Anambra gets UK order for scent leaf export

AFTER successfully exporting Ugu vegetable to some European countries, which yielded about 5 million British pounds for the state, Anambra State government said, yesterday, that it had received another order from the United Kingdom for scent leaf, popularly called Nchuanwu.

To meet the demand for the export, 40 cooperative societies from the three senatorial zones of the state have been empowered to grow the vegetable to be able to meet the order in the next two months.

Representatives of the cooperative societies, who were tutored on the processes involved in the cultivation of the vegetable for two days in Awka, were given three water pumps each with suction and discharge facilities, special type of fertilizer and some quantities of the scent leaves.
