Kwara State Government has canvassed for more investors into the state, especially those who would make the state an agro-industrial hub of Nigeria. Nigeria KwaraState AgricInvestors
Deputy Governor of the state, Mr. Kayode Alabi, who made the appeal during his inspection visit to Versa Farm, mechanised tomatoes and pepper farm at Oke-Iya Ipo, Ifelodun Local Council, said the geographical location of Kwara as a gateway between the North and the South, coupled with its large expanse of arable land, makes the state the dream of any agro-allied investors.
Alabi praised the farm owners for their vision, to have chosen the part of agriculture for a living, advising other Nigerian youths to shun paid employment for agriculture. “This is one of the gaps we want to fill by embarking on the massive growth of both hybrid tomatoes and pepper for the local consumption of Nigerians. Currently, we harvest about 14 tonnes of tomatoes and 10 tonnes of peppers every week.
