The Kaduna State Government has taken a strategic step toward boosting its agricultural value chains by engaging Valency Africa on potential large-scale agro-processing investments in the state.
The high-level meeting, chaired by Deputy Governor Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, was attended by the Executive Secretary of the Kaduna Investment Promotion Agency (KADIPA), Sadiq Mohammed, senior government officials, and a Valency Africa delegation led by Mr. Amit Bose, the company’s Chief Financial Officer.
Speaking on behalf of Governor Senator Uba Sani, Dr. Balarabe reaffirmed Kaduna’s readiness to host large-scale agro-industrial projects, citing the state’s agricultural strengths — second place in soybean production, first in ginger and maize output, a favourable climate, vast arable land, and a youthful workforce.
Valency Africa, established in 2007 with headquarters in Singapore, is a leading agro-processing and commodity marketing company with operations in cashew, ginger, soybeans, and other products across Africa and Asia. The company expressed interest in building a dry ginger processing plant and establishing dry and cold storage facilities in Kaduna.
Dr. Balarabe welcomed Valency Africa’s proposals and directed relevant state agencies to deepen engagements to fast-track discussions.
This potential investment aligns with Kaduna State’s broader economic development strategy to expand industrial capacity, boost exports, create jobs, and strengthen the agricultural sector.
