govt., Katsina Poised To Explore Agricultural Potentials To Boost Economy

While championing the drive for food and fibre security, NALDA is to also assist in diversifying the nation‘s economy by way of increasing household incomes.

Indeed, the farm if it fully takes off, is expected to generate over N1.7 billion annually, considering the various farming activities currently taking place therein, hence why the Aminu Bello Masari-led government, is giving all the necessary support to the farm, to help resuscitate the agriculture sector to drive the economy of the state.

Meanwhile, the Integrated Farm Estate has capacities to accommodate over 400,000 birds, 200,000 fishes, 500 animals, 3,000 rabbits, 540 litres of honey per harvest, crop farming, packaging and processing zones are inclusive. It is a chain of activities taking place with immeasurable value for the government and the people of Katsina State in particular.

With this development, the NALDA is pushing to make agriculture attractive to citizens of Katsina State, especially the youths and women, to train them in the new global innovative farming techniques to be self-employed in various farming skills. He further explained that the maintenance of the nation’s economy remains agriculture, where the country already commands a competitive benefit, with good climate conditions for crop and livestock agribusiness, willingness to learn new skills, and good soil types for all-season farming.

Also speaking, the Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, thanked President Buhari for his visionary foresight in halting the importation of rice and other commodities which he said developed additional chances for profitable food production and prioritising the agricultural sector at all levels of government.
