The Adamawa state government has partnered with Aluvia Agriculture to promote large-scale soybean cultivation.
The agreement, reached through the ADAS Programme, aims to boost agricultural productivity and improve livelihoods.
The pilot project, set to commence in Demsa LGA, will cover 100 hectares and assess the feasibility of large-scale soybean production in the region.
The collaboration also seeks to empower local farmers through cooperative structures and cluster formation.
Key stakeholders, including Usman Abubakar (SA to the Governor on Agriculture and Entrepreneurship), Joseph Uke (Aluvia Agriculture), and Abdullahi Shittu (Fincon Consulting Limited), attended the meeting.
ADAS Programme representatives, Mr. James Birdling, Dr. Tasiu Idi, and Praise Dauda, reaffirmed their commitment to the initiative.
The project aligns with Governor Fintiri’s administration’s goal to enhance agribusiness in Adamawa State through the ADAS Programme.
The partnership is expected to significantly benefit the agricultural sector and improve the livelihoods of those involved.
