The Project is a Farm Settlement Village, previously developed by Songhai Farms in Heneke Community, Ezeagu LGA of Enugu State. This Farm Settlement Village has a 20 Hectare space of Land which is already developed and equipped with Facilities and assets that support large scale production. In addition, there is a further 10,000 hectares of arable land which surrounds the Farm Settlement. The Farm Settlement is marked by the following:
Our solution lies in the establishment of a fully integrated Farm Settlement Village that combines crop production, animal husbandry, and agro-processing. By leveraging sustainable agricultural practices and advanced technologies, we ensure the production of high-quality agricultural products. Through our distributorship model, we can efficiently deliver these products to B2B customers, ensuring a consistent supply of locally sourced goods.
No solution is complete until it can be replicated. A key component of our business model and solution will involve training Youth and Women on how to effectively and efficiently establish and manage successful agribusinesses within the localities. Training is essential especially as vehicle to identify and prepare young talents who the Farm Project will develop to manage other Farm Settlements which will be developed as part of expansion.
Agro-Tourism is a burgeoning market. People, especially people within cities are beginning to see the value in escaping city lives especially on weekends to remote locations to recharge themselves. The Project will establish a Tourism business with will encompass resorts and hospitality, activities like horse-back riding, hiking, sightseeing, and games such as polo, dirt track racing and other fun activities that will ensure that people have reasons to visit the Farm weekly, ensuring an activity packed weekends.
Our target is to establish farm settlement communities across 13 states of the federation in 5 years with no less than 100,000 hectares under management to tackle the issues of food insecurity, malnourishment, high cost of food items, as well as using this as a model to develop rural Nigeria through empowerment of youth and women across all the states where our farm settlements are located.
The Farm Settlement is 20 hectares of land developed already with facilities which is surrounded by undeveloped arable land of 10,000 hectares. The uniqueness of our operation lies in our plan to clear these 10,000 hectares of land space, divide them into smaller parcels of 1, 2 and at most 5 hectares each, and then 'lease' them to trained young men and women to manage according to their performance in training. Outputs from these 'Parcels' are benchmarked to a control 1 hectare operation of the different crops. Farm inputs will be provided for these farmers and their productivity will be managed via an online platform 'Prodile' which is essentially a platform for managing the productive capacities of productive units. Data gathered will be used to determine further levels of support.
