ITMC News: ITOCO Signs MOU for Indigenous Project in South Africa
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 18, 2023 / ITOCO INC. (OTC:ITMC) is pleased to announce it has signed an MOU with International ASEAN Corporation (IAC) to develop agricultural land rehabilitation Initiatives in land holdings of Ingonyama Trust, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
IAC and ITOCO propose to establish new agricultural businesses using ITOCO's nopal cactus SOIL RESCUE PROGRAM to create new financial, investment and income streams by collaboration with local communities on lands owned by the Trust.
The mission of the Ingonyama Trust is to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the members of the traditional communities living on Ingonyama Trust land by ensuring that land management is to their benefit.
ITOCO's Soil Rescue Program offers a 360-economy that rehabilitates arid lands so they can once again be productive and provide local communities with income, food security, increased land values and more.
"ITOCO's program allows the Ingonyama Trust the opportunity to develop progressive business models for the social and economic upliftment and the empowerment of the members of traditional communities on land administered by the Trust" says Peter Yeung, IAC Managing Partner.
"This exciting potential venture validates our approach to climate change and food security - the world's biggest challenges today," says ITOCO President Stephen McNeill. "We are gaining significant interest from countries in Europe and Africa because our nopal cactus program has the capability of delivering a wealth of benefits."
