At a meeting with a Chinese team of investors, from Wuxi Huadong Cocoa Food Co. Ltd, who were on a two-day working visit to the state, Adeleke expressed his commitment to revive old cocoa plantations and plant at least, a million seedlings and develop processing factories for new cocoa products.

A statement by the spokesperson to the governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed stated that the company’s Managing Director, Mr. Yan Weiqing, who expressed satisfaction after the site inspection at the moribund Cocoa industry at Ede, had promised to rebuild the Cocoa Processing facility and bring in new equipment for the progress of the governor’s industrialization agenda.

Speaking further, the governor who described the presence of the Chinese team as a welcome development, said, “We are open to a Memorandum of Understanding for the revival of the industry located at Ede, Osun State.

“I am therefore directing the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry as well as the Attorney General of the State to look into this matter and work out a partnership deal”.
