Last year after Kaduna investment summit, a French agricultural firm Vicampro partnered with Kaduna state on production and processing of potatoes.
The 120 million investment comprises establishment of a 2, 500 tonnes per day potato processing plant, cultivation of 10, 000 hectares of land and generating 30, 000 job opportunities.
The joint venture also aims to balance the potato supply deficit in the country, produce the annual 8 billion worth of french fries we import and start exporting raw and processed potatoes to other places.
This week the first harvest commences in Manchok, Kaura local govt. Congratulations Kaduna may you achieve those objectives.
