Oxford Green Farms group Launches Innovative Platform, “Agrolyfe”, To Improve Agric Value Chain

Oxford Green farms group, a leading business conglomerate in Africa, has recently launched an innovative platform to facilitate and improve effective productivity in the Agricultural sector of the nation’s economy.

Speaking at the official launch of the platform, the CEO of Oxford Green Farms group, Dr. Goodluck Olatunde Precious, disclosed that the platform ‘Agrolyfe’ leverages farming and real estate which will enable farmers and subscribers the opportunity to create consistent income-earning opportunities, as well as generate stable and reliable rental income through farmland acquisition.

The initiative is poised to complement the efforts of the federal government in the area of self-sustainability in food production that targets the entire agricultural value chain. The CEO further revealed that those who are subscribers on the platform can purchase farmlands from as low as N100,000 to N2,000,000 and earn rentals on it every three months.

It is interesting to note that the company has already flagged off with four fam locations in, Imala Town, Oke-Ogun, Ibadan, Oyo state, Itele in Ijebu, Ogun State, and Ijaka in Aiyetoro. The company disclosed that all these locations aforementioned are not all, as there are plans underway to add 20 more locations to the scheme within the next 30-60 days.

In the words of the CEO, during the official launch of the platform, he had this to say, “AgroLyfe is that child delivered when you marry Agriculture with Real Estate. It is a product that leverages farming and real estate to generate stable and reliable rental income for customers through farmland acquisition. Think of it like this: Buy land, rent out to farmers for farming, and earn rental on these farms at short intervals. Smart, right? That is exactly what AgroLyfe is”.

“Our mission is to cover the entire agriculture value chain, from farming to harvesting, processing, storage, transportation, and up to the end-users. In this case, this would also include exporting agro products. We would give farmers we are onboarding access to grants and off-takers for their farming to boost capacity and output. We believe this would add up to a 20% boost to Nigeria’s overall food production capacity” he stated”

This is a highly commendable initiative from Oxford Green farms to aid farmers and the production of food in the country. It is indeed an ecstatic feeling to see that the agricultural sector in the country has been receiving great support, not just from the government alone, but also from private firms.

Farmers in the country are faced with different constraints that have affected food production and the generation of income and revenue. Some constraints they are often faced with, are a lack of access to farmlands and grants for their farming to boost their capacity and output. The outrageous amounts farmlands are being sold at, makes it difficult for farmers to purchase land for planting.

With ‘Agrolyfe’, such a problem will be eradicated as the platform offers farmers the opportunity to buy lands for as low as N100,000 or even rent the lands to farmers at short intervals. Awesome! Not only will the platform offer affordable lands, rentals, and grants to farmers, it also has a mission to cover the entire agricultural value chain from harvesting, processing, storage, transportation, and up to end-users.

What this means is that there will be the elimination of different challenges faced by these farmers which will ensure that their farm produce is properly stored, safely transported, and gets to the end-users with little or no risk involved. Grants will also be given to these farmers to be able to purchase large amounts of seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides which will no doubt ensure that they produce a bountiful harvest.

Indeed, if all these initiatives and platforms established by the government and private firms are effectively implemented, coupled with smooth operation, the agricultural sector will no doubt boost Nigeria’s overall food production capacity which can also be a source of great revenue to the country through the exportation of different farm produce.
