Firm mulls security with mechanised farming

Food security has received a major boost all thanks to the concerted efforts by Origin Tech Group spearheading the Greener Hope Agriculture Mechanisation Productivity Programme (GHAPP).

This transformative initiative aims to significantly boost food production and fortify the nation’s agricultural resilience.

By strategically deploying advanced agricultural machinery, optimising land use, and making targeted investments in production and processing, the programme is set to increase food output by over 2 million metric tonnes.

Justifying the need for this initiative, the Executive Chairman of Origin Tech Group, Prince Samuel Joseph Samuel highlighted the critical role of collaboration in achieving the programme’s objectives.

“The Greener Hope National Agriculture Productivity Programme is an initiative to expand food production by over 2 million metric tonnes through collaboration with Federal, State, and Local governments, as well as the private sector,” he stated.The programme, he maintained, aims to establish large-scale commercial farming hubs that will optimise production and significantly boost the agricultural sector’s contribution to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The initiative is supported by a consortium of global partners, with funding from the Brazilian Government and Deutsche Bank Group.

According to Samuel, leveraging its extensive experience and proven track record of successful partnerships, Origin Tech Group will lead the implementation of this multi-million-dollar investment project.

The focus will be on establishing mechanisation hubs nationwide, equipping farmers with the tools and technology necessary to maximize agricultural output and minimize waste.President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, through the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, has consistently highlighted the importance of this programme.
