Mbah stated, “Farming is going to play a pivotal role in our quest to grow the economy of Enugu State… We have seen the products we have a comparative advantage in, and I must say that it is heartwarming.”
The governor’s vision includes a future where the state’s food production is so vast that there won’t be enough space to display all the farm products at the next year’s event.
