Description

The Kwara State Government is offering investors the opportunity to provide irrigation facilities to the growing number of farmers 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.

Investment Opportunity

The lack of sufficient irrigation facilities in Kwara State is a major hindrance to the growth of the agriculture sector.

Investment in irrigation will have the following structure:

  • The investor will have to provide the irrigation facilities.
  • Farmers who benefit from the irrigation will have to pay the investor a certain amount for using the service.
  • The investor will have to make sure the facilities are properly maintained.

    By following this structure the investor will be assured of a continuous income over time.

    The Kwara State Government will also assist any investor to make sure his or her project is a success.

    Market

    The majority of Kwara State's 2.5 million population is dependant on agricultural activities for their livelihood. An immediate market for irrigation facilities therefore exists.

    Investors interested in this opportunity should contact:
