\n The governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyeditiwa, has stated that his government is dedicated to promoting extensive agricultural activities within the region.\n <\/p>\n
\n During his visit to the two private mechanized farms \u2014 SAO Agro Farms and JB Farms Limited, situated in Ore, the administrative center of Odigbo Local Government Area, Aiyedatiwa made these comments. These farms have partnered with the state government.\n <\/p>\n
\n The information was included in a press release distributed by Governor\u2019s chief spokesperson, Mr Ebenezer Adeniyan, and handed over to our representative on Monday.\n <\/p>\n
\n As stated, following his inspection of the palm plantation and its processing facility, the governor praised the remarkable change from a thick forest area to a very efficient farming operation.\n <\/p>\n
\n He remarked, “As evident, we’re looking at an exceptionally vast estate\u2014the largest I’ve come across. It was once dense woodland, yet it’s been transformed into a highly profitable enterprise. Both the scale of the plantation and the comprehensive infrastructural advancements are truly remarkable.”\n <\/p>\n
\n This investment extends far beyond merely planting palm trees; the company has also constructed roads and is currently building a state-of-the-art processing plant. As stated by the CEO, this facility will be finished the following year and prepared for operation. It\u2019s an extensive investment worthy of praise.\n <\/p>\n
\n The governor issued an order for all unlawful cultivators occupying the agricultural land to leave the area, assuring that the administration would offer substitute plots of farmland to those who were forced to move.\n <\/p>\n
\n During his speech, the CEO of SAO Agro, Mr Ayo Sotinrin, showed gratitude for the governmental backing and highlighted the organization’s enduring objectives.\n <\/p>\n
\n “At SAO Agro, we hold the belief that farming extends beyond mere food production; it plays a crucial role in building nations. Our dedication lies in cultivating an agrarian environment that promotes wealth for cultivators, societies, and our country as a whole. We value Governor Aiyedatiwa\u2019s support and anticipate expanding our partnership to advance agricultural change,” he stated.\n <\/p>\n
\n The CEO of JB Farms Limited, Mr Ajibola Adebutu, mentioned in his remarks that the farm initiated operations in August 2021 and has subsequently cleared around 7,500 hectares of land, out of which 5,000 hectares have been cultivated.\n <\/p>\n
\n “This location was previously a hideout for kidnappers and armed bandits about five to six years back. Upon our arrival, we were unable to move around without being encircled by police officers and military personnel. However, nowadays, I am able to stand here unencumbered as circumstances have improved. Individuals inclined towards criminal activities have either departed or secured jobs locally, thereby providing them with lawful sources of income,” he stated.\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
