Agricultural mechanisation is critical to increasing food production, improving productivity and strengthening Nigeria’s food security efforts, the Chief Executive Officer of Agcoms International Trading Limited, Okoli Chijioke, has said.
Chijioke stated this in a statement issued by Agcoms on Tuesday, in which he expressed support for President Bola Tinubu’s agricultural reforms and food security agenda, describing mechanisation as a key driver of economic growth, rural development, and the transformation of the agricultural sector.
According to him, the Federal Government’s emphasis on expanding access to modern farming equipment remains one of the most effective ways to raise farm productivity, strengthen agricultural value chains and attract younger Nigerians into agriculture.
He said, “The administration’s sustained emphasis on modernising agriculture through increased access to mechanised farming equipment represents one of the most effective pathways to raising productivity, strengthening agricultural value chains and attracting a new generation of Nigerians into farming.”
