After reading this you will end up thinking of one or both of these things. Read on! Do you want to relish on some chocolate? Come down to Nigeria! A # 9 billion worth chocolate factory has been commissioned in Ondo state! It is envisioned that this chocolate giant will produce 2.8 million tons of chocolate per annum.
The factory will never run out of cocoa bean! The 1,744 hectares Oda Cocoa plantation has been resuscitated. 250 cocoa farmers will be working on it.
Located in the ancient city of Idanre, this project was commissioned by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu. However, it was embarked upon his predecessor. The factory will be jointly operated by the state government and Spagnvola Chocolatiers, a U. S based firm.
Ondo state is definitely not done! The state is determined to remain the no. 1 producer of cocoa in Nigeria. Get ready to welcome the 8,400 hectares Ijugbere plant. 2,000 youths will be working on it with a minimum of four hectares allocated to one person.
Now, let me say you're either thinking of chocolates. You may also be thinking of a great investment in cocoa farming. Whichever one it is, Nigeria is your destination! Come on in!
