Description
Adapalm (Ohaji/Egbema Farm Settlement) was founded in 1953 by Eastern Region’s Premier Michael Okpara and later expanded from 4,000–4,310?ha under governors Asika and Mbakwe.
Imo’s palm plantation journey reflects a vibrant past, prolonged decline. The state's favorable climate, with its high rainfall and fertile soil, makes it ideal for cultivating oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). Oil palm plantations in Imo State have long been a major source of livelihood for many farmers and have contributed to the region's local economy.
