NALDA Integrated Farm Estate Katsina; Opportunities and Prospects. In this article, we take a closer look at the recently commissioned MALDA, the investments and the opportunity it will bring to the Nigerian populace.

Recently, the President of Nigeria, General Muhammadu Buhari, Monday, commissioned National Agricultural Lands, NALDA, maiden Integrated Farm Estate in Suduje, Katsina State, which is worth generating over N1.7 billion in the first year.

The disclosure was made by the Executive Secretary/CEO of National Agricultural Land Development Authority, NALDA, Prince Paul Ikonne, while delivering an address of welcome.

Ikonne said the first NALDA Integrated Farm Estate is established on 100-hectare land donated by the Katsina State Government, which he also appreciated the magnanimity of Governor Aminu Bello Masari, for providing support through his Commissioner of Women Affairs.

He said the farmers are being trained on best agricultural practices in crop farming, livestock, poultry, rabbits, and fish farming.

the NALDA boss said the integrated farm has a processing and packaging zone for fish, chicken and pepper. Farmers from outside the Estate will also have their products, especially pepper processed and packaged so they can get more value.
