BENFRUITS GEARS UP FOR TAKE-OFF OF FULL PRODUCTION

The Benue Investment and Property Company Limited's agro-processing subsidiary, Benfruits, is set for the takeoff of full production.

BIPC Group Managing Director, Dr. Raymond Asemakaha, disclosed the development in a statement, calling on farmers and residents to prepare for increased demand for produce as operations begin.

“Benfruits is on its way to commence full production. Get ready with your oranges, mangoes and tomatoes,” Asemakaha stated, expressing optimism over the project’s readiness.

He attributed the progress to the support and leadership of Governor Hyacinth Alia, describing the governor as a “pace setter of our time,” and adding that the initiative would contribute to the state’s economic transformation.

“Trust our Pace setter of our time, His Excellency Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia. Together Benue will be great,” he added.

The commencement of full production at Benfruits is expected to create opportunities for fruit and tomato farmers, stimulate local supply chains and strengthen efforts to position Benue as a hub for agro-industrial development.

Benfruits, a strategic investment under BIPC, is designed to process locally sourced fruits into finished products.
