RECORD
OF OPERATION 1981 – DATE
Through extensive research on this crop,
UA-EKADOH & CO. the first indigenous Agro-Consultancy outfit in grapevine
production in Nigeria, had at inception used the northern part of Nigeria for
its related viticulture study-work. To this effect, not fewer than hundred home
gardens have planted grapevine in Zaria, a few others have also sprung up in
Bauchi, Abuja, Kano, Katsina including Plateau and Niger States. Similarly,
UA-EKADOH & CO in collaboration with its technical partner Richter S.A of
France and established in 1994 that grapevine can also thrive well in the
southern part of Nigeria despite of its heavy rainfall.
The lucky areas include Awo-mama in Imo
State, Isilele Okija in Anambra State, Ikot Efange, Calabar, in Cross Rivers
State, Alakuko in Lagos State, etc. Cameroun and Senegal with almost the same
climate condition as Nigeria were used for the projects. There, the plantations
are thriving as well with high yields.
This company caters for the various need
of Agric. Service all over the country and beyond; and boast of being the for
most Nigeria company to succeed in producing a variety of grapevine ‘Ekadoh
Black that can grow in all parts of this country, baring fruits at all seasons.
Total Soluble Solid (TSS) up to 20% Muscat flavor. Titratable acidity 0.8 – 0.9
good keeping quality. Producing fruit at all season. It is also the first to
introduce the sport Ph Soil Tester and sport Moisture Tester in
agricultural sphere in Nigeria. All the seedlings produced by UA-EKADOH are
capable of yielding after one to two years of planting.
We have offered our extension service to
many Nigerians and trained over hundred of people. In regards to this training,
many Nigerians today are self-employed i.e. we bridge the gap of unemployment
as directed by the federal government of Nigeria. The company has published a
book on Orchard crops cultivation, titled “THE WORLD TREASURE (2) BONE MEAL:- THE SECRET FOR SUCCESSFUL TREE CROP AND
ANIMAL PRODUCTION (3)THE HEALING POWER OF FOOD, VEGETABLE AND FRUIT” The three
books are all about Viticulture/Horticulture Principles.
A testimony of its immense contribution
in Agriculture was manifested in 1993, a community, Akwa Ibom Welfare
Association (AKWA) residing in Zaria, Kaduna State, awarded a certificate of
recognition to UA-EKADOH & COMPANY with the Title “ADAHO UFORO EKONODO (THE
WORLD PILLARS OF RICHES) along with thirteen (13) other Akwaibomites in their different
filed of endeavour.
PROSPECTS:
UA-Ekadoh & Co. offers you the
technical expertise towards viticulture (short cut to wealth). On the local
market, many opportunities also exist in Nigeria for fruit producers. Large
quantities of fruit flavour are imported into the country annually by the
Bottling Companies, Pharmaceutical Companies and Distillers among others.
Researches have shown that total world’s demand for fruits will
continue to outweigh supply beyond the foreseeable future. Obviously,
investment in fruit production is a step in the right direction. Nigeria is
short of fruit crop producers. African needs her own fruits, and the world
wants you to fill yawning paucity of supplies.
Farmers and prospective investors in grapevine plantation are fortunate
enough to have a group of Nigerians; UA-Ekadoh
& Co. who specializes in grapevine farming as part of their
professional training, with over nineteen (19) years experience.
