Enugu State Agricultural  Development  Programme, ENADEP has been solicited to verify and register  cassava farmers in Enugu State. Rising from the meeting between Programme  Manger of ENADEP, Dr.Ogbonna Onyeisi  and the  President of Enugu State Farmers Association  Forum, ESFAF, Hon.Govanni Madubuaku and Chairman of Enugu State Cassava Farmers Association, ESCFA, Mr.Romanus Eze.  ESFAF and ESCFA have solicited ENADEP to lead the verification and registration of cassava farmers in Enugu  State. This  request to ENADEP is in line with the directive from His Excellency the Governor of Enugu State, Dr.Peter Mbah who has declared Enugu State Government  policy to make provision for cultivation of cassava in 100,000 hectares of     land in Enugu State. His Excellency made the declaration on 21st June,2023   during a courtesy call by the officials of Federal Minister of Finance and Economic Planning. Giving the comparative advantage  of Enugu State as one of the major producers  of cassava  in Nigeria, the Agricultural stakeholders wish to identify with this State Government policy. ESFAF and ESCAF believe ENADEP can help to harmonise the names of cassava farmers that have  registered with both Associations. Mr.Romanus Eze is Chairman, All Farmers Association, Enugu State Chapter.

The harmonised farmers list will include the name of the farmer, the size of the cassava  farmlands, the community and the local government where the farmer is planting. The information will include the quantity the farmer can harvest immediately. The aim of the verification  and registration is to have accurate data of cassava farmers and production in Enugu. Such data will help the Associations and State Government in  producing,processing,and creating market access for cassava agricultural value chain. 

During the meeting, it was also resolved that the cassava farmers will receive a free training on the making of organic fertilisers as this will reduce the cost of farming and also make their cassava have more value in the export market.

All Cassava farmers,farmers association, or cooperatives are urged to contact ENADEP Office to validate or  register as a cassava farmers. Registration will be free. Kindly contact the Programme Manager, ENADEP at No.1 Garden Avenue, GRA, Enugu or call /wassap 07030242275, Hon.Madubuaku, 08032260644 and Me.Romanus Eze, 08034025963
