3: REPORT OF ACHIEVEMENTS ON COMPONENT BASIS
v Participating Local Government Areas
The participating Local
Government Areas in Ogun State are
Obafemi/Owode
Ijebu North East

The State Government is
yet to nominate the 4th Local Government to participate in the programme.
1.0 Component 1: Agricultural Market
Development
The aim of this component is
to enhance the profitability of smallholder farmers and small/medium-scale
agro-processors by improving their access to markets and their capacity to add
value to locally produced raw materials. The component is divided into two
sub-components, comprising (i) Support to Value Addition and Market Linkages, and
(ii) support to Market Infrastructure. The following activities were carried
out under component 1 for the period under review:
1.1.1. Market
Assessment Activity

only this, some of the rice samples have undergone germination test. seed
testing as well.
Achievement
on Cassava: - Sixteen (16) farmers were also
screened across the state covering 83.3ha. However, an individual and a farmer
organization were eventually appointed as out growers to establish 4.0ha. The
