Agriculturist seeks incentives for investors in agric sector

Date: 2016-10-31

The General Manager, Shonga Farms Holdings Limited, Mr Adebayo Sangobiyi, has appealed to the federal government to create more incentives for investors in the agricultural sector.

Sangobiyi, who made the appeal while speaking with newsmen in Ilorin at the weekend, also urged the state and local governments to encourage more youths to embrace agriculture.

He said through proper supervision by government officials, quality materials would reach farmers and prospective farmers. "It is unfortunate that the agricultural sector is yet to be properly developed to improve the nation's economy," he said.

On the ownership of Shonga Farms, the Shonga farms boss clarified that only 25 per cent of the holdings belong to the Kwara Government.

He explained that the remaining 75 per cent belongs to five banks with each of them having 15 percent holdings in the farm. Sangobiyi noted that the establishment of the farms is segmented into dairy, poultry and mix-cropping units.

He added that they were collaborating with different organisations in selling produce from the farm across the state.

According to him, the farm is supporting many farmers with necessary equipment, seedlings, fertiliser and provide the market to sell their produce.

Sangobiyi also called on the Federal Government to step up campaign on its 'Green Alternative' in promoting agriculture in the country.
