Feeding maggots to poultry significantly reduces feed costs, as they can be produced cheaply from organic waste. Additionally, maggots are rich in protein and essential nutrients, promoting healthy growth and improved egg production in birds. #PoultryFarming #PoultryFeeds

Transformative Agri makes youth join. @YEAN_Agro @FoodMoriso96419

Today we met with Morison Food to strengthen collaboration on the chili contract farming initiative, review progress, address farmers’ concerns, and agree on actions to improve project delivery. Through the @AGRA_Africa-supported #YEFFA_Program, market linkage remains a key YEAN intervention connecting youth farmers to buyers. For instance in Season B 2026, 20 young farmers started chili farming on 6.7 hectares in @RwandaEast, with plans to expand the number of farmers and land size in Season A 2027.

I used to think you must own a farm to make money in agriculture… I was wrong. And honestly… that mindset is costing a lot of people money in Africa right now. Let me show you one underrated but powerful model: Contract Farming 👇 First… what exactly is contract farming? It’s simple (but powerful). You don’t need to own land. You don’t need to be on the farm every day. Instead: You enter a structured agricultural agreement with a farmer before production starts. You agree on: Crop production (rice, maize, poultry, etc.) Quantity and quality Market access (who will buy) No guessing. No “we’ll see how it goes.” Let me say something most people avoid… Farming is not the biggest problem in African agriculture. The real problem is: 👉 Market uncertainty Farmers produce… But they don’t know: Who will buy At what price When they’ll sell That’s where losses begin. Now here’s the shift… With contract farming, the market comes before the harvest. Read that again. Before planting — there is already a buyer, pricing structure, and agreement. That changes everything. This is why smart agricultural investors are paying attention 👇 Instead of random farm investments… They are using contract farming to: Reduce agricultural risk Secure supply chains Predict return on investment (ROI) Scale agribusiness without owning land It’s not farming anymore… It’s agricultural system design. But let me be real with you (no hype)… Contract farming is not magic. You can still lose money. Because agriculture will always involve: Weather risk Farmer default Price fluctuations Poor farm management Anyone promising “guaranteed profit” is selling you a story. Still… It’s far better than investing blindly. Because now you have: ✔ Structure ✔ Agreements ✔ Defined value chain ✔ Clear exit (market) And in Africa’s agriculture… That level of clarity is rare. Something else people don’t talk about enough… Contract farming empowers farmers too. They get: Access to finance Inputs (seeds, feed, fertilizers) Guaranteed off-take Sometimes technical support So it’s not exploitation… It’s alignment. Let me say this carefully… The future of agriculture in Africa will not be built by farmers alone. It will be built by: Investors Systems Partnerships Market structures And contract farming sits right in the middle of it. If you’re thinking about investing in agriculture in Africa… Don’t just ask: “What farm should I invest in?” Ask yourself: 👉 “Where is the structure?” 👉 “Where is the market?” 👉 “Where is the agreement?” Because that’s where the real money hides. My honest opinion? Contract farming is one of the most practical ways to: Invest in agriculture without farming Reduce risk in agribusiness Build scalable agricultural income Quiet model… But powerful. Most people will ignore this… Because it’s not loud. It’s not flashy. But those who understand it early? They won’t just invest in agriculture… They’ll position themselves inside the system.

Proper design, correct disinfectant concentration, & good hygiene can significantly improve animal comfort, productivity, & farm profitability. Regular hoof care isn’t just treatment — it’s prevention. Keep your herd walking comfortably & producing efficiently. #DairyFarming

🐄 Healthy Hooves = Higher Milk Production! Footbath management is one of the simplest yet most effective practices to prevent lameness, digital dermatitis, and hoof infections in dairy cattle.

A downer cow after calving isn't a disease, but a sign of underlying issues like milk fever, nerve damage, or infections; addressing these causes promptly can save the cow's life and productivity. linkedin.com/posts/emmanuel…

The best time to vaccinate cattle against CBPP is during the dry season (Nov-Mar in Nigeria), at least a month before movement or market season; vaccinate annually, using a live attenuated vaccine subcutaneously. linkedin.com/posts/emmanuel…
