The Delta State Government has announced the launch of a verification and validation exercise for registered farmers, scheduled to take place from March 17 to March 28, 2025. This exercise aims to establish a credible database for future government interventions, ensuring that support and resources are channeled to genuine farmers.
The primary objective of this exercise is to create a reliable database of registered farmers in Delta State. This database will serve as a crucial tool for the government to plan and implement effective agricultural policies and programs. By capturing accurate details of farmers, including their National Identification Number, the government can ensure that support and resources are targeted at genuine farmers, thereby promoting agricultural development and food security.

Agricultural Field and Extension Officers will visit farms to capture details, providing an opportunity for farmers to receive guidance and support on best practices and new technologies. The exercise is also expected to help eliminate ghost farmers and ensure that government interventions are effective and efficient.
An additional registration phase will be scheduled later, providing an opportunity for farmers who missed the initial exercise to register and be included in the database. This exercise demonstrates the Delta State Government’s commitment to promoting agricultural development and supporting farmers in the state. By establishing a credible database, the government can ensure that resources are used efficiently and effectively, promoting the growth and development of the agricultural sector.
