Calcium Carbonate (Lime) – 25kg for Farming

Calcium Carbonate, commonly called agricultural lime, is one of the most effective ways to correct acidic soils and help crops grow stronger. Many Nigerian soils are naturally acidic, and this limits how well plants use fertilizers. Applying lime restores the soil balance so your plants can absorb nutrients properly.

This product provides a steady supply of calcium, which supports root formation, improves soil structure, and boosts the availability of key nutrients. Whether you’re growing vegetables, grains, fruits, or legumes, regular liming makes a visible difference in yield and crop quality.

It works well for both small and large farms, and it’s especially helpful when dealing with stunted crops, poor fertilizer response, yellowing leaves, or low yields caused by acidic conditions.
