The Okomu Oil Palm Company Plc and the Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta have trained 500 farmers from 17 communities in Edo State in climate-smart agricultural practices. This program, part of the PIND/Okomu Corporate Social Responsibility Livelihood Project, took place on September 28 and 29 in Udo and Odighi, under the theme "From Training to Adoption: Promoting Improved and Climate-Smart Agricultural Practices."
The initiative demonstrated improved cassava stems, appropriate planting methods, and farm-establishment techniques, as well as commodity-specific practices for oil palm, cocoa, and rubber. Selected farmers were given cassava stems, fertilizers, and herbicides to support the adoption of these practices on their farms. The program aims to strengthen livelihoods in nearby communities by providing farmers with practical and lasting solutions.
Through the Green Field Days, farmers gained access to technical support, quality inputs, finance, and markets, connecting them with local technical service providers, input dealers, large buyers, and financial institutions.
