The development is expected to impart the lives of the Ondo state youth and as well contribute to economic status of the state.

 

 It will be recall that, revenue derivable through crude oil is on the fall in Nigeria and one area people feel government should turn to is agriculture.

 

 A pilot farm which was organized for training program is a success and ready for harvest. 

The pilot farm that was situated in Ogbese in Akure north local government is to serve as a test run for the new system of rice farming as it is being done in Malaysia.

In his own word, the leader of the Malaysia expatriates Anas Ahmed, the new technology is easy and result oriented if properly managed.
