Anambra State Governor’s wife, Nonye Soludo has stated that her export support promise to female farmers across the state is still effective.
The governor’s wife had recently, during her interactions with different women groups in the state, pledged to assist any female farmer, whose farm produce pass pure organic assessments, with export support.
The move according to her, is not just to push women to go into agriculture, but to most importantly, encourage them to adopt the basics of organic farming as well as move their proceeds beyond local markets to gain international benefits patronage .
Speaking in Awka, Mrs.Soludo affirmed that her promise is still effective, and would be on for as long as it benefits a good number of Anambra Women, who are into serious commercial agriculture.
She noted that as a full-time farmer herself, she understands the inherent benefits and appealed to women to engage in at least subsistence agriculture as a way to ensure food sufficiency in their homes.
The governor’s wife asked them to move away from fertilizer-based farming, reminding them of the health importance of going full organic, both in their farming practices and in choosing what they eat.
