Ekiti Attracts $300m Investments In Agriculture. by phillippiano(m): 8:44am On Oct 19, 2013 |
The Ekiti State government has said it has attracted $300m investments in the agriculture sector in the last three years. A statement on Thursday said the State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, disclosed this while speaking at the 2013 World Food Day held in Ado Ekiti. According to the statement, the Governor added that the investments were from reputable indigenous and international agricultural institutions, including an agricultural company, which had partnered with the state government for the establishment of 2000 hectares of mechanised rice, soybean and cassava production. He said Dutch Agricultural Development and Trading Company was also working on the establishment of high quality cassava flour processing factory, while Vegefresh had taken over the moribund Orin cassava processing plant and has successfully upgraded the capacity of the plant from 10 tonnes to 60 tonnes per day production. Fayemi, who said the state government had inaugurated a credit facility worth N80m as well as tractors worth N100, explained that the tractors were targeted at farmers whose operations would impact the agriculture sector. The Governor, acknowledged the support of multilateral institutions including the World Bank, African Development Bank, the United Nations Development Programme, Department for International Development and Food and Agriculture Organisation for the various drives in the sector. He said a Youth Commercial Agriculture Development programme, created to boost agriculture in the state had empowered 250 youths to cultivate 1900 hectares of cassava, 53,000 cocoa seedlings, 109,560 oil palm seedlings, 60,000 fingerlings, 6,230 kg of fish and 60,000 broilers. “The ongoing construction of broiler processing facility at Erifun in Ado Ekiti which is first of its kind in the State will not only strengthen livestock value chain but also enhance the availability of hygienic and fresh chicken for the consumption of the citizenry,” he said. www.punchng.com/news/ekiti-attracts-300m-investment-in-agriculture-2/ 1 Like |

All theses smoke screen and bad labelling of the God plant should be stopped. If cannabis can be allowed to grow in Ekiti, so be it. Nothing heals better than it, calm better that it and right from the ages it has being such of healing and 5 pound of the seed was used in the making of first holy oil. And did online abt the conspiracy against the God given plant by the evil ppl of the world. 1 Like |

Value addition and products marketing should be worked on by the govt, join the agriculture community on www. and interact with farmers and agriculture professionals in the value chain. You can also market and promote your agric products and services free. |

Who made the statement? Mr Governor himself. Every governor is ready to praise his own government and effort. Honestly he attempted all he stated above but didn't work out. But stating that ekiti attracts $300 billion agriculture investment is what i'm shocked about because the agriculture scheme in ekiti can't attract up to that..not in the haters team,just telling the truth |
