The main purpose of establishing the modern greenhouse farm, is to create a profitable state-of-the-art functional structure in the center of the West African commercial capital, by providing simple innovative and effective farming methods to produce and supply high quality, fresh produce not just to our outlets, but to the broader market of Lagos Metropolis.
Dizengoff Focuses on Greenhouse Technology Investors to Aid Agriculture

As part of the project, 10 units of greenhouses would be set up and delivered to Best Foods Farm at Igbodu, Epe, where they also own a farm while Apel Capital & Trust would act as Trustees of the project’s fund.
