CFTP 2015: "more than a developmental project"

CFTP 2015- more than a developmental project
 
....the Commercial Farming Training Project, 2015 has proved to be more than the conventional agricultural development projects. 

using a baseline of crops with comparative advantage per State, needs analysis per community and presence of available farming technologies per geo-political region, the Project has survived and succeeded the 1st quarter of the Nigerian Economy Stagnation, 2016. 

if the Market Gardening and Irrigation technology provided by the National Directorate of Employment has trained 25 persons on Commercial Vegetable Farming for the markets, then we all agree that the demand is up-most for vegetable in the dry, hot season around the Country.

also, if the demand for farm Broilers is to meet the demand of the 1st quarter of 2016, this would be a miracle, hence the choice for Commercial Broiler Production was not in vain.

this technique demonstrated by the Officers of the Rural Employment Promotion Dept, of the NDE demands full recognition and applause, as we carry out policies based on research and feedback mechanisms.   

the beneficiaries at the end were fully resettled and hence began their projects ahead of the loan repayment periods, this is to enable them save enough for uncertainties in the future and meet certain market demands related to festivals.

 thanks.

Recently the Directorate disbursed the sum of NGN 630,000 per 3 Participants per State for a whooping 12 States as pilot. 

The Project has began to yield good results as 100% of the Participants are making profits in their agribusiness and are paying back their loans, only just after five (5) months.

The Broiler Production Loan Scheme is a project aimed at increasing the productivity Broiler Farmers thereby increasing the population and availability of Broiler Meat in the Market. The Rural Employment Promotion Department of the NDE, is a driver of farmer productivity and rural farm sustainability, through Agribusiness and Farm Entrepreneurial Development Concepts.

the Pilot is to be analyzed by next rainy season and a full proposal would be drawn if the pilot meets a 70% Project Simulation mark (New).
