Hon. Ladi Adebutu has a strong passion for agriculture, seeing it as a key driver of Nigeria’s growth and self reliance. He believes farming is more than a livelihood, it is a powerful tool for reducing unemployment, empowering youth, and ensuring food security.
His commitment goes far beyond advocacy. As a hands on agriculturist, he owns and operates a farm, including what is regarded as the largest pig farm in South West Nigeria, if not the largest in the country. Through this large scale agricultural enterprise, he demonstrates in practical terms that farming can be modern, profitable, and transformative.
He consistently supports innovative and mechanized farming practices while encouraging young people to embrace agriculture as a viable, respected, and rewarding venture. For Adebutu, agriculture represents both opportunity and sustainability, making it central to his vision for a stronger, more independent nation.
