The Nasarawa State Human Capital Development Agency (NSHCDA) is pleased to share a progress update from the ongoing Garden Farming for Women Initiative, as participants begin to record visible results from their home garden activities.

In several demonstration and participant-managed gardens, cucumber plants have grown to full maturity and are now being harvested in significant sizes, marking an encouraging milestone in the programme. Other vegetables cultivated under the initiative are also thriving, with fresh, green, and healthy crops showing strong growth and excellent yield potential.

This development reflects the effectiveness of the practical training provided, particularly in areas such as soil preparation, seed selection, proper planting techniques, and garden management practices. The beneficiaries are already applying these skills, resulting in productive and healthy gardens within a short period.

The harvest experience has further strengthened participants’ confidence and demonstrated the real-life impact of home gardening in improving household nutrition, food availability, and potential income generation.

Nasarawa State has recorded another major stride in its fisheries revitalization efforts as fish harvest activities commence at Doma Dam, with produce being sold directly to marketers.

The harvest, which began on 31st March 2026 and is scheduled to run for ten (10) days, builds on earlier successes and marks a strategic shift from pond-based production to the large-scale utilization of natural water bodies. The fishes, now at market-ready sizes, have attracted strong demand, with marketers present on-site to ensure immediate purchase and distribution.

This direct off-take model continues to minimize post-harvest losses while delivering prompt financial returns to farmers and cooperatives. It also strengthens market confidence by creating a reliable system where producers are assured of buyers and marketers have consistent access to quality, locally sourced fish.

The intervention, driven by the Nasarawa State Human Capital Development Agency (NSHCDA), is part of a broader effort to improve productivity, strengthen value chain linkages, and unlock the economic potential within the fisheries sector. By leveraging the natural capacity of Doma Dam, the state is scaling production while promoting a more efficient and sustainable use of its water resources.

The ongoing exercise underscores the value of coordinated stakeholder engagement, improved technical practices, and structured market systems in delivering tangible outcomes. It reflects a transition towards a more organized and commercially viable fisheries sector where production directly translates into income and economic activity.

As the harvest progresses, this milestone further reinforces the impact of sustained investment and strategic planning in positioning the fisheries sector as a key driver of livelihoods, food supply, and economic growth in Nasarawa State.
