Fountain Agro Farms and Consult, a subsidiary of Fountaindrip Nigeria Limited, has launched the largest agricultural input store in Ogun State. The store provides farmers with access to modern farming solutions, tools, and expert advice.
The company, known for introducing innovative farming techniques, aims to transform farming in Nigeria and empower farmers to thrive in a changing climate.
With partnerships with major agricultural suppliers and technology companies, the new store is expected to significantly impact the region, creating jobs and stimulating rural economic growth.
The company’s CEO, Emmanuel Adebiyi, stated that “our mission is not only to provide premium agricultural inputs but to transform the way farming is practised in Nigeria.”
He said, “This store is more than a retail outlet, it is a centre of innovation, knowledge-sharing, and farmer empowerment. We want to reach more communities, raise productivity, and give farmers the tools to thrive in a changing climate.”
According to him, the economic impact is expected to be far-reaching. Farmers in the region will save on transport costs and gain quicker access to high-quality inputs, lowering production expenses while improving crop yields and market competitiveness.
“With higher productivity, incomes are likely to rise, enabling farmers to reinvest in their operations and improve their quality of life. Producers and processors will benefit from a steadier supply of raw materials, reducing production bottlenecks and creating more business opportunities along the agricultural value chain.”
Adebiyi noted that “local employment is also set to grow, with the new store generating jobs for sales staff, agronomy experts, equipment technicians, transporters, and seasonal farmhands. Indirectly, the expansion will boost demand for local services such as logistics, packaging, and produce marketing, injecting more money into the community.
Economists projected that such ripple effects can stimulate rural economic growth, reduce youth unemployment, and strengthen Ogun State’s position as a leading agricultural hub in Nigeria.
