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.

See how Kayode kayemi have turned Ekiti youths to kaya men, no wonder Yorubas has the highest number of Mad people.

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.

Abi no be Ekiti wey I dey ni?. $300m how much is Ekiti worth self? All I know is that you aren't going to rule us twice. We need another fresh air

does it change d fact dt ekiti state is d highest exporter of marijuana

geeez:
Now we know what you've been smoking

Why is it that Ekiti men look and dress always like Papa Ajasco, they look totally different from other Yoruba group. Too Marijuana is not doing them good.

cashkid18: does it change d fact dt ekiti state is d highest exporter of marijuana

*looks at the post, checks out handler, sees cashkid18 and asks those around*

'As in a kid that is just 18 years or what? So this internet Ibo warriors are actually kids? I give up!'

*slams the door and leaves thread in anger*

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
