Seeking Help: How to Register Smallholder Cassava Farmers in Ogun

[admin]

Hello everyone,

I’m Lekan from Ogun State, supporting a local cooperative of ~30 smallholder cassava farmers. We’d like to register them on the Farmer Database to improve traceability and access extension services — but we’re unsure how to start.
