The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) has once again reaffirmed its leadership role in sustainable agriculture under the transformative leadership of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Babatunde Kehinde, as the Directorate of University Farms (DUFARMS) on September 10, 2025, commenced another round of massive sales of freshly harvested yams and other farm produce at AGROMART.
Prof. Kehinde, therefore, assured the public of fairness in pricing, stressing the unmatched high quality and nutritional value of the produce. He highlighted other successful outputs from DUFARMS, including groundnuts, vegetables, eggs, frozen chicken, and other food items, further underlining the University’s capacity to provide food security solutions.
Earlier, the Ag. Director of DUFARMS, Dr. Emmanuel Bankole, commended the Vice-Chancellor and the University Management for creating an enabling environment that has sustained the Farm’s productivity. He revealed that DUFARMS currently boasts over 10,000 tubers of white yams and 5,000 tubers of water yams, in addition to eggs, garri, groundnut, sweet potatoes, and other produce.
According to him, DUFARMS’ product diversification has reinforced FUNAAB’s position as a model institution in sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring affordability, accessibility, and quality for both the University Community and the wider public.
With sales expected to continue while stocks last, DUFARMS’ latest initiative has further positioned FUNAAB as a national leader in agricultural revitalisation, food production, and community impact.
