The Kwara State Government is looking for investors to start with the manufacturing of fertiliser in the state.

The current administration is placing a great emphasis on agricultural development to stimulate the economy. Kwara State has vast areas of arable land where a large variety of crops can be grown. The focus is especially on cassava, maize, rice, cow pea, soya beans and groundnut.

As the agriculture sector of Kwara State is growing by the day there is a high demand for fertiliser. All the fertiliser used in the state is currently being imported.

Market

The majority of Kwara State's 2.5 million population is dependant on agricultural activities for their livelihood. An immediate market for fertiliser therefore exists although there is also a high demand for fertiliser in the rest of Nigeria.

To accommodate poorer farmers, the flexible investor can make arrangements so that these farmers can pay with their produce or in cash after they've harvested their crops.

Incentives to investors

The Kwara State Government is willing to facilitate easy access to land for any serious investors looking to do business in the state. The administration will also assist investors with infrastructure such as roads, electricity, water, etc.
