Our Vision
Position Nigeria as a major agricultural production force in Africa through mechanization, productivity, innovation and value-chain development.
Our Mission
Promote mechanized agriculture, strengthen farmer participation, develop rural communities, create employment opportunities and support sustainable agricultural and socio-economic initiatives.
