Investors have the opportunity to construct and operate fruit processing facilities in Sokoto State, situated in north-west Nigeria.

Investment Opportunity

A number of fruits are grown and suitable for cultivation in Sokoto State. These include tomatoes, mango, pap-paw and various citrus fruits.

Investors have the opportunity to invest in fruit processing activities, including fruit canning and fruit juice production.

Although the necessary facilities can be constructed all across the state, the Sokoto metro axis will probably be the most viable because of the market potential and the availability of raw materials.

Incentives

The Sokoto State Government is offering the following incentives to serious investors: 

  • Guarantee of loans by the state government
  • Tax concessions
  • Consultancy and investment management advisory services

    The federal government is also offering a number of incentives for investment in agriculture and agro-processing.

    Investors interested in this opportunity should contact Dr Buhari Bello Kware of the Sokoto State Investment Promotion Committee at invest.showcase.comm.sokoto@live.com
