EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

he African Development Bank (AfDB)-funded Agricultural Transformation Agenda Program, Phase-1 (ATASP-1) is providing interventions in 33 LGAs spread across 7 states namely, Anambra, Enugu, Kano, Kebbi, Jigawa, Niger and Sokoto. The program is implemented through the commodity value chain development approach using 3 distinct components (infrastructure development, commodity value chain development and program management). The ATASP-1 commissioned the conduct of a rapid yield survey to determine the productivity of beneficiary farmers (for rice, cassava and sorghum) in the participating states. The results from this survey would be of help in comparing the yield of promoted commodities across the staple crop processing zones as well as validate the inclusiveness of the ATASP-1 beneficiaries, in terms of youth and gender. The survey was conducted in the four staple crop processing zones of AATASP-1 which include Adani-Omor, Bida-Badegi, Kano-Jigawa and Kebbi-Sokoto using a multi-stage sampling technique. A total of 36 beneficiary respondents (comprising lead farmers and demonstration plots) were proposed to be surveyed (using structured questionnaire) and their plot yields determined using the 'crop cutting technique'. Simple descriptive statistics was applied in analyzing the collected data. Results of the study showed that 31 (only 1 female and 30 male) farmers were covered in the study with a mean age of 40.5 years. Average household size of respondent farmers was 11 persons while mean farm size was 0.6ha. Most of the surveyed households had been on their enterprise production activity for almost 17years. In terms of educational attainment, 28% of the surveyed farmers had tertiary education, followed by 25% that had primary education. Average yield of rice was 3.6mt/ha from the lead farms and 4mt/ha from the demonstration farms. That of sorghum was 1.0m/ha for each of the lead and demonstration farms. Cassava yield was recorded as 22.8mt/ha and 33.7mt/ha for lead and demonstration farms, respectively. Based on the experience garnered from this survey, we recommend that subsequent yield survey should be properly timed to give room for early commencement with due consideration of timing of harvest for the respective crops promoted by the program. Further, the survey requires more time than that allocated for it.

1.0 1.1

INTRODUCTION Background of ATASP-1: The AfDB funded Agricultural Transformation Agenda Support Program Phase-1 (ATASP-1) was initiated in Nigeria in 2015 and is currently being implemented in four Staple Crop Processing Zones (SCPZs). The states covered by the Zones are Anambra and Enugu (Adani/Omor Zone), Niger (Bida/Badegi Zone), Jigawa and Kano (Jigawa/Kano Zone), and Kebbi and Sokoto (Kebbi/Sokoto Zone). The Program is presently providing interventions in over 200 rural communities spreading across 33 LGAs in Seven States of Anambra, Enugu, Kano, Kebbi, Jigawa, Niger and Sokoto. These communities and Local Government Areas of the seven States occupy about 194,426 square kilometre of land area with a population of 32,121,944 people who are predominantly farmers and rural entrepreneurs.

1.2

Programme Goal and Objectives: The main/Primary goal of ATASP-1 is to contribute to poverty reduction, employment generation, import substitution, economic diversification and growth of Nigeria, particularly in Adani-Omor, Bida-Badeggi, Kano-Jigawa and Kebbi-Sokoto Staple Crop Processing Zones. The specific development objectives of the program include: to improve food and nutrition security, create jobs and enhance the incomes and shared wealth of the program beneficiaries on a sustainable basis through rice, sorghum and cassava value chains.

1.3

Programme Endline Outcomes: The major outcomes expected from the interventions are: a) 20, 000 metric tons of food crops produced per annum b) 120, 000 new Jobs created along commodity value chains c) 25% Increased Incomes of beneficiaries. d) 200, 000 Youths trained on agribusiness and enterprise development

1.4

Programme Implementation Strategy: The program implementation strategy is based on commodity value chain development approach. This implementation strategy is geared towards ensuring improved crop productivity and continuous linkages with the off-takers of produce leading to incremental food supply and strong partnership of value chain actors in the domestic markets, thereby contributing to enhanced food and nutrition security, promoting employment creation, promoting income generation and wealth creation, and reducing hunger in Nigeria.

1.5

Program Components and Description: The Program is made up of three complementary and mutually reinforcing program components, as described below:

Component 1: Infrastructure Development Rehabilitation of agricultural and ancillary social infrastructure, namely: irrigation water conveyance canals, various hydraulic structures, feeder roads, primary schools, community health centres, provision of potable water supply and sanitation/hygiene facilities; rehabilitation of demonstration and technology centres, and community produce markets. Component 2: Commodity Value Chain Development Capacity development for relevant ministries and departments; private and communitybased institutions; training value chain actors in technical and managerial skills; promoting use of science & technology; training in post-harvest reduction methods; business and entrepreneurship training; training of communities and health workers on prevention and management of common diseases, nutrition and hygienic practices; development of market information system (MIS); management of environmental and social impacts; implementation of policies to promote private sector investment in agriculture. There is an outreach sub-program of ATASP-1, which is embedded in the component 2 of the program, and implemented by IITA and its consortium, comprising IITA, AfricaRice and ICRISAT. The responsibility of implementing Component 2, rest on CGIAR centres in Nigeria and with the objective of transforming Nigeria's cassava, rice, and sorghum sectors with the three CGIAR centres. The mandates of the CGIARs include; IITA for cassava; AfricaRice for rice; and ICRISAT for sorghum with their national partners, and IITA as the prime contractor for executing the outreach sub-program. This Sub-Program has three sub-components as follows: Sub-Component 1: Technology verification and extension with activities on (i) Technology verification, (ii) seed systems, planting material production, and diffusion. Sub-Component 2: Skill development activities on (i) agribusiness development, (ii) processing and marketing, and (iii) promotion of youth entrepreneurship in agriculture. Sub-Component 3: Effective program management comprising activities such as: (i) M&E studies, (ii) performance management & reporting, (iii) establishment of an appropriate management structure, and (iv) the establishment of Youth Agribusiness Training Centres. The targeted beneficiaries of the outreach sub-program include; farmers' groups, processor groups, farmer input/service provider groups, sensitized persons (for market information services, open days, mass media), fabricators, marketers and transporters, seed companies, the youths, training participants, and policy makers. Component 3: Program Management Coordination of program activities; management based on results measurement framework; monitoring and evaluation; implementation of Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP); program procurement, disbursement, financial management, audit and reporting. 2

OBJECTIVES OF THE YIELD SURVEY The rapid yield survey has the main objective of determining the productivity of ATASP1 beneficiary farmers who are supported in rice, cassava and sorghum production. In specific terms, the objectives of the survey are to: i. Obtain representative yield data of ATASP-1 farmers (for rice, cassava and sorghum) in the project implementing states across Nigeria; ii. Compare the yield of the promoted commodities of ATASP-1 across the SCPZs; iii. Identify and assess the agricultural techniques applied by ATASP-1 farmers in their crop production activities that could affect yield; iv. Validate the inclusiveness of the ATASP-1 beneficiaries in terms of youth and gender.

2.1

Significance and Purpose of the Survey: Most smallholder farmers do not keep sufficient records of their farm production activities and can hardly estimate their crop yields. It is imperative therefore, that the yield of the focus crops under ATASP-1 be accurately and objectively measured as implementation progresses so as to properly advise programme management, policy makers and AfDB. This has informed the undertaking of this rapid yield survey under the program. The results of the yield survey would be useful in many respects, including the following: i. Contributing to the baseline estimates towards assessment of the impact of the program. ii. Obtaining an insight of the yearly performance of the program in affecting the crop productivity of the beneficiaries. iii. Providing a basis for comparing food production levels of ATASP-1 beneficiary communities (clusters) and non-beneficiary communities; as well as comparison of the performance between ATASP-1 and other intervention programs in the country. v. Guiding both the ATASP-1 management team and the government at all levels in decision making to enhance the performance of the program and better the lots of its beneficiaries.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY Study Area: The study was carried out in all the four Staple Crop Processing Zones (SCPZs) of ATASP-1 including Adani-Omor, Bida-Badeggi, Kano-Jigawa and Kebbi-Sokoto as shown in Figure 1. Each of the zones has distinct agro-ecological features and agronomic practices adopted by the programme beneficiaries which include farmers and farmers' cooperatives, commodity processors, private sector operators and registered Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), input dealers and service providers in the four staple crop processing zones whose profiles and agro-ecological features are provided in the following paragraphs. 3

3.1.1 Adani-Omor Zone The zone is located in the South East part of Nigeria and comprises of Anambra State (Long 7°00E and 7°08E; Lat 6°00N and 6°00N) and Enugu State (Long 6°53E and 7°55E; Lat 5°56N and 7°06N). The Elevation of the two states are estimated at 112m and 142m for Anambra and Enugu, respectively. The Zone has a combined land area of 2 2 2 12,547km (4887 km and 7660 km for Anambra and Enugu respectively). Total cultivated land in Anambra State is about 428,804,000 hectares. The programme is covering seven (7) LGAs in the zone, namely: Ayamelum, Ogbaru, Orumba North and Orumba South (in Anambra State) and Isi-Uzo, Udenu and UzoUwani (in Enugu State). Major crops grown in the zone include cassava, rice, maize, yam, oil palm, cocoyam, vegetables, melon, water melon, plantain, cashew and many others. Livestock commonly produced in the zone are goat, cow, sheep, poultry, fish and pig. Anambra State has a population density of 1,000 persons per square kilometer while that of Enugu State is 425 persons per square kilometer. Average household size is about 7 persons in Anambra State and 10 persons in Enugu State. Majority of the people in the zone are rural farmers cultivating an average of 2ha under dominantly crop mixture practice and sporadic sole cropping at upland and irrigated areas. Soil types commonly found in the zone are loamy, red-brown-pale clayey, alluvial sandy, loamy sandy and porous red soil, and these are suitable for agricultural production activities. Vegetation of the zone is dominantly savanna with stretches of rainforest. Major rivers that drain the zone include: River Niger, Anambra River and Ezu River (for Anambra State) and Amanyi River, Obinna River, Imo River and Ebonyi River (for Enugu State). Agricultural production challenges of the zone are high cost of inputs, inadequate extension personnel, poor storage facilities, erosion and flood menace, resource poverty of farmers, lack of modern equipment and poor access roads from farm areas to markets. 3.1.2 Bida-Badeggi Zone The zone is located in the North Central Region of Nigeria. The zone is comprise of Niger 2 State located on Long 6°00E and Lat 10°00N. The Zone has a land area of 76,373km . The seven (7) LGAs covered by ATASP-1 in the Zone include: Gbako, Agaie, Katcha, Lapai, Lavun, Mokwa and Wushishi. These LGAs have a combined land area of 19,313km2 with a population of about 1,029,313 (NPC, 2006) and population density of 55.7persons per sq. km. Average farm size of farmers in the zone is in the range of 2ha to 3ha while the household size ranges from 8 to 10 persons. The zone is drained by two major rivers, namely: River Niger and River Kaduna. Average 4

annual rainfall reported in Zone is 11,600mm. Soil types found in the zone include fluvisols, regiosols, gleysols, acrisols, ferrasols, ailsols, luvisols, nitosols, arenosols and vertisols. The vegetation of the zone is dominantly guinea savannah, having tall grass and deciduous trees. Major crops grown in the zone include cassava, rice, maize, yam, sorghum, millet and groundnut while common livestock produced in the zone are cattle, goat, sheep and poultry. Agricultural production constraints of the zone include low soil fertility, poor access to credit and machines, inadequate high yielding improved varieties and breeds of crops and livestock, high of production inputs, high cost of production and poor market competitiveness of domestic agricultural products. 3.1.3 Kano-Jigawa Zone: The Kano-Jigawa Zone comprises Kano and Jigawa States. The Zone is located in the North West region of Nigeria. The eight (8) LGAs covered by ATASP-1 in the zone are Rano, Bagwai, Bunkure (for Kano) and Mallam Madori, Gwaram, Kafina Hausa, Auyo and Miga (for Jigawa). The coordinates of Kano State is at Latitude 11°30N and Longitude 8°30E at an elevation of 488m; while that of Jigawa State is between Latitudes 11°N and 13°N; and Longitudes 8°E and 10.15°E. In terms of total land area, Kano State 2 2 occupies 20,131km while Jigawa State occupies 23,154km . Kano state is bordered by Karsina State (to the North West), Jigawa State (to the North East), Bauchi State (to the South East) and Kaduna State (to the South West) while Jigawa State is bordered by Kano and Katsina States (to the West), Bauchi State (to the East) and Yobe State (to the North East). Jigawa State has an international border (to the North) with the republic of Niger. Kano State is drained mainly by Rivers Kano and Challawa while Jigawa State is drained by Kafin Hausa River. Kano State has a population density of 470 persons per sq. km. The vegetation of the two states is largely sudan savannah suitable for grazing and livestock production. However, Jigawa State is experiencing forest depletion (desertification) in its northern fringes. It has vast fertile arable land suitable for the production of most tropical crops. Farming is practiced in the state at both subsistence and commercial scales. Major crops produced in the zone include maize, rice, millet, sorghum, groundnut, sesame, gum Arabic, cotton and garlic. Hides and skin is also produced in the zone. Livestock production is also common in the zone with animals such as cattle, goat, sheep and poultry kept on free range. 3.1.4 Kebbi-Sokoto Zone: This Zone is located in the North West Region of Nigeria. The zone comprises of two states namely: Kebbi and Sokoto. Kebbi State is located between Longitudes 3°30E and 6°00E and Latitudes 10°N and 13N° while Sokoto State is located between Longitudes 11°30E and 13°50E and Latitudes 4°00N and 6°40N. The LGAs covered by the programme in the zone include: Argungu, Dandi, Suru, Bagudo, Shanga, Ngaski (in 5

Kebbi State) and Kware ((in Sokoto State). Kebbi State has a total land area of 2 2 37,698.69km while that of Sokoto is 28,323.37 km . The population densities of the states of the zone are 56 and 170 persons per sq km for Kebbi and Sokoto State, respectively. Annual average rainfall recorded for Kebbi State is 754mm while that of Sokoto ranges between 550mm and 800mm. River Niger and River Rima drains Kebbi State while Sokoto and Rima Rivers drain Sokoto State. The people of the zone are predominantly peasant farmers who have average farm size of 1.5ha and mean household size of 6 (in Kebbi) while that of Sokoto ranges from 6 to 20 persons per household. Guinea Savannah is the predominant vegetation in the zone. Soil types found in the zone ranges from the heavy clay in the fadama areas to sandy loam and sandy soil in the upland areas. Major crops (in mixed and sole patterns) grown in the zone are rice, sorghum, maize, millet, cowpea, wheat, sweet potato, cotton, soybean and sugarcane while the common livestock of the zone include: cattle, sheep, goat and poultry. Fish production is also common in Kebbi State (1.0million mt/year). Main production constraints of the zone include high cost of inputs, high farmerextension ratio, poor storage facilities, high cost of paddy handling and processing.

The study was conducted using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative details on the amount of amount of output the beneficiaries obtained, size of land they cultivated and amount of inputs they applied were gathered during the survey. The quantitative details were subjected to statistical analyses using appropriate statistical packages to obtain the expected results. Qualitative details were sought from the beneficiaries to address issues of how and why relating to their production activities such as the type of varieties of crops they planted, weed control measure, sources of inputs, their perception of the output relative to previous year, and so on. These qualitative responses would help to explain the quantitative results. 3.2

Sampling: A multi-stage random sampling technique was adopted in selecting the respondents for the survey. The first stage was the selection of all the states participating in the ATASP-1. The second stage was the selection of three (3) LGAs in each of the Zones. The third stage was the selection of one (1) community/cluster from each of the sampled LGAs. Lastly, the fourth stage was the selection of three (3) respondents from each of the sampled communities. Thus, a total of nine (9) respondents were drawn from each Zone; giving a total sample size of thirty-six (36) respondents from all the four zones of ATASP-1 (see the summary Table below).

Note: i) The clusters in each state/zone are known to be homogeneous in their farming practices and livelihoods. ii) The beneficiaries are known to be on the same scale of production using similar production techniques/practices. 3.3

Survey Equipment: The yield survey was conducted with a number of relevant equipment and devices. Critical among the equipment required to effectively carry out the yield survey are the triangular ropes, weighing scales, harvest bags, threshing mats, Global Positioning System (GPS), rain boots, sun caps, overcoat and cutlass, harvesting knives/sickles, calculators, notebooks, pencils, erasers and sharpeners.

3.4

The Crop Cutting Technique: Harvest measurement entailed the laying of triangular sub-plots of 0.01ha on the respondent farmers' fields as well as the demonstration plots following a random 7

approach. The harvest and yield measured for each respondent farmer from the triangular subplot was extrapolated to the entire field that had been measured using the GPS device (See Annex B for plot coordinates). 3.5

Yield Determination: Given that the harvest weight from the triangular subplot = X1 Threshing percentage = X2 Then, yield per hectare for each farmer = (X1 * X2* 100) (Since the triangular sub-plot is 0.01ha, it implies that multiplying the yield from the 0.01ha subplot by 100, gives the yield per hectare for each respondent).

3.6

Data Collection: The data collection exercise was undertaken from 18th – 30th December 2017 using the structured questionnaire designed specifically for the survey to extract the information from both the lead farmers' and owners of demonstration plots. The data collection process in each zone was implemented by the Zonal M&E Officers with the assistance of the Zonal Agri-business and Outreach Officers. The leadership and supervision of the entire survey was provided by the Resource Persons (namely, Christopher Okonjo, Okorie Agwu, Wada Thomas and Peter Olorunfemi) who were each assigned to a Zone. It should be noted that the period of data collection for this survey was not timely enough to capture most of the rice and sorghum harvests.

3.7

Data Processing, Analysis and Reporting: Computer entry of the field data was made and the data validated before proceeding with the analysis. In the analysis, the minimum, maximum, mean and median yield statistics were generated and compiled across the LGAs, States and Zones. The results of the analysis are presented below with details of the statics in Annex A, the database of the respondents in Annex B, and the survey questionnaires (Annex C).

RESULTS AND FINDINGS: Socio-economic Characteristics of Respondents: Demographic information collected on the respondents include gender, age, household size, farm size and experience in crop farming.

4.1.1 Gender: The gender of an individual influences the physical and production abilities. Gender is equally believed to affect one's sphere of influence and social standing in some cultures. Gender disaggregation of the respondents studied is presented in Table 4.1, where it is observed that all but one of the respondents surveyed across the Zones were male; the only female respondent in the survey was in Anambra State (Adani-Omor Zone).

4.1.2 Age of Respondents: The number of years an individual has attained in life is believed to be a strong factor influencing the production capacity of an individual. Age affects physical ability and mental effort of a person. Age is a major determinant of one's first enrolment into school. It also plays a role in one's marital status, and hence, household size, especially in some cultures. The survey result indicates that the respondents have a mean age of 40.5 years. Kano-Jigawa Zone have the eldest respondents (average of 43.7 years) while BidaBadeggi Zone has the youngest beneficiaries (average of 38.5 years) as shown in Table 4.2. The range of average age of the respondents in the survey is an indication that the ATASP-1 programme targeted the youthful beneficiaries, and, this is a right step to the Federal Government's drive to engage more young Nigerians in the agricultural sector.

4.1.3 Household Size of Respondents: Household size refers to the number of persons living under the control of a household head. The size of a household may directly affect the farming disposition and strength of the household. In some agrarian communities, the more the number of persons in a household, the higher the production capacity of the household arising from increased land area cultivated, especially if the individuals have grown to the age of contributing to 9

labour in the farm. Table 4.3 reveals that the average household size in the survey is eleven (11) persons. Bida-Badeggi and Kebbi-Sokoto Zones have an average of 10 persons per household while Adani-Omor Zone has the fewest number (6 persons) per household. Table 4.3: State

4.1.4 Farm Size: Farm size is the total number of hectares a respondent cultivates to a crop per season. Larger households are believed to have and cultivate larger farm areas because they are able to mobilize family labour for their farming operations. Results from the yield survey show that respondents in Kebbi-Sokoto Zone cultivated an average of 1ha (largest land area across the zones) while those in Adani-Omor cultivated the least land area (0.3ha). These results support the assertion that there is a strong correlation between household size and farm size owned by households.

4.1.5 Experience in Crop Production: One's production skills and capacity at doing a particular job improves over time. Therefore, the practices and output of farmers are expected to change for the better with more years of being in the business. The number of years a farmer has practiced would influence him in making decisions regarding adoption or otherwise of technologies and skills. Over time, a farmer identifies potential risks to his farming business and makes up his mind on the production practices to apply on a continuous basis. Generally, farmers 10

with more experience are expected to do better (in terms of decision making, technology adoption and higher yield) than those with fewer years of farming experience. Finding from the survey shows that the most experienced crop farmers (22 years) are in KanoJigawa Zone while Adani-Omor Zone has the least experienced crop farmers (11.4years), closely followed by Bida-Badeggi (13.3 years). It would be recalled that Bida-Badeggi and Adani-Omor Zones have the youngest set of respondents in the survey. This affirms the claim that age has strong relationship with farming experience.

4.1.6: Educational Attainment: Education is considered relevant in modern day agriculture. Education broadens one's horizon of reasoning and exposes one to trending global issues. Level of educational attainment may ease the farmers understanding of latest technologies and their applications. Enlightened farmers may readily accept the risk of trying out new technologies as opposed to the very traditional ones. Farm management practices of a farmer who has attained high educational standing may be better than that of a farmer with a lower level of education. Results of the yield survey in Table 4.6 indicate that 50% of the respondents attained at least a secondary education. This also relates well with the youthful age (40.5 years) of the respondents. Table 4.6:

Sorghum Yield: Sorghum data was collected from six respondents (3 lead farm and 3 demo) in KanoJigawa zone; ten respondents (5 lead farm and 5 demo) in Kebbi-Sokoto; five (2 lead farm and 3 demo) in Bida-Badegi and three respondents (3 demo) were in Adani-Omor SCPZs (Annex A). Table 4.8 shows that average yield of sorghum as obtained from the study is 1.02mt/ha for both lead farmers and demonstration plots. The median yield values are 0.99mt/ha and 1.0mt/ha for lead farmers and demonstration plots. Minimum and maximum yield values obtained for sorghum are 0.18mt/ha and 1.7mt/ha (for lead farmers) and 0.38mt/ha and 2.4 mt/ha (for demonstration plots). Zonal results show that Kebbi-Sokoto has the highest average yield of 1.1mt/ha and 1.4mt/ha for lead farmers and demonstration plots, respectively; while the lowest average yields of 0.82mt/ha (for lead farmers) and 0.43mt/ha (for demonstration plots) are reported in Kano-Jigawa and Adani-Omor Zones, respectively. 12

It is worthy to note that as at the time of the survey, sorghum production was still at the varietal trial stage in Adani-Omor Zone. Table 4.8: Yield Variable

Cassava Yield: Cassava data was collected in Kano-Jigawa Zone from only one (1 demo) respondent; none in Kebbi-Sokoto; three (2 lead farm and 1 demo) in Bida-Badegi and five (3 lead farm and 2 demo) respondents in Adani-Omor SCPZs (Annex A). Table 4.9 shows that average yield of cassava obtained from the study is 22.7mt/ha and 33.7mt/ha for lead farmers and demonstration plots, respectively, with median yield values of 25.1mt/ha and 32.3mt/ha for lead farmers and demonstration plots. Minimum and maximum yield values obtained for the crop are 8.8mt/ha and 35.2mt/ha (for lead farmers) and 25.8mt/ha and 44.4mt/ha (for demonstration plots). Comparing the zonal results, Adani-Omor has the highest average yield of 28.7mt/ha for lead farmers and 44.4mt/ha for demonstration farmers in Bida-Badeggi, respectively; while the lowest average yields of 15.3mt/ha (for lead farmers) and 25.8mt/ha (for demonstration plots) are reported in Kano-Jigawa Zone. There was no producer or demonstration farmer for cassava surveyed in Kebbi-Sokoto Zone.

CONCLUSIONS The rapid yield survey was successful as it has been able to determine the empirical average yield values for the crops promoted by ATASP-1 across the SCPZs. However, the survey was fraught with some challenges including late commencement, considering the timing of harvest of the crops and shortness of the timeline within which the survey had to be conducted, hence the survey was a rapid one.

6.0

RECOMMENDATIONS In view of the findings above, the following recommendations are made for improvement in the subsequent yield surveys that would be conducted by ATASP-1: a)

The survey should be properly timed to target the harvest period of each of the crops promoted by the programme.

Adequate time should be allotted by the ATASP-1 for the conduct of the survey to allow for wider coverage of the beneficiaries.

It may be necessary to build the capacity of the field personnel in ATASP-1 Zonal Offices on the yield survey process.

The scope and sample size of the survey should be enlarged to accommodate other categories of beneficiaries apart from the lead farmers and demonstration plot owners.

ATASP-1 should make the yield survey equipment available on time in all the Zonal Offices to avoid loss of time in conducting the survey.

Adequate logistic arrangement should be put in place in subsequent yield surveys with the Zonal Coordinators properly briefed on their roles and responsibilities in mobilizing the survey team within the Zone while the exercise lasts.
