With the growing demand for the improvement of the agricultural sector as a viable income generating industry and the need to diversify the Nigerian economy, the Zebra Group through its subsidiary, Zebra Agro-industries is expanding its agro initiatives by investing $1.1 million USD in agro-industrial operations focused on vegetable oil and animal feed processing over the course of 2016 (within Nigeria’s south-eastern region).
This development will contribute significantly to the output of agricultural produce as well as empower local agriculturalists within the region. The opportunity will also further fuel Zebra Agroindustries commitment to the support and development of the Nigerian female farmer.
These initiatives are in line with the government’s goals to diversify the Nigerian economy, reducing its dependence on oil.
