KNARDA-KSADP
The Kano state Agricultural and Rural Development Authority (KNARDA) was instituted to
fill the identified gap that affects agricultural production and productivity through
extension services delivery
KNARDA-KSADP Legumes crop intervention program aims at enhancing agricultural
production and productivity of legume crops production namely; groundnut, cowpea and
soybean through improving extension services delivery, capacity building, increased
access to inputs, agro processing, value addition and access to credit facilities.
The intervention program primarily focuses on supporting legumes crop production and
working in synergy with other relevant stakeholders such as IITA, ICRISAT and SAA.
