Connecting farms to markets: Odogbolu agrarian stakeholders back Daddah's food security blueprint
“Cassava farmers, poultry cooperatives, and grain traders in Odogbolu LGA deliberate on feeder road grading and solar-powered cold hubs to curtail post-harvest losses.”

Agricultural cooperative executives, poultry farmers, and commodity traders in Odogbolu Local Government converged for a strategic townhall on food security and rural feeder road infrastructure.

Speaking at the assembly, Hon. Rasak Oluwakemi Daddah shared practical insights from his tenure as Chairman of the Ogun State Market Development Board (2020–2023), where he spearheaded commercial infrastructure development and trader enumeration frameworks.

The candidate outlined specific legislative deliverables under Pillar Five of his agenda, including federal matching intervention for solar cold-storage facilities, farm-to-market road paving connecting rural farming hamlets, and direct cooperative access to subsidized inputs.

Local cooperative leaders unanimously commended the practical nature of the proposals, noting that addressing transport bottlenecks and post-harvest spoilage will directly multiply farmers' income.
