The initiative, undertaken in collaboration with the Commonwealth Women Network, aims to empower women and youth to make the state a food hub.

The senior special assistant (SSA) to the governor on Agriculture and Agribusiness, Mr Wemimo Akinsola made the announcement on Friday in Akure.

He explained that the project would cover planting, production, processing, packaging and marketing, transforming the 10,000 hectares into a major agricultural hub in the Southern Senatorial District.

The selected location provides access to water, which is essential for successful agricultural activities.
Additionally, with the planned seaport in the region and the existing airport in the state capital, the state is strategically preparing for the future exportation of agricultural products.

Akinsola emphasised that this is a $200 million project undertaken in partnership with the Commonwealth Women Network to drive industrial-scale agriculture and economic development in the region.

He disclosed that the land, acquired through the Ondo State Agribusiness Empowerment Centre (OSAEC) under the Land Banking Scheme, is expected to serve as a major agricultural hub.

Akinsola revealed that the initiative aligns with the state government’s vision of making Ondo a leading agribusiness hub in Nigeria, ensuring that both smallholder farmers and large-scale investors benefit from modern agricultural techniques, global market access and improved productivity.

Cabinet director of the Commonwealth Women Network, Mr Niba Louis, affirmed that the organisation would provide the necessary funding, training and technical expertise for the project.

He revealed that the initiative is expected to employ over 3,000 workers, predominantly farmers, and will enhance their productivity rather than replace them.

According to him, the goal is to make farming more accessible and sustainable.

A farmer, Mr Shola Adeniyan, expressed his excitement about the project. Reflecting on his experience in Ese Odo, he noted that many people assume there is a shortage of available farmland, but his visit to the proposed site proved otherwise.

He urged farmers to embrace the opportunity and make the best use of the available land.
