Over 70% of Nigeria’s population dwell in rural areas and a majority of this population is engaged in some kind of agricultural endeavour. Most of the food produced is at subsistence level. Food production and delivery is adversely affected by the following factors:

1. Infections by micro-organisms

2. Destruction by insect and rodent pests

3. Lack of adequate storage or preservation facilities

4. Inadequate/primitive farming methods

5. Soil erosion

6. Lack of and sometimes improper use of fertilizers

7. Inavailability of food processing plants and facilities

8. Infrastructural and logistical problems

Some of our traditional farming systems even cause the soils to become prone to erosion, while some of our local farming tools and implements go a long way in destroying the top soil – where most soil nutrients are concentrated.

Consequently, Proper Technologies Agricultural Consultancy Services focuses on:

1. Educating farmers on proper farming methods; better planting methods and timing bring about increased food production.

2. Providing laboratory and scientific data services, such as soils and samples analysis.

3. Teaching farmers the proper usage of insecticides and rodenticides.

4. Educating farmers on the use of proper basic farm tools, appropriate fertilizers and artificial manures.

5. Teaching soil erosion control techniques; from simple methods of planting legumes and practicing crop rotation to more sophisticated methods of tree planting and erosion control works.

6. Educating farmers about mechanized farming and conserving soil fertility. All these result in increased food production.

7. Educating farmers on preservation and storage techniques, for example construction of local silos for the preservation of legumes and cereals, particularly during off-season periods.

8. On special arrangements, we assist local farmers to raise funds or act as a farming finance house to enable them meet their responsibilities or ensure improved post harvest yields.

9. Proper Technologies Agricultural Consultancy Services has a specialized service for large-scale agricultural projects in which we can act as consultant/managers from conception stage, to implementation and post harvest yield stages.

10. Proper Technologies arranges financing and or financial advisory services to small-scale farmers and to large agricultural projects.

11. Teaching snail and fish farming.
