The federal government through the ministry of Agriculture of food security has unveiled the National Agricultural Mechanization Policy and investment strategy aimed to drive sustainable investment; bankable opportunities; and viable private-sector-enabled mechanisation ecosystem.
Speaking during the national policy dialogue on agricultural mechanization, held in Abuja on Wednesday, Abubakar Kyari, minister of Agriculture and food security said that despite having vast agricultural economy, large domestic food market, and expanding agro-processing activities, Nigeria’s emand for agricultural machinery services still remain largely unmet.
He explained that the mechanisation value chain presents an opportunity to build an ecosystem in which capital, technology, skills and entrepreneurship converge around one objective: making mechanization commercially viable and widely accessible.
