The Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) has called on both local and international investors to channel more funds into Nigeria’s agricultural value chains, particularly in crop farming, to drive food production and foster inclusive economic growth.
The call was made by MOFI’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Armstrong Takang, during the ‘Integrainium Investment Forum: Crop Farming Roundtable’ held in Abuja.
The forum, with the theme: ‘From Seed to Shipment: Redefining the Crop Farming Value Chain’, was organised to spotlight the Integrainium initiative — MOFI’s flagship programme aimed at transforming Nigeria’s agriculture sector.
Takang explained that the Integrainium initiative was designed to modernise farming in Nigeria by adopting a comprehensive approach that spans crop production, livestock, and aquaculture, from inputs and production to trade and distribution.
“The Integrainium programme is a demonstration of our belief in agriculture as a key driver of economic growth,” he said. “It seeks to unlock the sector’s vast potential by attracting investment across the entire value chain from improving farm practices to building modern processing infrastructure and strengthening distribution networks.”
