dc.descriptionThe Third Annual Report of the Eastern Regional Production Development Board (1951-52, Part I) provides a comprehensive official account of the board's operations, financial allocation, and developmental policies covering the period from April 1, 1951, to March 31, 1952. Operating under statutory requirements, the board aims to advance economic prosperity across the Eastern Region of Nigeria by deploying trust funds generated from marketing boards. The report outlines a strategic multi-pronged approach to economic expansion: modernizing and expanding the main oil palm industry through Pioneer Oil Mills and plantations; introducing alternative cash crops like cashew, coffee, coconut, and rubber to diversify the regional economy; and boosting agricultural yield and food production via cattle ranching, localized fertilizer distribution, livestock feeds, and rice milling.
