by Ayo Opeoluwa
Kaduna state government on Saturday launched the massive $120 million Vicampro Potato Farm and Processing facility in Manchok, Kaura. The Vicampro Potato farm which according to the governor is a product of the Kaduna Economic Summit held five months earlier is expected to cover 10,000 hectares of land and to create about 30,000 jobs, it is reputed to be the biggest in sub Sahara Africa. The governor said the plant would earn foreign exchange and reduce dependence on oil. He further stated that the state was determined to promote agricultural best practices to boost development, diversify the economy and increase Internally Generated Revenue.
Kaduna is gradually becoming a force to be reckoned with in agricultural productivity and investment, according to the governor “Today Kaduna is becoming a much easier place to do business and our efforts have already started yielding positive results. We have Olam of Singapore investing $150 million to build the largest integrated poultry and feed mill in Nigeria. Similarly Dangote Group is investing in a 7000 hectare tomato farm and a processing plant in Kaduna State”. The CBN governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele who was also in attendance emphasized the need for the diversification of the economy because of the drop in oil prices; he commended the Kaduna State government for supporting the CBN to guarantee stable micro economy. Vicampro according to its MD, Michael Agbogbo would be producing French fries, Irish flakes and biscuits for local and international consumption.
