Dis Guy:

Employments, Very cheap food prices and a quiet industrialization of the state with the oncoming of food processing plants
generally results of agricultural projects are very long term, one of the main reason governors/businessmen in nigeria dont go into it
they want money now now!!!

Harzan:

@ Harzan: What you fail to understand is that cheap food prices, is one of the later benefits of a project such as Shonga Farms. This is a commercial agricultural project, meaning that for the purposes of marketing, it will initially be targeted at outfits that require extremely large quantities of the produce, most usually outfits that will add value to these products before taking them to market.

Agriculture is a long-term business as someone earlier said. If you are looking for the immediate benefits, then look at the transformation of the surrounding community in terms of infrastructure - roads, electricity, telecommunications, employment, knowledge transfer. Also look at the amount that is coming to the state coffers in terms of taxation. VAT alone is 5%. This means on a 10million naira transaction VAT will be N500,000. Kwara State posted 1billion IGR in the first quarter of this year - where do you think the money is coming from? You may say 1billion IGR is small,  but as far back as 2005, we could not even make up to N3billion in an entire year. I know that in Shonga people used to travel to other villages to be able to make phone calls - they no longer have to do so, farm workers are sourced from the local community, Shonga is now being connected to the power injection substation constructed there. The whole project has changed the economy of Shonga tremendously.

If you are looking at projects, which deliver products to the local market presently, you should be looking at something like Duku Lade rice project, which produces the rice popularly called "rice Bukky", which is sold locally.

naijacutee:

This is a welcome development, as the expectation is that anything reducing our dependence on imported food in Nigeria will ultimately lead to cheaper food on the average Nigerians table (And more money in the pocket). This is an area I'm very interested in, and which I have spent a lot of time thinking about. Obviously things are improving all over the country, and Governor Saraki is obviously positioning Kwara State to be the potential food basket of the nation. I respect his foresight. However, I have one small observation with regards to the feasibility of the dairy production business structure. If the plant is producing UHT milk, how valuable would this be to the average Nigerian (compared with dried milk), seeing that electricity in our country is erractic at its best? Will the average Nigerian be appreciate UHT (as it is not fresh) milk over dried milk? What are your views? In this thread (https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-209096.0.html) most people voted Peak milk as their choice over Cowbell. Where do people think UHT liquid milk (of whatever brand) will stand in this picture?

Dis Guy:


Fresh milk is mainly targeted as Industry- food processing companies, hotels and ice-cream/yoghurt making companies and fresh milk is used for WARA 

Harzan: @Dis guy, Akanbi-edu + kola yusuf:
OK, i cant shout!!!

Ans this pls:
The Shonga farm of a thing is owned by who?
Kwara state Govt or d Sarakites.
