ACFA: Question About Cooperative. No 10

Question 10: Why Do The Rochdale Pioneers Prefer To Open A Business Shop?
Answer: They preferred to open the shop because the members of the Society needed to raise money to start their store and they collected 2d or 3d a week from each member. With a loan from the Weavers Association, they were able to collect £28 and they were ready to start in business. Private shopkeepers were worried because they believe that if the working people are also setting up their own store, it will be difficult for them to acquire the required customer. This thought therefore made it very difficult for the Pioneers to find a shop. Eventually, Dr Dunlop, a local property owner, agreed to rent them the ground floor of 31 Toad Lane. The building had been a woollen warehouse and as part of the agreement, the Pioneers had to replace the large doors with a shop door and windows.

Why Is It Difficult For Edo Farmers To Become Numbers Cassava Producing State In Nigeria, By The Current Rating?



Farming is not just another great way to get rich as many people thought. There’s a higher calling in the farming division, a mix of money, enjoying life, fulfilling your dream, and a dose of altruism: “it’s obvious that the world has a serious food problem,” says Rogers in Steve Gandel’s exciting Time article. And “the only real way to solve it is to draw more people back to the farm” (agriculture).
But what possible problems are facing in striving to actualize our dream of making food sufficient for the citizenry? 

Problems We Need To Eliminate To Succeed In Agricultural Production
1.      Government should not entice people into the farming business by giving money to wrong people who are not ready to farm
2.      Government should endeavor to recognize serious minded people, who really want to make the state/country first in agricultural business among her contemporaries.
3.      An organization should be cited to be used as a channel to reach sincere and genuine farmers. All incentive for the sector must be transmitted through this association.
4.      All Cooperative Farmers Association, Edo State. Has prove to be such organization that will judiciously and meticulously guard all farmers to effective utilization of any kind of support to be directed to the farmers.
5.      Anything contrary to this suggestion may either drag the state to the sludge in respect of good faming or take the state back to the failed position they are already maintaining in the world scene.                                              
           
   ACFA works reality, not formality. the farmers cooperative community set up by All Cooperative Farmers Association will becomes visible in the next few months. And agricultural produce from the state will become essential demand by many.
The cry by the Minister of Agriculture that Raw material (CASSAVA) is needed in order to achieve the aims of 20% in our bread will become a Reality            
               To this end, the Ovia North East Local Government Chairman who wished to display her interest in agricultural development, the person of Barr. Mrs. Lucy Omagbon has given a go ahead for the Bulldozing and Grading of a major farm road in Okokhuo Community.
for sincerity sake, the head of department, Agriculture and the local government engineer visited the cooperative farm cited in the community. on the 11th February, 2014.
