The delivery represents an advancement in the growing agricultural science and technology partnership between Nigeria and China,
This was to enhance cassava production by reducing dependence on manual labour while improving efficiency and productivity across the value chain.
According to the Chinese Embassy in Abuja, the shipment, which arrived on June 17, comprises four sets of specialised cassava farming equipment designed to mechanise every stage of production.
“The equipment includes a deep plough for land preparation, a rotary tiller for soil cultivation, a combined ridging and cassava planter for efficient planting, and a vibrating-chain cassava harvester for mechanised harvesting.
“The integrated system will enable farmers to complete the entire cassava production cycle using modern machinery, significantly cutting production time, lowering labour costs, improving operational efficiency, and increasing output.
