Anambra State is the second smallest state in the country by land mass after Lagos, with less than 300,000 hectares of land available for cultivation. However, the state’s success is hinged on its strategic approach to agriculture which involves soil testing to determine the best locations to grow rice, maize and cassava. Anambra’s economy is 4th among the states – after Lagos, Abuja, and Rivers Anambra State remains a key hub with the largest commercial market in West Africa showing a significant export investment opportunity Currently the majority of the population are engaged in distributive trade, agriculture, transport and services, real estate and construction, micro, small and medium industries, mining, financial services, and other services (health, education, law, etc.), entrepreneurial acumen of the Anambra people. Onitsha was and perhaps still is, the largest commercial market in West Africa. The natural resources include: natural gas, Crude oil, Bauxite, Kaolin, Salt, Gypsum, Lead, Lignite, Limestone, Iron ore, is arable for Oil palm, Corn, Rice, Yam, Cassava, Tomatoes, cocoyam, etc. Tourism potentials remain untapped. Adult literacy is over 80% and there are five universities (soon up to seven), a polytechnic and two colleges of education in the state. Its latest population estimate is over 5 million (10thmost populous state in Nigeria). It is estimated however that over 50% of Anambra indigenes (perhaps more than another 5 million people) live outside of the state— in other states in Nigeria as well as outside of Nigeria (all constitute the Greater Diaspora), whereas the state attracts a diversity of immigrants from all over Nigeria and the world. Anambra is indeed a home for all. In literally every village, ‘non-indigenes’ are becoming a significant share of population at home— especially those hired as security guards, and Okada drivers. Onitsha, Nnewi, Ekwulobia, Otuocha, Ihiala, Umunze, Awka, etc. have become rapidly urbanized. In 2006, I asked if there were white people living in Anambra as an index of a modernizing state. A large proportion of its most talented/skilled indigenes live outside of the state, while a larger proportion of invertible capital is deployed outside of the state. Poverty incidence in Anambra used to be the lowest mainly because of remittances by its Diaspora. Access to bank credit is relatively low. Anambra has the 4th largest bank deposit after Lagos, Abuja, and Rivers, The state aims to become http://www.pwc.com/ng/en/assets/pdf/uk-trade-investment-in-nigeria.pdf Cc. Lalasticlala 3 Likes

http://www.pwc.com/ng/en/assets/pdf/uk-trade-investment-in-nigeria.pdf Nigeria’s automotive hub, attracting manufacturing companies, to establish and expand their operations in the state. Anambra State is strategically positioned to become the manufacturing hub for automobile and automobile parts in the country. The state houses the only indigenous automobile manufacturing plant in Nigeria – Innoson Motors – as well as major auto part manufacturing factories. It is loosely dubbed the ‘Japan of Africa’ as it accounts for over 70% of the auto parts (including 23 motorcycles) manufacturing business in Nigeria. In recognition of the sector’s potential in the state, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) announced plans to construct and develop an automotive industrial park in Nnewi. Towards this, the Anambra State government provided the FGN with 80 hectares of land in December 23 2016. The automobile park will serve as a one-stop shop for spare part manufacturers in Anambra and other neighbouring states. The state is also an attractive destination to other manufacturing companies including Toyota and Honda; and regional car companies including General Appliances West Africa and Perfection Motors Company, who were granted auto assembly plant licenses in 2015 but are yet to begin operations in the country. 2 Likes

The state’s agricultural sector is developing rapidly and has attracted investments worth USD 1 billion since 2014 Anambra State is the second smallest state in the country by land mass, with less than 300,000 hectares of land available for cultivation. However, the state’s success is hinged on its strategic approach to agriculture which involves soil testing to determine the best locations to grow rice, maize and cassava. The state’s agricultural sector is rapidly developing and has attracted investments worth USD 1 billion from nine (9) organisations since 2014. Investors include Coscharis, Joseph Agro and Delfarms across rice, tomatoes, malting plants and integrated farm projects. Rice production in 2016 was estimated at 230,000 metric tonnes, exceeding the target of 210,000 metric tonnes. These investments are to ensure the state reaches and exceeds its local consumption demand of 320,000 metric 17 tonnes . The Agro-revolution initiated by the current administration led to the establishment of the Agricultural Export Programme resulting in the first vegetable (fluted pumpkin and bitter leaf) export to the United Kingdom in January 2016. The value of the 18 export was estimated at USD 5 million . The state has continued to export vegetables through a special arrangement with ABX World Cargo Ltd in partnership with Bosh Produce and Eagle Solution. The state is also providing critical links between farmers and industries e.g. Delfarm/Songhai farms producing Sorghum in commercial quantity have been linked with South Africa’s brewing giant, SABMiller. A similar arrangement is being sought for Tiger Foods (largest spices makers in West Africa) and Grand Cereal Limited. Why Anambra State? Major business constraints cited are around the poor organisation of farmers, inadequate processors, and limited market outlets for produce. Business Constraints Government Incentives According to the 2017 budget presentation, the government has increased budgetary allocation to agriculture by 500% to NGN 5.4 billion as part of its strategy to become a top 3 producer of rice, maize and cassava. Agribusiness “Anambra State, if given the right support, can enhance the agriculture sector in Nigeria. Beyond just food production, Anambra State is going a step further with activities involving the entire value chain.” Current and Planned Agricultural Projects Delfarms – Integrated farm project Private Investment – USD 200 million Joseph Agro Limited – Rice production Private Investment – USD 150 million Coscharis Farms – Rice production Private Investment – USD 110 million Eckel Farms – Tomatoes and cassava production Private Investment – USD 100 million Lynden Farms – Integrated farm project Private Investment – USD 61 million Novtech Farms – Rice production Private Investment – USD 50 million Silos & Grains – Malting plant Private Investment – USD 23.5 million Tricity Integrated Farms Private Investment – USD 11.4 million MIP Farms – Tomatoes & Greenhouse production Private Investment – USD 10 million Planned ThaiBorneo Energy Ltd – Rice & palm kernel production Partnership (Bukham Group) – USD 400 million Rehabilitation of the College of Agriculture in Mgbakwu - Partnership with FADAMA and IFAD for a Community Development Programme to develop 3,000 hectares of land to support development of the rice value chain 3 Likes
