*Ekiti State Tackles Tomato and Pepper Scarcity with Innovative Partnership* Ekiti State has launched a groundbreaking initiative to address the recurring scarcity of tomatoes and peppers between April and June every year. The state government has partnered with East West Seeds Ltd to provide high-quality seeds of tomatoes (Platinum 701 F1), peppers (Piquante Red F1), and cucumbers (Daewy F1) to local farmers. *Key Beneficiaries:* - _Youth Farmers:_ Those operating at Erinfun will be the first to benefit from the initiative. - _Farm Clusters:_ Several farm clusters with access to water will also receive support. - _PostAgvest Farmers:_ Farmers under PostAgvest in Erio Ekiti and Awo Ekiti will be included in the program. - _Independent Farmers:_ Standalone farmers interested in participating will also receive support. East West Seeds Ltd and PostAgvest will provide training to farmers on raising healthy seedlings, which will be distributed to the farmers. The partners have also committed to offering on-field support, training, and coaching to ensure the success of the farmers. Ilu Eye Agro Trading and Aggregation company will facilitate market access for the farmers, ensuring that consumers in Ekiti State benefit from the government's support and investment.
