Det satses mye på å plante Neemtrær i Nigeria. Særlig i de nordlige og tørre områdene. Dett gjøres bl.a. i samarbeid med Green Planet. Commercialisation of the Neem Processing Project One of the major achievements made during the year under review was the successful production of a highly effective bio-insecticide from neem seed. The neem tree is a tropical evergreen plant which grows well all over the country but particularly adaptive to the arid and semi-arid zones of most northern states. Every part of the neem plant, root, bark, stem, leaf and seed, has an industrial application particularly for pharmaceuticals and bio-insecticides. In view of the industrial potential of the plant and the fact that it grows well in Nigeria, the National Research Institute for Chemical Technology (NARICT), Zaria, and the Forest Research Institute of Nigeria (FRIN), Ibadan, have successfully conducted research into the use of the plant in line with literature reports from other countries. Following the positive results, the research institutes went ahead to establish pilot commercialization programmes of neem products processing.he economic potentials of neem was brought to the attention of Mr. President by the chairman of the National Tree Nursery Development Programme (NTNDP) and the chairman of the P.D.P., who visited NARICT some few weeks earlier. Mr. President then on 20th April, 2004 chaired stakeholders meeting on transformation of neem waste to wealth. At that meeting, a Presidential Implementation Committee, was set up to develop strategies for the production and processing of neem into pesticides, fertilizers and oils for soap making. The commercialisation programme includes: establishment of neem plantations capable of accommodating three million trees within the next three years; and establishment of four neem processing factories in Borno, Zamfara, Katsina and Kebbi States; each of which should have annual capacity to produce 40,000 tons of fertilizer and 500,000 litres of pesticide. The Programme is being executed in collaboration with the Green Planet Ltd. (a British firm with over 13 years experience in Nigeria) and some State Governments. My Ministry chairs the Technical Sub-committee on the project. Feasibility studies for these projects are being produced. Les hele artikkelen her.
