About Us

The broader goals of AFRICAN CASTOR ACRES Foundation are to support the vitality and sustainability of the region’s agriculture, to build a long-term economic self-reliance and food security among participants and their communities, and to expand access to high-quality, culturally appropriate foods in under-served areas through production of locally-grown foods.

AFRICAN CASTOR ACRES Foundation will provide diverse services for the youths such as locating farmland, education, training, business development, production and marketing assistance through strategic alliance with the big players in the global market. The project provides opportunities for disadvantaged farmers, preserves farmland and promotes agriculture.

This project will be the first initiative in this direction nationwide to assist the Nigerian youths and small –scale farmers to develop commercial farming opportunities and interests in castor beans production and distribution in the global market.

Our work focuses primarily in Nigeria and especially the south eastern parts of the country due to the suitability of the soil for the cultivation of the castor beans and because of their population makeup, a strong interest in agriculture amongst the people, and the support of community organizations.
