VECHI AND ORGANIC PRODUCTS
From a very humble beginning of encouraging and supporting indigent farmers, VECHI pitched its tent as local, rural, natural because the company sources farmers and cultivators of Organic products.
These are products '' grown under a system of agriculture without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides with an environmentally and socially responsible approach.'' It is healthy to ensure that we stay top of mind in the consumption needs of our customers. We simply source for farmers like us from the South Western and North Central parts of Nigeria. We connect directly so we are sure.
It's not particularly easy and not financially rewarding for farmers because not too many are aware of the difference between fresh farm and organic farm products. Farmers at grass-root levels look towards pushing their goods to the cities. Vechi has therefore positioned itself to be the vehicle to convey this organic message and its products. We want posterity to remember us as one of the many others who support grass root level preservation, the reproductive and regenerative capacity of the soil, good plant nutrition, and sound soil management.
Production of nutritious food rich in vitality which has resistance to diseases is what we all must propagate. As Africans for instance, the inherited tradition of organic farming is an added advantage. I have a nostalgic attachment to the visits to my parents cassava farmers, the yam barns, the Ugu pumpkin vegetable farms and the gardens right behind my late mothers kitchen where we easily took Okro, pepper, green leafs, oha and more to make meals with tastes out of the world. The eggs laid by our fowls, the chicken and goat meat made us truly well nourished.
With so much confusions on Pesticides and Fertilizers, there is a very thin divide of confusion between what is unhealthily grown and what is infused and injected by insensitive farmers and captains of the Agricultural sub-sector. Poverty, lack of education, lack of respect to a healthy lifestyle has opened the world to mortality and many killer diseases.
Given the opportunity, VECHI is willing to support any Government implementing a National Program for Organic Production. We have developed a healthy relationship with rural and indigent farmers. We have through this boosted their social and economic confidence.
We have created 6 strong online platforms that project the true essence of organic products. We have organized fairs and assembled a convergence of other fresh farm products sellers and farmers at various times in the city of Lagos Nigeria.
What is the presentation of Organic Products?
1. Easily Goes Bad. Compared to non-organic food, organic produce has the possibility of going off a lot quicker.
2.More Expensive because they are not mass produced
3.Lack of chemicals or worst case Minimal Chemicals Allowed.
4.Taste better, safer and more nutritional to consume
5.No Pesticide Contamination
A lot of people choose organic food because they think it tastes better compared to non-organic but the reality is that it will be a lot better for the environment and for the animals. The fear however is how to ensure a global world with food sufficiency.
At Vechi, we simply but proudly endorse Organic products.
