In view of the importance of ensuring food security for economic stability and prosperity, the Kaduna  Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (KADCCMA) 3-day workshop and exhibition on post harvest management/technology and value chain financing has ended with participants calling for more investments in the agriculture sector.

The workshop which was held between Wednesday 23, to Friday  November 25, 2022, turned out to be a much needed capacity building event for key stakeholders of the agriculture value chain.

The venue,  Conference Hall, Kaduna International Trade and Investment Centre, was packed full all through the duration of the workshop,  supported by the  Bank of Industry (BOI).

In his presentation, Dr. Hassan Dalhatu  of the  Farm Input Support Department and focal person  in Kaduna,  harped  on the need to leverage on sustainable technology in the agriculture value chain.

He explained the importance and  how to use and apply organic fertilizers to food crops.

Dr. Dalhatu therefore, tasked participants and guests to make deliberate efforts at using quality seedlings to get yields worth their time and investments on their farms.

KADCCMA organised the workshop in  collaboration with the  Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC.

At the exhibition in the sidelines, variety of input and locally sourced  technology were on display to the delight of visitors 

The  Chief Host was  His Excellency,  Malam Nasir el-Rufai, Executive Governor  of Kaduna State, while  Special Guest of Honour at the workshop, was  Dr Mohammed Mahmood Abubakar.

His Highness, Emir Of Zazzau,   Ambassador Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli CFR  and KADCCMA grand patron,  served as the Royal Father of the Day.
