Double Feats By Xtralarge Farms’ CEO And MD
The popular quote that “ideas rule the world”, especially positive and life-changing ones was recently made manifest when the increasingly popular Wonder Meal, a prime brand of the wave-making Xtralarge Farms bagged the pride-evoking laurel for the Best Premium Quality Food Product Award, by the African Brands Congress (ABC).
Of significance is that Xtralarge Farms is ably led by the highly resourceful and farm-focused couple of Mr. Seyi (CEO) and Mrs. Moji Davids(MD). What more, the prestigious award came soon after the patriotic duo were honoured by the European-American University, Republic of Panama with the doctorate degrees in Business Management and Corporate Leadership.
To the critical observers both honours are well-deserved. For the records, it was the duo who came up with the unique concept of Xtralarge Farms, that has the vision of raising a generation of passionate farmers, by creating various agricultural and investment platforms all across Nigeria and beyond. In addition, the company has launched the first-ever Agritech City in Africa, at Idiroko in Ogun state.
The million-naira question people are asking is what exactly is the Wonder Meal all about? According to Xtralarge Farms, the organic meal, ingeniously produced with unripe plantain and unpolished local rice, appears as smooth as pounded yam ‘swallow food’. It can be consumed along with any kind of local soup such as egusi, efo riro, ogbono, ugu and bitter leaf.
Nutritionally, it works wonders for one’s health because it aides bowel movement thereby avoiding constipation, and so it aids weight loss for people who wish to watch their weight.
What stands the award out is the fact that Wonder Meal promotes organic farming, considered as a sustainable agricultural practice, since it does not use harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides that deplete the nutritional value of foods and have deleterious effects on the environment.
Coming at an auspicious time when the country is grappling with high food inflation rate, the award beams rays of great hope that all is not lost, if only Nigerians can actively participate in hi-tech, organic farming.
