The delivery is part of a large-scale cooperation agreement between the two countries
Nigeria has received the first shipment of Belarusian agricultural machinery, including 2,000 tractors and over 9,000 pieces of agricultural equipment. The delivery is part of a large-scale cooperation agreement between the two countries aimed at modernising Nigeria's agricultural sector. This is reported by DNE Africa, a partner of TV BRICS.
The delivery, made as part of the agreement signed in September 2024, is an important step in Nigeria's efforts to modernise agriculture.
Nigerian Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari, confirmed the arrival of the shipment, noting that the partnership with Belarus will enhance the use of mechanised agriculture, increase food production, and improve the overall efficiency of the agricultural sector.
The plan envisages ensuring Nigerian farmers have access to modern agricultural tools, increasing crop yields, and boosting food production. In addition to machinery, the agreement includes training programmes conducted by Belarusian agricultural experts to upgrade the skills of Nigerian farmers in mechanised farming techniques.

Joao Paulo CapobiancoBrazilian Minister of the Environment and Climate Change"The BRICS countries have a very high level of responsibility because they share an important part of the world's biodiversity, landscapes, populations, food production and water resources. So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification" -
