Description
Investors have the opportunity to capitalise on the current high demand for staple foods by investing in the cultivation and processing of maize in Kwara State, situated in central Nigeria.
Investment Opportunity
Although the majority of Kwara State's population is involved in agricultural activities, these are mostly on a very small scale. The state government is actively promoting commercial farming initiatives to stimulate the local economy.
Nigeria is a net importer of agricultural commodities and any investment in the cultivation and processing of maize will surely realise good returns.
Incentives
The Kwara State Government is offering a number of incentives to investment in agriculture and agri-processing. Some of these include easy access to land, loans, tax breaks, and essential infrastructure such as water, electricity and access roads.
For more information on this and other opportunities in Kwara State's agriculture sector, please contact Mr Fela Ibidapo, Senior Special Advisor on Investment at felaibidapo@kwarastate.gov.ng
