Rivers Farmer Sets Productivity Target For 2020

The Chief Executive Officer/Chairman of Vintage Farm and Product, Eze Mike Elechi, has said that his target in 2020 and beyond is to surpass the existing record of the farm.
Elechi made the disclosure in a chat with newsmen during his thanksgiving and his wife’s 50th birthday celebration at the Farm’s Chapel yesterday in Elele in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
He said the plans to take the farm to a higher point was born out of the farm’s recent presentation of the National Order of Productivity Award by the Federal Government.
According to him, the challenge became imperative when he saw the likes of Aliko Dangote and Tony Elumelu on the same list of award with him by the Federal Government.
The former Permanent Secretary Rivers State Ministry of Works, pointed out that such opportunity opened a new window of challenge in his business, thus the need to square it up.
“I was delighted when my farm was nominated alongside Dangote and the likes of Tony Elumelu. To me, such was a call for expansion and more tasks”, he said.
The Vintage farm boss, who recalled starting the year on a sad note, expressed gratitude to God whom he said turned things around in his favour around the last quarter of the year.
He narrated how the farm experienced a boast in its transactions, despite all odds that greeted it at the beginning of 2019.
When asked about the secret of his rapid business growth, he said it was purely an act of God, saying God never disappoints those who trust in Him.
Elechi who gave more insight to his business boom, noted that part of his defence was on the biblical injunction, that said that “ God will contend with those that contend with his children”, pointing out, that he will not renege on his determination to be fair in all his dealings with people.
It would be recalled that Vintage Farm and Product was among the few Nigerian farmers that bagged the Federal Government award on National Productivity Merit Award recently.
