A joint venture agreement with Mirai Technology Limited and Norsworthy Investment Limited to establish a multi-billion naira agricultural industrial park in the state has been signed on Wednesday by the Delta State Government.
“The agricultural value chain in the state would be harnessed by the industrial park,” said the Governor. He also commented on the determination of the government to develop agriculture in the state with this joint venture and the plan to establish agricultural industrial parks in various parts of the state are all in tandem.
“The joint venture agreement has been signed by the three partners; the process that led to today’s event started three years ago. I am glad that we have a local investor among the investors; we are confident that it is a success story and it is also an agro-investment park that will be driven by the private sector.
