Anambra to export 1millon tubers of yam to UK

Anambra State government has announced plans to export one million tubers of yam to the United Kingdom.


Governor Willie Obiano, who made the disclosure in Obosi, Idemili North Local Government Area of the state, also said the state would soon produce 550,000, eggs per day to meet the needs of the people.
The state last year boasted of exporting vegetables (Onugbu and Ugu) valued at $5m to Europe.
 
He said his administration had invested heavily on agriculture in the past 3 years targeted at softening the effect of the current economic recession on the citizenry.
 
According to Governor Obiano, the state had trained some personnel that would handle the exportation, which would directly and indirectly create employment for the packed unemployed youths in the state.

He restated his determination to continuously intervene in the plight of the citizenry by improving their living standard especially in this period of economic downturn.
