The Institute has great technologies on cassava, maize, and soybean that will help farmers and IITA would love to partner with NIRSAL to better agriculture in Oyo State as we have same aim of delivering technologies,\u201d Dashiell said.\n\nDashiell advised the team to visit the IITA facilities including factories producing products to get an idea on what NIRSAL and IITA can work on together. The team visited the Aflasafe and Nodumax production facilities,\u00a0Jeunes agripreneurs de l'IITA<\/a><\/u>\u00a0(IYA), and Semi-Autotrophic Hydroponic (SAH) lab for yam.\n\nAt the Youth Agripreneur building, Business Development Officer Idowu Osun explained that IYA focuses on technical and entrepreneurial skill development, supporting youth with start-up loans for their own businesses to become employers of labor in agribusiness. He noted that IITA is working on the\u00a0Technologies pour la transformation de l'agriculture en Afrique<\/a><\/u>\u00a0(TAAT) program funded by the\u00a0Banque africaine de d\u00e9veloppement<\/a><\/u>\u00a0(AfDB), which also has a youth component, ENABLE-TAAT. \u201cIITA Youth Agripreneurs would love to work with NIRSAL to get more funds for beneficiaries,\u201d he added.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
