This collaborative venture not only guarantees a stable and accessible market for farmers in Niger State but also ensures that the citizens of Lagos State enjoy a reliable supply of food items at consistent prices.
The larger vision of this initiative is to create a sustainable and streamlined supply chain, integrating seamlessly with the ongoing Lagos Food logistics hub in Ketu Ereyun, Epe. Envisioned as a long-term solution, this initiative seeks to bolster the agricultural sector, generating economic benefits for both states and fortifying food security for the residents of Lagos State.
