Cassava Seed Entrepreneurs (CSEs) in Benue State
Cassava Seed Entrepreneurs are making a lot of money selling certified and quality cassava stems of improved cassava varieties in Nigeria. They have also been instrumental in diffusing improved varieties in cassava farming communities in the country.
The Sasakawa Africa Association in Nigeria (SAA-Nigeria) is working with the BASICS-II Project of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) to establish more of these CSEs.
In the coming days, Cassava Matters will bring you the inspirational stories these successful seed entrepreneurs have to tell.

  • @elsamanso9479
    @elsamanso9479 8 місяців тому

    sorry, Dr the people's weeding by hand with no herbicide or pesticide is better quality, sorry. At least the land stays alive. trust me there is a better way to let the Earth grow better. Have you heard of Permaculture, and no dig method of farming? I don't think so please do your research. I see you are only promoting chemicals for no reason other than to enrich the chemical companies. my people, please do yourselves and Mother Earth a big favor, and say no to chemical farming, this is killing the world as we speak and you are the greatest contributors to its decline in productivity. I live in London and grew up in Ikorodu Village farming Cassava, Corn, plantain, banana, yam, and chili.
