Project actions and objectives
Agricultural development in Nigeria
Through partnerships with international research institutes, we are developing projects within our concessional areas. Thanks to the feasibility studies by the Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST), we have raised awareness around opportunities in the agricultural sector since the late 1990s. The Green River Project, promotes programmes that foster employment, establishes cooperative societies and associations, and provides practical information on the use of agricultural products.

Agricultural, food and financial education
The GRP involves the population by ensuring greater availability of food and easier access to financial services. Through a microcredit programme for young people and women, the Green River Project aims to encourage the economic growth and promote banking habits of the communities.
The impact on the environment and the community
Based on a comprehensive Agricultural Extension Service Delivery system (AESD), the GRP aims to increase agricultural productivity in the Niger Delta and to prevent further deterioration of the soil through the use of better farming techniques. It also aims to enhance farmer incomes, and thereby the quality of life of farmers, through the adoption of improved and sustainable farming systems. In addition, soil analysis, fertilization plans and soil conservation are carried out to minimize the environmental footprint.
