An Anambra State Born,Chima Christian, Co-founder and CEO of Teva Foods, has announced the company’s ambitious plan to plant 200,000 fruit trees over the next two years. This initiative will complement Teva Foods’ existing greenhouse and open-field farming operations, which are set to be expanded across the South-East region of Nigeria.

In a statement released on Monday and made available to journalists in Awka, Chima described the project as a significant step toward sustainable agriculture and food security in the region.

“It is my pleasure to announce that I will be leading the Teva Foods delegation to Anambra and Enugu States this October,” he said.

According to Chima, the visit marks the beginning of a series of high-level engagements aimed at laying the groundwork for the tree-planting initiative.

He revealed plans to hold consultations with government officials, community leaders, landowners, and private sector stakeholders across the South-East.

“This visit is the start of critical conversations that will help us realize this vision. We’re looking to build strategic partnerships that will ensure the long-term success of the project,” he added.

Teva Foods’ tree-planting initiative is expected to have far-reaching impacts, including environmental restoration, economic empowerment for local communities, and increased availability of fresh, locally grown fruits.

The statement reads:

In addition to the greenhouse and openfield farm operations we are about to roll out in the South East, Teva Foods will be planting 200,000 fruit trees over the next two years. This particular visit to the East is the beginning of the conversations to make that happen.

It is my pleasure to announce that I’ll be leading the Teva Foods delegation to Anambra and Enugu States this October.

While in those two South Eastern states, we will be meeting with government officials, community associations, land owners, and a number of private sector operators.

In addition to the greenhouse and openfield farm operations we are about to roll out in the South East, Teva Foods will be planting 200,000 fruit trees over the next two years. This particular visit to the East is the beginning of the conversations to make that happen.

While also in the South East, we will be touring selected Universities, secondary and primary schools with the singular goal of democratizing the knowledge God freely gave us and inspiring the next generation of smart farmers.

Africa will feed itself and the rest of the world. Ours is to plant the seeds of that future, and encourage others to do same.

Africa’s morning is at hand.
