In her bid to scale up agricultural production and ensure food security, the Niger State Government is in partnership with Origin Group, a diversified agriculture value chain conglomerate, which is set to begin a specialized agro support program in Niger State using its proprietary themed support system —Total Agricultural Support Program (TASP) in partnership with Campo of Brazil.
The equipment the Niger State Government received includes:
500 large-capacity tractors,
500 Harvesters of varying capacities,
1,000 various agricultural and
Irrigation equipment and farm implements.
This initiative is expected to eradicate drudgery,
50% post-harvest losses and revenue losses by farmers.
The programme will support 50,000 hectares of fully irrigated food production hubs in Niger State, thereby helping the state scale its desire to deepen food production, wealth creation, and employment opportunities for the teeming population of the state.
