Shonga Farms, Kwara State,
         Nigeria
 An ‘experiment’ in large-scale
  commercial farming under
      Nigerian conditions
Events
• Fact-finding visit 2004
• M o U agreed
• 2005 arrival of 13 farmers
• 13,000 ha leased on 1,000 ha long leases
• 4,656 ha set aside for compensation and
  youth farms
• 1,990 claimants for compensation
• Cash, bicycles, inputs
Government obligations

•   Pioneer financial status
•   Clearance of woodland
•   Provision of electricity
•   Repairs to road and new field roads
•   Direct access to the State Governor
Enterprises
•   Poultry – broiler chickens (4 farms)
•   Cattle - dairying
•   Cassava - fufu
•   Sorghum – feed
•   Cowpeas – market and feed
•   Maize – feed
•   Rice – by irrigation for market
Youth
• Rural-urban migration, labour
  shortage, fields abandoned
• ‘Back to the land’ but most absconded
• ‘Youth empowerment’ but credit barriers
• Community model commercial farms
• But no uptake of Shonga land (1,200 ha)
• Shonga and Matete farm
  schools, informal learning incl cattle
Policy dilemma
1. Replication of the large-scale
   commercial model
2. Training,empowerment of youth
3. Smallholder incentives, e.g. fertilizer
BUT
1. Employment on the Shonga farms
   (<3,000), plus local service providers
2. Autonomous markets
