“I was impressed by the progress they have made after starting just two years ago when I first visited and encouraged them with little support. I have consistently maintained that agriculture remains critical to our economic development and that the biggest assets our nation has include the vast uncultivated lands, mostly in the northern states.
“Our abundant human and natural resources, especially concerning agriculture, if properly harnessed, will solve many challenges facing the nation, ranging from national insecurity, food insecurity, inflation, unemployment and over-dependence on imports.
“Boosting agricultural production would also help us to generate the much-needed additional foreign exchange. I appreciate the Management of Mary Agro Farms for helping the national vision of moving Nigeria from consumption to production.
“Aside from engaging in agricultural activities, Mary Agro Farms also trains young individuals who are passionate about agriculture and gives them loans to help them establish themselves.
