Brief about me

(i)    As an agricultural Economist, my study on cocoa farmers identified the leakages that exist between the farm gate and market. Restoration of marketing board control was recommended to bridge the gap and this had been published both at local and international levels;
(ii)    I applied both cross sectional and time series data to issues in Agricultural Production, through which forming farming group to eliminate the incident of middlemen was recommended. This was widely adopted by stakeholders in cocoa production especially: exporters; licensed buying agents, Processing companies, farmers and so on;
(iii)    In related study, supply chain management and performance of Cocoa industries in Nigeria was examined. Six (6) managerial duties: Lead time, Costs, Capacity, Quality, Delivery, and Flexibility were equally proposed and recommended for supply chain of agricultural produces so that farmers’ performance will be improved. This was widely adopted and adapted by the stakeholders both in cocoa supply chain and other produces;
(iv)    Advocator for Daily Market for Farm Produce to Enhance Patronage by Consumer;
(v)    Consultant for Agri-preneur, entrepreneur and agribusiness establishment for small, medium and large scale farmers; and
(vi)    I equally involved in mobilization of cashew stakeholders towards the Benefits of Advanced payment to Cashew Farmers on Cashew nut transaction.
