Plateau governor-elect engage Hungarian government on potato value chain, agriculture

Plateau State Governor-elect Caleb Mutfwang, has continued to interface with investors and development partners, ahead of his anticipated inauguration on May 29, 2023.

To that end, Governor-elect Mutfwang in a meeting held in Abuja, engaged the government of Hungary in a bilateral discussion on the improvement and commercialization of potato farming, and the use of drones in agriculture, especially for spraying liquid fertilizers & pesticides in the State.

The Governor-elect who was represented by an eminent delegation in the extensive discussion with the Consul-General, Embassy of Hungary, Mr Endre Peter Deri, and some Hungarian investors, was optimistic that the people of Plateau State would genuinely benefit from the potato value chain in its true and rightful sense, during the lifespan of his administration.

The Plateau-Hungary bilateral meeting is expected to result in smart farming practices, improved potato seed varieties, and quality storage facilities, to make farming more enticing, profitable, and attractive to unemployed youths and those interested in agriculture, when Barr. Caleb Mutfwang (BCM), assumes office next month.
