This year, L.O. Ekwe Global Operations Ltd. embarked on an exciting new agricultural initiative, dedicating 2 acres of land to cassava farming. The choice to explore cassava farming aligns with the company’s long-term strategy to diversify its agricultural projects and boost local production of essential crops.
However, as with any agricultural venture, the season presented unforeseen challenges. While the company initially planted corn in the same plot, the crops were severely affected by a drought that impacted growth. Despite the setback, the management remains optimistic, viewing
the challenges as part of the natural cycle of farming. They are currently reassessing the farming techniques and irrigation methods to ensure better resilience in the future.
The cassava crops, on the other hand, are showing promising growth, and the company is hopeful that the upcoming harvest will yield a valuable product for both local consumption and possible export. L.O. Ekwe is committed to continuously improving its farming methods and looks forward to expanding its agricultural ventures in the near future.
The conference also aligns with the company’s strategy to explore and innovate within the broader agricultural and food production industries. L.O. Ekwe aims to integrate new processing techniques and efficient feed manufacturing practices into its operations to improve productivity and sustainability in the future.
