In a bid to contribute its quota to food sustainability in the country, total telecommunications service provider, Globacom, has launched M-Agric, an agricultural support service that guides users through practical, step-by-step processes of managing successful farming businesses across livestock, aquaculture, cash crops and value additions.

A statement from the company described MAgric as a lottery service which gives practical tips aimed at helping users grow their own food and earn extra income from exploiting the full potential in the agricultural sector.

It offers users the opportunity to receive daily, weekly or monthly messages on agricultural tips on their mobile devices and to answer trivia questions on the service to win fantastic cash prizes, farm equipment and internship opportunities, Globacom explained.

Subscription to the service is charged at NGN 50/daily, NGN 200/Weekly and NGN 500/Monthly. This service has a free trial for 24 hours for new and existing prepaid and postpaid subscribers.

A draw is done on the last day of every week during which participants who have subscribed and correctly answered the trivia questions will be eligible for the draw.
