In an effort to address the country’s growing food security challenges, Origin Tech Group is spearheading the Greener Hope Agriculture Mechanisation Productivity Programme (GHAPP) to expand food production by over two million metric tonnes through collaboration with federal, state, and local governments, as well as the private sector.
Precisely, this transformative initiative aims to significantly boost food production and fortify the nation’s agricultural resilience.
The Executive Chairman of Origin Tech Group, Prince Samuel Joseph Samuel, in a chat with New Telegraph, stated that by strategically deploying advanced agricultural machinery, optimising land use, and making targeted investments in production and processing, the programme was set to increase food output by over two million metric tonnes.
According to him, Nigeria’s food security crisis has reached a critical juncture, exacerbated by factors such as border insecurity, uncontrolled immigration, and rampant smuggling.
To him, these issues have severely disrupted the country’s traditional agricultural regions, worsened the food insecurity index and threatened national stability. He said: “As the nation grapples with the deepening food crisis, GHAPP offers a beacon of hope, harnessing the power of agri-tech to build a more secure and prosperous future for all Nigerians.
The programme is a direct and proactive response to these challenges, aligning with the strategic goals outlined in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Executive Order on food security.”
The executive chairman of the company also highlighted the critical role of collaboration in achieving the programme’s objectives, adding that “the Greener Hope National Agriculture Productivity Programme is an initiative to expand food production by over two million metric tonnes through collaboration with federal, state, and local governments, as well as the private sector.
