Agricultural Investment potential in the SADA zone
THE POTENTIAL FOR AGRICULTURAL MODERNISATION IN THE NORTHERN SAVANNAH ECOLOGICAL ZONE (THE SADA ZONE) For SABIF 2015 AGRICULTURAL POTENTIALS IN THE NORTHERN SAVANNAH ECOLOGICAL ZONE (NSEZ) • The state of agriculture in the NSEZ is characterized by a number of factors including the availability of land; comparative advantage in the production of particular crops like all the cereals, legumes, vegetables and cash crops such as cashew, cotton, mangos and other native fruit trees; untapped potential for livestock production; and a developing trend towards commercialization. • Generally low population density and therefore has the potential to increase agricultural productivity through land expansion. • The agro-ecology, in general, supports a wide range of arable crops; and the flat or gently undulating nature of the land is suitable for mechanized farming. • Three main river systems and several tributaries that flow through the SADA zone with considerably large underground water potentials suitable for irrigation investment in various growth poles identified in the zone. • The SADA zone has a wealth of under-utilized well endowed land to support an intensified agriculture modernization program. Especially the lowlands and inland valleys that are under exploited. • The arable land potential is approximately 6.1 million hectares suitable for the cultivation of cereals, legumes, tubers, cash crops such as cotton, cashew, mangoes etc. Out of that only 1.5 million hectares are cultivated contributing. • It is the home to the shea tree. An industry which is largely untapped but has huge potentials in the oil industry and a big catalyst to rural poverty alleviation. • It is also home to Boabab tree – the tree where every bit is useful – iron rich leaves, flour for delicious juice, seeds for animal feed and oil, the trunk for all-year round bee keeping. • The zone has huge potential for the development of the livestock industry due to its topology, vegetation and other climatic factors. This sector is hugely undeveloped with lots of opportunities • Some of the agricultural growth poles include a network of river basins with highly fertile valleys of the Volta and Sissili rivers, the Fumbisi valley, Nasia, Tamne, Katanga, Naboggu, and Soo valleys have a combined land span of approximately 100 – 120 thousand hectares suitable for both rain fed and irrigated rice cultivation. These areas can become major agricultural production zones for different crops as shown on the maps below.
