Ilorin, Kwara State | Livestock farmers and other value-chain actors in Kwara State recently participated in a four-day training on Digital Communication Tools for Enhanced Livestock Production and Market Access, organised under the Kwara State Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support (L-PRES) Project.

The training was facilitated by Four Icons Premium Limited as part of its continued support for practical capacity development and the effective use of communication tools across the livestock value chain, and focused on practical ways of using smartphones and digital platforms to support livestock production, business development and market access.
