3.0 SPECIAL PROJECTS

3.2 SASAKAWA AFRICA ASSOCIATION (SAA)

Due to paucity of funds on the part of FMARD the project only facilitated rice demonstration

plots at Ewekoro LGA with the use of netting material to control birds attack, along with other

technologies in rice production.

5 Ijumo rice farmers group Ijumo Village OFADA 2.8

14

An average of 3.42MT of OFADA rice was realized from the demonstration plots established as against

0.8MT-1.3MT with farmers practice.

The reason for increased yield was attributed to: Stand density, good plant population, control of birds

and rodent with Net, good fertilizer regime and timely harvesting.

3.3 Cassava Adding Value for Africa (C: AVA II)

A project sponsored by Bill and Melinda Gates foundation for the promotion of cassava as an

industrial crop and our duties are to:

Track and document the supply of fresh cassava tubers to the various value chains,

including – starch; ethanol; HQCF; chips &grits, gari; wet fufu; lafun; tapioca etc. In

the 20LGAs

Encourage the formation of farmer processor groups at the village level.

In the period under review, we tracked the supply of 1,196.68MT of fresh cassava tubers

was for conversion to High Quality Cassava Flour ( HQCF) to Thai farms , 967.03MTof Fresh

cassava tubers to Green Tech for conversion to starch, 321.87MT of fresh cassava tubers to

Allied Atlantic Igbesa for conversion to Ethanol

The tracked figures for traditional food were as follows; 542.8MT of FCT for dried fufu;

1,122.21MTof FCT for wet fufu; 95.4MTFCT for lafun, and 496.24MT FCT for garri.

3.4: PROMOTION OF VITAMIN A YELLOW CASSAVA

OGADEP also collaborated with Senator Adeyemo Women Empowerment Cooperative

(NGO) in the promotion Bio fortified cassava with vitamin A. A total of 1,100 yellow

cassava (TMS 1368) household packs were distributed to farmers in 2016 across the

state.

15

Household packs of Vitamin A cassava cuttings for farmer’s multiplication.

3.5 VALUE CHAIN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

VCDP support to ADP is for technology dissemination along cassava and rice value

chain.

Under this activity in 2016, our target was to establish 40demonstration plots (0.25 ha) of

cassava and 40HA demonstration plots (0.25ha) of rice. 32demo plots of (0.25ha/each) of

cassava and 8 demo plots of (0.25ha) in low land were established across the designated

VCDPLGAs ; ,Yewa North, Obafemi Owode, Ifo, Ijebu East and Ijebu North East.

3.6 German International Cooperation (GIZ)

A development partner with Federal Government of Nigeria in Asgricultural

sector. The GIZ conducted TOT on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) on Cassava

Production for 30 of our extension agents and also, TOT on Farmers Business School

(FBS) for another 20 of our extension officers . And as a result of these trainings, 6200

farmers were trained on GAP and 3600farmers on FBS in 2016. Moreover, GIZ

supported Ogun ADP with 15 motorcycles in the period under review for enhanced

extension service delivery.

Distribution of GAP/FBS training materials to Extension Officer for farmers step down training

3.7 SPECIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAMMES (SIP) OF THE FEDERAL

GOVERNMENT.

A total of 849 N-Agro volunteers were deployed to the ADP for onward posting. 672

were verified by National Orientation Agency (NOA) and later posted to various

duty post within our four operational Zones of the ADP.

4.0 CHALLENGES FACING THE COMPONENT

Untimely release of budgetary allocations for project implementation.(from Budget

office)

Replacement of old motorcycles for effective extension service delivery.

Repairs of faulty and dilapidated zonal offices and block offices in the affected zones.
