Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has expressed his administration’s support for large-scale farming in the state.

Aiyedatiwa stated this during his visit to the two private mechanised farms – SAO Agro Farms and JB Farms Limited, which had collaborations with the government and are located in Ore, the headquarters of the Odigbo Local Government Area of the state.

During the visit, the governor directed that all illegal farmers on the farmland should vacate the place.

He, however, promised that the government would provide alternative farmland to the displaced farmers.

The visit was contained in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Ebenezer Adeniyan and made available on Monday.

Aiyedatiwa, after a tour of the palm plantation and its processing mill of the farms, lauded the transformation of what was once a dense forest into a highly productive agricultural enterprise.

“As you can see, this is a very large plantation, the biggest I have ever seen. This used to be a thick forest, but it has now been turned into a productive venture.

“What I see here is impressive, not just in terms of the plantation but also the extensive infrastructure development.

“This investment has gone beyond just planting palm trees; the company has built roads and is now constructing a modern processing mill.
