The Delta State Governor noted that the programme would enhance food security, agro-processing, employment creation, export earnings, infrastructural development with its overall effect on the state’s Gross Domestic Product.

He said Delta was endowed with arable land suitable for cultivation of palm fruits, casava, maize, yams, plantain and all sorts of vegetables, saying the Special Agricultural Processing Zone would be a strategic addition and would be hugely successful.

The Team Lead, Doctor Chuma Ezedinma said Delta State had been shortlisted for the second phase of the Special Agricultural Economic Zones programme and lauded the state government for it’s Special Purpose Vehicle model which according to him was unique and a pacesetter.

“Delta State has Economic Zone Management Company designed to manage the industrial zones within the area. Delta has adopted the Public Private Partnership approach which is fundamental for the bank.
