Abora-Apam: Our First Commercial-Scale Victory
Breaking Ground
In 2023, we transformed 29 acres of traditional farmland into a tomato/pepper powerhouse using:
Flood irrigation adapted for local water tables
Premium seeds selected for disease resistance
Daily yield tracking via simple mobile apps
By the Numbers
Monthly Output: 60MT tomatoes
Plant Density: 4,500/acre (non-mechanized)
Market Reach: 50+ customers reached
Labor Impact: 12 full-time + 23 seasonal jobs
Habanero Breakthrough
Onboarded customers who would premium for our "Apam Reds" due to:
Consistent heat level
Thicker flesh ideal for grinding
14-day post-harvest freshness (vs. 7-day imports)
The Upgrade Path
Abora-Apam's limitations (flood irrigation waste, manual labor) directly inspired our:
➡️ Drip systems at Agege
➡️ Mechanization benchmarks for Eastern Region
"Agrinova gave me more than a job—it gave me confidence, skills, and the courage to dream bigger than I ever imagined."
