3.0 Project activities.
We targeted smallholder farmers at the Base of the Pyramid (BOP) who are mostly women and youths in order to help contain the impacts caused by COVID-19. Following this, we considered smallholder farmers in Delta and Enugu state because of our distribution channel. We also lunched some part of our logistics department so as to facilitate the distribution of our products.
3.1 Activity 1 – Training of Palm oil smallholder farmers in Agbor, Delta State, Nigeria.
Palm oil is one of the cash crops that Nigeria women deal on in other to earn source of livelihood. Palm oil is one of the products every household in Nigeria uses and this is the reason we targeted the palm oil farmers. We target palm oil smallholder farmers in BOP at Agbor, Delta state Nigeria as the state is one of our pivot distribution state. As could be seen in Figure 3.1, we trained about 50 smallholder palm oil farmers.

Following our strategy of BOP mapping, smallholder farmers in Warri, Delta state, Nigeria who are into seafood like crayfish, stock fish, fresh fish, etc were targeted. These farmers are all women and their products are used in all the households in Nigeria. We trained them on how to use our platform and food safety.

3.4: Activity 4 – Buying of second hand minibus
As a crucial part of our project, we purchased a second hand mini bus as shown in Figure 3.4 for the development of some part of our logistics department. The idea is to facilitate the distribution of our product and assist the smallholder farmers in carrying their products to our warehouse. This will really help in containing the effect of Covid-19.
