The National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) has said it will be sending 200 young farmers training on crop production and animal husbandry in Israel and Morocco.

It said the aim was to make agriculture more attractive to youths as the training would expose and equip them on modern agriculture and agribusiness, which will lead to massive food production  and exportation.

Speaking during the handing over of travel documents to the beneficiaries in Abuja, the Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, NALDA, Prince Paul Ikonne, said it was a continuation of the National Young Farmers Scheme (NYFS) programme kicked off by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Ikonne said the training was a directive from Buhari to ensure that youths were involved in food production.
