\u201cThe absence of insurance products for small farmers is costing the agriculture sector over N20 billion annually.

As such, insurance companies need to deal with poultry associations, rice farmers associations and so on, so that agricultural produce can be enhanced,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Chairman, SME Trade Group, Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Mr. Biodun Oladapo, said that \u201cthe livestock business is still stunted in Nigeria because over the years there has not been insurance support\u201d to give it a boost.<\/p>\n
