The Area Controller, South and
Project Director of Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Mr. Rotimi Mathew
Agbogun has tasked the Federal Government to boost its agricultural development
programmes in an effort to increase the country's export, reports Sun.
The call was made during the
organized training for NEPC staffs and aqua-culture farmers from the Institute
of Galilee in Israel. The training programme was jointly organized by NEPC and
Israeli agricultural experts.
According to Mr. Agbogun, more
can be achieved through proper export development and strategy. The country
must not import everything.
Moving from the traditional old
way of farming into modern agriculture, he said will ensure food security and
on the other hand will also increase export opportunities in agriculture value
chains.
“The problem of technology may be
there but we will certainly, one day, become like the super countries,” said
Agbogun. Read
