Cabbage farmers in the northern and central parts of Plateau have said the cultivation of cabbage has been very favourable because of the well-drained sandy loam soil and the climate of the areas.
Plateau State is the home of exotic vegetables, including cabbage, and stakeholders said due to the cool weather condition, the state produces the crop in commercial quantities, with tonnes being transported to the southern parts of the country.
The stakeholders added that the production of the crop and its demand in the country should provide the farmers in Plateau and other areas the crop is cultivated, a reasonable income.
However, there are challenges the cabbage farmers say are obstacles to the cultivation of the crop in the state. The most challenging include lack of capital, fertiliser and insects repellants they said.
