I am not sure exactly but should be more than 10 hectares.Sometimes I buy from the NIHORT and sometimes from the state ministry of agric.My mother-in-law is into local palm oil processing. I do follow her to the farm and I saw the way palm oil was processed locally I then decided to modernise it so the product will be more hygienic.
Besides, on the farm locally we use our knees to work and it affects our knees and I wanted a way to relief people from that pain. The modernised one produces more and save time and labour.I have heard of improved seeds and that is what I use on my farm.Ms Olaleye: With the help of Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria, SMEDAN, through our cooperative Small-scale Women Farmers Organisation in Nigeria , we were able to get free loans and grants which we decided to use to acquire machines.
When they visited our farms and saw what we were doing they said they were impressed and gave grants with loans at low interest which is what we used to get the machines. It was about N2 million.One of them does come to the farm as the rest are not in the state. But whenever they are home they do come and assist in the farm, but I use external labour on my farm.Everyday I get an average of 15 drums, weekly is 105 while monthly is 105 by 4.
During the pandemic we had less sales and we are yet to recover, people coming from other states did not come to buy so our products were there without being sold. There were inadequate access to sell our products.PT: What do you want?What I want is that the government should assist us as any money assisting women farmers is not a waste since we are the source of the economy of the state and of the nation as a whole.
Daily? ,is that motivational statement or what?
