Pally Agro products has launched unripe plantain flour, canned banga and soya bean oil into the Nigerian market.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Pally Groups, Mr. Nwakali Onyeagu, at the launch in Lagos, noted that for Nigeria to achieve its food self-sufficiency, more attention should be given to agriculture beyond oil.
According to the CEO, agriculture has been in the front burner before oil but plagued with a lot of issues in Nigeria.
“With competent resources and personnel, Nigeria will soon be self-sufficient in agriculture. We want to be a part of the government effort to achieve food-sufficiency and to achieve that,” Onyeagu said.
The Managing Director of Pally Groups, Mrs. Anuli Onyeagu, lamented that the millions of naira in tax levied on companies by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) will cripple businesses if such taxes are not reduced.
She urged women to venture into different forms of agriculture including planting, processing, packaging, manufacturing and logistics rather than being dependent on others.
