Crop Farming Division Expands Operations in Nigeria's Middle Belt

Global Resources Citadel’s Crop Farming division has completed the acquisition of additional farmland in Nigeria’s fertile middle belt region, bringing the division’s total cultivated area to over 5,000 hectares. The expansion supports GRCL’s strategic objective of becoming one of Nigeria’s largest integrated agricultural producers.

The newly acquired land is situated in a region known for its favourable soil conditions and dual-season rainfall patterns, enabling year-round cultivation of staple crops including maize, rice, and soybeans. The division plans to deploy its existing mechanised farming fleet and precision irrigation systems to bring the new plots into full production within two growing seasons.

This expansion aligns with GRCL’s broader vision of building self-sufficient agricultural supply chains that reduce Nigeria’s reliance on imported food commodities while creating employment opportunities in rural communities.
