Maize Farming Cooperative

Project Overview

Maize is a staple crop in Nigeria, providing food security and income for millions of farmers. Our cooperative has been growing maize for over 5 years, but we've struggled to access quality inputs and modern farming techniques due to limited capital. With this funding, we will: 1. Purchase drought-resistant maize seeds from certified suppliers 2. Buy organic fertilizers to improve soil health and crop yield 3. Implement improved planting techniques with proper spacing 4. Set up a basic irrigation system to reduce dependence on rainfall Our members have an average of 1 hectare each, and we expect to harvest approximately 4 tonnes per hectare with these improvements, compared to our current average of 2.8 tonnes per hectare.
