Anambra’s rising profile as the haven for investments in sub-Saharan Africa actually began in May 2015 when the Coscharis Group made a massive entry into the state’s agricultural sector with $200m investment in a farm settlement, (the Coched Farms Project) in Anakau, Ayamelum Local Government Area. Since then, Anambra has continued to attract investors as the Obiano administration digs in to force through its reform programmes that are intended to lift the state up to its rightful position as the home of entrepreneurship in sub-Saharan Africa.

Since the arrival of Coched Farms, other agro-investors have followed suit. Joseph Agro Limited, Ekcel Farms Limited had penned down a $150m agreement to take over the lucrative Omor Rice Mill and farm settlement while Ekcel Farms had signed in $100 million for the production of cassava and tomato in the state. Grains and Silos Limited has also signed another MoU valued at S11 million for a Silos project and finally, Delfarm/Songhai Farms have also moved in.

Other investors like Royal Farms and a host of others are all in line to move into Anambra. There are also talks about a high-level collaboration between the Anambra State Government and some agricultural authorities in Bangkok, Thailand, that will finally divvy up Governor Obiano’s promised agricultural revolution in Anambra State. The state has also attracted investments in the area of tourism with Cardinal Developers and Trust Limited leading the charge in that sector with a considerable financial outlay.

Right at the heart of the investment revolution in Anambra State is the pivotal role of the Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency (ANSIPPA) which is staffed with seasoned investment bankers and financial experts. This agency has made the process of documentation and other otherwise tedious processes of doing business in Anambra State look like a walk in the park. This has encouraged prospective investors who are familiar with the huge markets and great human capital that Anambra has in abundance.

It would be recalled that flagging off this year’s farming season in a ceremony at Nteje, Oyi Local government in May this year, governor Obiano had firmly set the agenda for his agricultural revolution. Underscoring the importance of agriculture to Ndigbo in his speech at the event, Chief Obiano had recalled that “From time immemorial, our ancestors judged a man by the strength of his arm. A man who could not feed his family was regarded as an efulefu! A failure! That tells us how important farming and agriculture in general was and will always be to our people.” Setting his sight on the possibilities of Agriculture contributing at least 40% of the GDP of Anambra State, Governor Obiano declared, “this year, we shall force the doors of agricultural productivity open in Anambra State.”

While it may be too early to say that Obiano has forced the door of agricultural productivity open in Anambra State what is however not in doubt is the fact that he has forced the door of investments open to both local and foreign entrepreneurs. And Anambra State is the better for it.

Stine rice milling plants Amichi Nnewi south

Beautiful news. This is the kind of progressive news I love to hear. This is one area where the new FG seem not to have impressed me at all. I expected that by now we would have heard of some monumental radical policies to promote agriculture on a nationwide scale but nothing seems to be happening to prove that the government really wants to diversify anything.

Anambra Agro revolution! Laying foundation of biggest poultry farm in eastern Nigeria

We have visited Anaku and Omor to see things for ourselves.

I was personally impressed.
The decision to take our destiny into our hands is very real.

After Agriculture, the next is Science and Technology.

Our only problem is those who use policies of hatred to trample on our lofty dreams.

If we are allowed to fly as we want. we shall make ICs and nuclear weapons.

Hahahahahah.

Make una no fear, it's just for self defense.

Willly willy...

Agro revolution in Anambra

the apc has been begging him to join apc. Their van filled with "apc elders" is mostly parked in front of government house, awka.

I saw the news on nairaland that they a "barring" Obiano from apc and I just laughed. Am sure he refused them so they resulted to blackmail.

Obiano is the best thing to happen in the east. All eastern governors are stepping up to their greatest..well, not all.

Aroma farms have started their expansion as well

He's the Michael Jordan of governor's that's why he puts his face on his clothing. WILLIE IS WORKING!

On a serious note I must applaud this man for his diligence. He is doing an incredible job. If he can continue or surpass this pace 2019 can be his.

Out of 36 states, one state is always on the news with good news...always.

Even the governor doesn't talk much but his good works are speaking for him.

Anambra seems to be light years ahead of the other states in the east, please what is stopping business men from imo, abia, enugu, Ebonyi with billions of dollars investments in Abuja and lagos investing half of that investment in agriculture in the east, why are other eastern states wicked and stupidly foolish, at this time that oil prices are falling to zero percent, Anambra people are investing in agriculture in the east and some useless igbos are still investment in controversial states making it difficult for investment climate in the east.

Biko Umunna na umunne bute uba unu ulo, a stitch in time will save many lives.

@boldpls don't be silly.

The North has the best land for agriculture and livestock rearing cos it is usually dry up there which is a good thing. Unlike the South were the wetness harbours diseases and pests which affects livestock and crops.

Ask an agriculturist. Or why do you think most of our food come from that region?

Ebonyi has rice and yam farms, Enugu State has Pineapple farms, Abia has cashew farms. But what is just needed is full expansion and commercialization. Above all, these states I mentioned are at least doing something!

Anambra people like boasting. In fact, they eat it . They boast of every little thing.

Anyway, thumbs up to the man with four hearts- obiano
