D.E.T Services one of the fastest growing Agrotech companies in Nigeria that majors in input supply, input application and farm management using precision drones for both digital mapping, survey, crop monitoring and input spraying was recently visited by their foreign partners and donors, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Ebonyi State, one of of their sites of operation.
At the meeting, important points on ways to improve the farm management practices of rural farmers in Nigeria were discussed. Technological advancement and their impact on rural farming was also highlighted.
The USAID representatives encouraged the team members of D.E.T to keep increasing their work force and outreach to more farmers and cover more grounds in Nigeria especially as they are helping these farmers reduce the stress of labour, reduce wastage of input and increase their profitability.
As part of their activities, D.E.T Services is also engaged in input financing to farm clusters in Abia and Ebonyi States, to mark the commencement of the wet season farming. These rural farmers that previously lacked access to quality input as a result of lack of finance were very excited to get these inputs with the convenient payment option of paying at the end of the planting season.
The Managing Director D.E.T Services, Mr. Onyekachi Michael reiterated that the programme, will not stop with the few farmers in Abia and Ebonyi state but would be replicated in other states in the South East and subsequently the federation as a whole.
