The Farmers4Progress has embraced the newly unveiled cold room in Kuto Market Abeokuta in Ogun State.
The 24 hours solar cold room which was built by ColdHubs with support from Heifer International to help eradicate food wastage and raise farmers’ revenue.
The farmers disclosed this, during a courtesy visit, shortly after the unveiling of the cold room in the market.
The State Secretary of the union, Princess Shoyebi Olubunmi, who spoke to ColdHubs, South West Sales Marketing Officer (SMO), noted that the cold rooms have reduced the loss in their produce,as traders who have been using this innovation have attested to the benefit to their business.
“We came here today to see things for ourselves, based on the testimonial given by our colleagues concerning this cold room, as they say seeing is believing. We came, we saw and we can boldly say that this development has conquered one of the problems faced by farmers and traders in this state.
The leader commended ColdHubs for bringing up such an idea that will improve food security in Africa, while appreciating Heifer for their support towards increasing access to agricultural innovation.
One of the major problems of Farmers and Traders is food storage. A lot of people are afraid of venturing into farming business, because of its numerous losses, as some people describe it as a “SUFFER MAN BUSINESS”. If more facilities like these are invented for farmers and traders, Nigeria will be in the world Map in food production.
