Challenges We Tackle
+1500
Agro Enterprises to be Impacted
Niger Delta’s potential to be an agricultural powerhouse is limited by access to finance hindering investment. Post-harvest losses, low-quality produce, and limited market access plague our farms. Industry lacks data, technology, and infrastructure, to grow efficiently.
LIMITED ACCESS TO FINANCE
Farmers and agribusinesses struggle to secure loans or investment capital, hindering their ability to invest in equipment, technology, and expansion.
POST HARVEST LOSSES
40% of agricultural produce spoil due to inadequate storage, transportation, or processing facilities, causing losses for farmers and food scarcity.
Limited Market Access
Farmers face challenges reaching markets due to poor infrastructure, geographical barriers, or lack of market information, limiting their ability to sell their products effectively.
Low Quality Produce for Market
Farmers produce goods that do not meet market standards due to insufficient knowledge, resources, or infrastructure for quality control and post-harvest handling.
Limited Industry Data
Stakeholders lack access to comprehensive data and insights on agricultural trends, market demands, and supply chain dynamics, impeding informed decision-making and strategic planning.
Poor Leverage on Technology
Farmers and agribusinesses underutilize technology such as precision agriculture, IoT, and data analytics, missing out on opportunities to improve efficiency, productivity, and sustainability.
Inadequate Technical Infrastructure
Insufficient infrastructure, such as roads, irrigation systems, and processing facilities, hampers agricultural production and distribution, limiting the industry’s growth and competitiveness.
