FCTA SAPZ

The Special Agro-industrial Processing Zone (SAPZ) Project is part of the Feed Africa Strategy launched by the African Development Bank (AfDB) to transform Agriculture into globally competitive, inclusive and business oriented sector that will generate gainful employment, create wealth and improve quality of life. 

SAPZs are spatial initiatives designed to concentrate agro-processing activities within areas of high agricultural potential to boost productivity and integrate production, processing, and marketing of selected commodities. 

The SAPZ Project is aligned with the Nigeria’s Medium-Term Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) 2017–2020 goal, the National Agricultural Technology Innovation Policy (NATIP) 2022-2027, and the National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP) 2019-2028.

It aims to support inclusive and sustainable agro-industrial development and enhance the competitiveness of the agriculture sector through promotion of Livestock (Beef and Dairy) value chains in FCT.
