CERCORD
The objective of CERCORD is to strengthen human and material capacity for agricultural development especially as relates to root crop production and processing. The Centre is focused on research, teaching, training and product development which targets innovative emerging areas of need, industrial manpower demand and basic skill acquisition. The proposed action plans to achieve these objectives are divided into three broad activities: capacity building, research activities and product development in collaboration with the industry and other stakeholders in root crop production and processing.
Working Together
We are dedicated to advancing the study and application of root crops, with a particular focus on improving food security, nutrition, and livelihoods in Nigeria.
