The contract was formalized at a signing ceremony in Dubai, attended by Abdul Samad Rabiu, Founder and Executive Chairman of BUA Group, and Okcul Barlik, CEO of Agrimac Makina Limited.

SAMMAZ77 achieved 5–35% higher yields under combined stressors of fall armyworm infestation, Striga parasitism, and severe drought.

The company’s revenue also climbed 24% year-on-year to N442.1 billion (US$363.6 million), buoyed by strong performances in flour, rice, and pasta segments.

This dramatic rise positions Nigeria as a key player in Russia’s expanding agricultural trade with Africa.

The investment will involve the development of a 5,000-hectare estate.
