A fertilizer company, Our Family Farm has flagged off sales and distribution of fertilizers for 2022 farming season in some local government areas of Jigawa State.
The local government areas include, Auyo, Hadejia, kafin Hausa and kirikasamma.
Speaking during the ceremony on Monday, the founder of the modern farming firm, Malam Ahmad Hussain said that distribution of subsidized fertilizers was aimed at boosting agriculture, ensuring food security and providing employment to Nigerians.
He said about 350 tonnes of fertilizers have already been distributed to local farmers at the grassroots at a subsidized rate.
Speaking on the pattern of the distribution, Malam Ahmad said: “In line with our normal practice, fertilizer will be supplied directly to the farmers in the most strategic areas.”
The founder asserted that he travels to every site of distribution to guarantee that the distribution exercise’s rules are strictly followed in order to ensure that the product reaches its intended beneficiaries.
