The Nigerian Export Promotion Council on Friday advised farmers to prioritise the production of economic crops and trees to tap from the huge potential of export to the international market. Yakusak said cultivation of economic trees like cashew and palm trees has a huge export potential and urged farmers to key in and reap the benefits. He said that the council would provide the needed awareness, technical support, capacity building and tips on how to access the international market through export. According to him, with economic crops and trees, farmers will make more money through export and use part of the profit to buy food with so much change in the bank. Furthermore he added that “We will also sensitise and mobilise farmers and Nigerians to key into the lucrative export business,” Bally said.
