The Federal Government of Nigeria has unveiled the National Agricultural Mechanisation Policy and the National Agricultural Mechanisation Investment Strategy, with plans to establish a tractor assembly plant capable of producing between 2,000 and 4,000 units annually. The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari, emphasized that mechanisation goes beyond the use of tractors and covers various aspects of agricultural production, aiming to build a Mechanization-as-a-Service economy.
The proposed plant is expected to reduce Nigeria's dependence on imported machinery, create jobs, and support the development of a sustainable mechanisation economy.
