Ogun State in collaboration with IITA has completed the Digital Registration of 160,000 farmers and Value Chain Actors (VCA) in the State under the Ogun State Farmer Information Management System (OGFIMS) initiative by the @DapoAbiodunCON administration. 

The exercise, funded by the Ogun State Economic Transformation Project (OGSTEP), supported by the World Bank and led by IITA @IITA_CGIAR is a cornerstone of OGSTEP, designed to enhance support for stakeholders in the agricultural value chain through leveraging of technology and data-driven strategies to strengthen the state’s agricultural sector.

Over a few months, 70 trained enumerators, divided into four regional teams and supported by 14 supervisors and monitoring officers, digitally registered 160,000 farmers and VCAs.

This large-scale data collection effort utilized advanced survey tools to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
