Nigeria is committed to supporting large scale Onion farmers

The federal government of Nigeria is committed to increasing the production capacity of Onions by supporting the planting of high yielding onion seedlings at Tunga village in Rabba local government area of Sokoto.
Sokoto state is one of the largest onion producers in Nigeria, just as Nigeria is the largest producers of onion in sub Saharan Africa.
The program is aimed at uplifting the standard of peasant onion farmers to large scale farmers, bridging the gap between consumption and production of onions and even ensuring enough for exports.
