Dangote Fertiliser Limited grabbed the agricultural input prize at Nigeria's 17th National Agricultural Show held in Keffi, Nasarawa State. The National Agricultural Foundation of Nigeria chairman said the Dangote Group has been carrying the entire agricultural input sector on its back since day one, and the company's success with petroleum means it can pump even more resources into farming and food security moving forward.
NAFN's acting national coordinator called out the fertilizer plant's three-million-metric-ton annual urea production as a total game changer for the industry. A senior adviser from Dangote Industries said the recognition confirms what they already knew about their impact on farmers nationwide, and the company plans to scale up production while working more closely with farmers and government agencies. Dangote was a major sponsor of the show, which NAFN organized alongside the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and the All Farmers Association of Nigeria.
