Farmers Input support mission is to improve the quality of life of
the low-income farmers household to foster increase in income and yield of
agricultural produce ready for market, to ensure sustainable growth, alleviate
poverty and impact of climate change among rural family Farmer household.
Farmers Input support provides a
sustainable and affordable animal farm input to rural family farmers in coastal
area of Delta state, to enable the farmer achieve bumper harvest, support
healthy families, and be profitable. We distribute revolving input credit from
farm input bank to farmers within the agricultural value chain and helping to
make their production cycle successful.
Farmers Input Support platform brings together a more robust model that allows farmers take
animal feeds and seed on credit to cover their cycle of production and pay back
at harvest with some quantity of their farm produce. By supporting farmers with
input will enhance increase in their yield and profit.
Igberaese Peter Michael founded Farmers
Input support in 2018 with a vision to help low-income farmers within the
coastal areas over come low yield and losses resulting from lack of adequate
resources to get the right quantity of input required for each production
cycle. Farmers Input Support gives input credit to support the agricultural
value chain production from compost manure, quality seed, fertilizers, and
livestock and fish feed. Our input project support all forms of input required for
a successful agricultural production.
The current pandemic has had negative
impact on the incomes of rural family farmer household; there has been about
60% reduction in the prices of their harvested produce. The current loss has
led to some losing their main source of livelihood.
Feeding constitutes the fundamental and
major management concern in poultry and fish production since major expenditure
(60-70%) in poultry and fish rising is feed cost. Readily availability of feed
is one of the key factors for successful fish and poultry production.
Farmers Input Support provides holistic
solution to problems affecting farmers yield and income. We measure success in
our ability to make more stakeholders profitable. We imagine a future in which
every partner in the agricultural value chain has the information on best
practices in the sector and means to accomplish abundant harvest, high
productivity and profit.
