The federal government has launched a new initiative to enhance the productivity of small-ruminant farmers in Kano State. The program, based in Abuja, focuses on training 200 sheep and goat farmers to improve their livestock management and output.
Officials say the initiative aims to address food security and economic growth by supporting small-scale farmers. The training includes modern farming techniques and disease control methods. This comes as the government seeks to increase meat supply and household income in the region.
The program is part of broader efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector. Local farmers have expressed hope that the training will lead to better yields and market access. The government has also provided resources to help farmers implement the new practices.
The initiative highlights the government’s focus on rural development and economic diversification. It is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy and food production in the coming months.
