AGRITECH COMPANIES IN NIGERIA
AGRITECH COMPANIES IN NIGERIA
Agriculture has been the energy source of most countries. For instance, before the discovery of crude oil, Nigeria relied heavily on agriculture as its major source of revenue.
However, agriculture began to suffer due to the advent of crude oil as there was a lack of interest and low investment because the people were sorting after the white-collar jobs birthed by the discovery of crude and the advancement of technology.
Agriculture then became an occupation for the poor who only practiced subsistent farming just enough to feed their family. Today, agriculture is back on track. Farmers can get all the capitals they need to secure sophisticated equipment, skills, and seedlings for commercial farming and get the finished products delivered to their final consumers at ease. Technology made it possible.
What Is Agritech?
Simply put, Agritech is a combination of agriculture and technology. It uses technology and its innovation to advance, promote and improve agricultural outputs and practices across the globe.
Agritech businesses made it possible for you to invest in agriculture or its activities without being directly involved and ensure you get a return on investment.
