Prof. Charles Soludo, governor of Anambra State, on Wednesday, flagged off the state’s farming season with a promise to kick-start palm revolution.
The governor took to his twitter account @CCSoludo, to disclose the development on Thursday.
“Yesterday, I flagged-off the 2022 Anambra farming season, and also launched our administration’s flagship agro-economic policy, themed; Regenerative Agriculture (Regen-Agriculture),” he wrote.
“Our policy on regenerative Agriculture will kick start the palm revolution, as in the days of Michael Okpara; commence the coconut economy in Anambra, and valorize redundant forest reserves.
“Regenerative agriculture is the new old way of farming. The difference is that today we have tools and skills that enable us monitor and manage natural processes for optimal efficiency.
“Regenerative agriculture will help our hardworking farmers cut down on the cost of inputs and enjoy in a sustainable manner, a high yield for low-cost input.
“The traditional economy is not yet out, but I envisage a palm and coconut economy that will be the major game changer in terms of the diversification of our sources of foreign exchange.
“I wish our Farmers a great farming season, and a bountiful harvest in the days ahead.”
