This arrangement is expected to reduce risks associated with quality and volume fluctuations, promote price stability for consumers, and increase farmers\u2019 incomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cIn addition, the programme will expand opportunities for inter-state agricultural trade, improve logistics and distribution networks, and strengthen the state\u2019s food supply chain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cThe initiative focuses on increasing food production within Lagos while also building strategic partnerships with farmers in major food-producing states across the country. By enrolling, farmers will be integrated into a central database that will serve as the foundation for planning, interventions, and the delivery of support services,\u201d she stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Farmers are encouraged to register via the official link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/48dAWiI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/48dAWiI<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The registration link will also be accessible through the Ministry\u2019s official communication channels:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Facebook:<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> Lagos Agriculture<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 <\/span><span class=\"s1\">X (Twitter):<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lagosagric1\" rel=\"nofollow\">@lagosagric1<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Instagram:<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/lagosagric01\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lagosagric01<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Website:<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lagosagric.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.lagosagric.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Further details on the programme, including subsequent phases, will be communicated through these platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Systems has commenced the registration of farmers operating in the state under the Produce for Lagos Programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25146,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[8372,138,9643,11110,11109],"class_list":["post-25144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-metro","tag-farmers","tag-lagos","tag-olusanya","tag-produce-for-lagos-programme","tag-registration"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25144"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25144"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25148,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25144\/revisions\/25148"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/25146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
