Project Title: Monitoring & Evaluation of Seedling Performance Across Regions – Nigeria (2022–Ongoing)Client: Dessy Agro Customers (Smallholder & Commercial Farmers)
Locations: Across Nigeria – including Abia, Delta, Osun, Ogun, and more
Years: 2022 – Ongoing
Service Rendered: Seedling Monitoring, Customer Follow-Up & Performance Evaluation
Project Description:
Since 2022, Dessy Agro has implemented a monitoring system to track the performance of sprouted Tenera oil palm seedlings across different regions. We keep a customer database with farm location, planting date, seed quantity, and farm type.
Follow-ups are done monthly via phone calls, WhatsApp, and occasional visits. Farmers send photo and video updates to help us assess germination, growth progress, pest issues, and weather effects.
The system helps identify farms needing support while reinforcing our accountability. Through consistent engagement, we’ve maintained a seedling survival rate above 90%.
Outcome:
This initiative has built stronger farmer relationships, improved seedling performance, and established Dessy Agro as a dependable partner in successful oil palm farming.
