The Commissioner explained that the event would enable Lagosians to shop for all farm produce at farmgate prices and buy rice at N20,000 per 50Kg bag, a result of the collaboration of the State with the Federal and Kebbi State Governments. @jidesanwoolu@lagosagric1 #LASG
She opined that the Farmers Fair would be a platform for the best of the city’s producers to meet with consumers and end-users using the traditional and innovative development methods to showcase a well organised market to meet the consumers’ increasing demand for farm produce.
She pointed out that the objectives of the market are to connect producers and make shopping entertaining; to make products accessible and affordable to consumers; #LASG#ForAGreaterLagos
To preserve the nutritional value of farm produce and to promote the “farm to fork” concept of the input and output policy of the State Government. #LASG
The Commissioner noted that farmers in the State lack direct access to markets, a situation that has led to the sale of their produce to middlemen at rather ridiculous farmgate prices, adding that the Eko City Farmers Fair would help in eradicating this. #LASG#ForAGreaterLagos
She explained that the Eko City Farmers Fair is intended to increase productivity of farmers, as well as create an avenue for inclusive business, where farmers make more profit since they are selling directly to consumers. @jidesanwoolu@lagosagric1@Abi_Olusanya #LASG
