During discussions on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meetings in New York, Dr. Adesina highlighted the remarkable success of special agro-industrial processing zones. He pointed out that in Nigeria alone, there has been a recent request to expand the coverage of these zones from eight states to 35.
These special zones are strategically chosen rural areas that receive infrastructure investments, enabling food and agribusiness companies to establish and expand their operations.
Dr. Adesina stated, “From my perspective, we should not be discussing food security in Africa in more than five years. There is no reason for it. We possess the technology and the financial resources to achieve it on a large scale.”
