Anambra state has started the exportation of pumpkin leaves (Ugu) and bitter leaves (Onugbu) to the United Kingdom (UK).
The first set of the exportation was on the 21st of January, 2016 after the Anambra State Ministry of Agriculture successfully assisted some rural farmers to export the first batch of their products.
The Anambra state government should be commended for venturing into exportation of vegetables and this spur other states as well as the federal government to realize that agriculture can be a major source revenue generation even as crude oil prices continue to nose-dive.
