In order to increase agricultural productio and ensure food security, the Niger State Government has formed a partnership with Origin Group, a diversified agriculture value chain conglomerate, to launch a specialized agro support program in Niger State using its proprietary themed support system Total Agricultural Support Program (TASP) in collaboration with Campo of Brazil.
The Niger State Government got 500 large-capacity tractors, 500 harvesters of differing capacities, and 1000 different agricultural and irrigation equipment and farm implements.
This effort is expected to eliminate drudgery, 50 percent post-harvest losses, and financial losses for farmers.
The program will support 50,000 hectares of fully irrigated food production hubs in Niger State, assisting the state in scaling up its desire to increase food production, wealth creation, and job opportunities for the state’s burgeoning population.
