Determined to tackle hunger which is causing disquiet in many Nigerian homes today, a real estate investment and development firm, Zylus Group International, has diversified into agriculture in order to put more food on family tables.
The vision of the company, according to its authorities, is on mechanised farming, animal rearing and processing of farm products such as cash crops and livestock that would be sustainably consumed locally and will sufficiently meet global standards for exportation.
“We believe strongly that this diversification direction will support the continued success of the group in the future and align with the strategic objective of the government to feed its teeming population and end hunger in the country,” Oluwatosin Olatujoye, group managing director, said at the launch of Zylus Farm Vest Limited in Lagos on Thursday.
