Farmers Training


Farmers Training

The Frankly International Training Enterprise Limited by Guarantee is deeply committed to transforming the agricultural landscape by equipping smallholder farmers and agribusiness entrepreneurs with practical, modern, and climate-smart agricultural skills. Our farmers’ training programs are designed to improve productivity, increase profitability, and enhance food security in communities across Nigeria and beyond.

Participants gain comprehensive knowledge on crop production, including land preparation, soil fertility management, pest and disease control, irrigation techniques, and sustainable farming practices that minimize environmental degradation. Livestock management is another core area, covering animal husbandry, nutrition, breeding, vaccination programs, and disease prevention to ensure healthier herds and higher yields.

Post-harvest handling forms a significant part of our curriculum, emphasizing proper storage, grading, processing, and value addition techniques that reduce post-harvest losses and improve market value. Trainees are introduced to quality inputs such as improved seeds, fertilizers, and agrochemicals, alongside training in the proper use of mechanized tools and innovative agricultural technologies.

The Frankly International Training Enterprise Limited by Guarantee beyond production, prioritizes market linkages, equipping farmers with knowledge of pricing mechanisms, contract farming, cooperative structures, and access to national and international markets. Financial literacy, record-keeping, and agribusiness management are integrated into the training to empower farmers to make informed investment decisions, scale operations, and optimize the entire value chain.

Our training also incorporates climate-smart approaches, teaching farmers adaptive strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change, such as drought-resistant crops, water conservation techniques, and agroforestry. By combining technical knowledge with entrepreneurial skills, our programs transform subsistence farming into profitable agribusiness ventures, contributing to rural development, job creation, and national food security.
