Plateau State could simply be tagged the home of Irish potatoes because of the chilled and favourable weather condition that favours the cultivation of the root crop. No wonder Irish potatoes are grown in commercial quantities in Mangu, and Bokkos Local Government Areas of the state. These two area councils of Plateau state alone can feed the entire country and beyond with Irish Potatoes cultivated in commercial quantity from the area.

To be logical we honestly do not know without stating the size of this one. By the way is Dangote's farm "Mechanized"?

20,000hectares is 300,000 plots. Such large farms are mechanized.

visit it to do the same thing he did in that Kenyan Farm

pls don't be like your moniker..


The President visited a Dairy Farm in Kenya. something that is still very scare in Nigeria. Infact only one farm in jos come to mind when I hear dairy farming in Nigeria.

You are here talking about a potato farm that already is here. Nigerians are already farming potatoes in large quantity before now.

Please don't let a Mad Cow be more intelligent than you.

The president is trying to attract investment into the country not to go and snap pictures with business owners who are already here.

Maybe Maybe not I do not know There is no law that they have to be .

Depends on how you define "mechanized"

Anyway we do not know yet the size of this farm here so we cannot say which is bigger assuming Dangote's is mechanized.

Has Dangote's farm actually started operation or was it a the planning stage?

Hmmmm...... good development.... a foreign company is given land concessions to do large scale farming of a foreign crop in our country and we are sooo proud.... proud to be run off of our own land thanks to our state and FG. Let's now try to get land concessions in Germany or India or US to plant cassava.
