Dear Mr Emiola, I appreciate what to you are doing. It is definitely the way to grow the industry. Market information is very key to the growth of any business sector.
I am wondering if it possible to have an online platform like this for all farmers in Ibadan to meet and discusss market information like price, production input and new discoveries. It may not be free!
I have read so much about you and I believe you can do this for the benefit of all fish farmers in the state.
