The Managing Director of Rara Agrovet Fertilizer Company, Alhaji Abdullahi Rara, has expressed his company's willingness to collaborate with the government to improve agriculture in Nigeria.
Speaking on the progress of agriculture in Jigawa State, Alhaji Rara noted that the government's efforts, combined with support from private companies like his own, have contributed significantly to the sector's growth.
In Jigawa State, almost every village supports and assists farmers with fertilizer on a loan basis, which is repaid after harvesting.
This initiative has been instrumental in helping farmers overcome the challenges posed by fertilizer shortages and economic hardship. Alhaji Rara explained that his company has stepped in to provide support to farmers due to the lack of fertilizer, which has caused them to suffer.
However, Alhaji Rara pointed out that the government faces challenges in recovering loans provided to farmers for agricultural equipment.
This has led to the failure of various government schemes and farmers' organizations. In contrast, local companies like Rara Agrovet Fertilizer Company have planned and executed their support programs successfully, without encountering significant problems.
Alhaji Rara emphasized that the government's plans would benefit from considering the advice of private companies.
Collaboration between private fertilizer companies and the government would facilitate successful planning and support for farmers to access fertilizer and repay loans.
The Managing Director assured that Rara Agrovet Fertilizer Company is committed to collaborating with government efforts at the local, state, and federal levels to improve agriculture in Nigeria.
This partnership aims to provide essential support to farmers, promoting the country's agricultural growth and development.
Agricultural growth in Nigeria requires a multi-faceted approach, involving government initiatives, private sector participation, and support from local communities.
By working together, stakeholders can address the challenges facing the agricultural sector, ensuring that farmers have access to essential resources like fertilizer.
As Nigeria continues to navigate the complexities of agricultural development, collaborations like the one proposed by Rara Agrovet Fertilizer Company will be essential in driving growth and improving the livelihoods of farmers across the country.
