Our production and marketing operations are making positive impacts on Nigeria’s agricultural sector in many ways. Some of our members have made this possible through substantial investments in the development of high yield hybrids and innovative farming methods. These enable the reliable supplies of some of the needed raw materials for production. One of the local grains that has received the attention and patronage of some companies is sorghum. We have achieved some level of success in this area.

Today, through the efforts of the BSG members to sustain the sorghum cultivation and supply development effort, thousands of farmers have benefited immensely from the programme. Besides, BSG companies help in poverty alleviation among farmers by boosting the quality of seeds sown and the quantity of yield per hectare of land. In addition, the backward integration efforts of the companies have succeeded in increasing demand for sorghum with the attendant multiplier effects. This has made our industry stand out as a corporate leader in investing in agriculture.
