In a bid to boost agricultural productivity and support smallholder women farmers, Ayosifam Integrated Service Limited, in partnership with the Kwara State Agricultural Development Project (ADP), has empowered 10 selected women farmers from Moro and Ilorin South local government areas with extension services, inputs, training, and online market access.
Speaking at the project inauguration in Ilorin on Monday, Funmilayo Esther Famuyiwa, Co-founder and CEO of Ayosifam Integrated Service Limited, highlighted the initiative’s focus on improving the economic well-being of women farmers.
According to Famuyiwa, the project is designed to enhance productivity and profitability for women.
“In our four years of operation, we discovered some gaps in the farmers. Because we are not after profit-making alone but to impact our community, we came up with this project to empower smallholder women farmers to increase their yields. With the support being given to them, there will be an improvement in their productivity, and they will earn more income,” Famuyiwa said.
