US $36 million loan for smallholders

    ABIDJAN

    A US $36-million IFAD loan for Nigeria's `Roots and Tubers Expansion Programme' targets small holders mainly in the southern and middle-belt states of the country.

    The project aims to expose the majority of the target group to improved varieties of roots and tubers, impart cultural practices as well as reach out to the poorest segment of the population: farmers faced with constraints related to land, labour, soil infertility and erosion.
