Who we are

The Kano State Agricultural and Rural Development Authority (KNARDA)

The Kano State Agricultural and Rural Development Authority (KNARDA) was established as an Agricultural Development Project (ADP) following the observed success of the World Bank Financed Enclave Agricultural Development Projects (ADPs) at Gombe, Funtua and Gusau in 1975. The KNARDA started as Kano State Agricultural Project (KNAP) in 1977 following a request by the State government to the Federal Department of Rural Development (FDRD) to provide the state with a more coordinated approach to its rural development efforts. The Kano State Integrated Rural Development Project (KSIRDP) was subsequently prepared by the then Agricultural Projects Monitoring, Evaluation and Planning Unit (APMEPU) of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture. Subsequently, an Agricultural Development Project (ADP) was created together along with the Kano State Agricultural Supply Company (KASCO) as its commercial subsidiary to improve the supply of agricultural inputs for technology adoption.
