ABUCONS had also specialised in agricultural consultancy services such as specialised baseline surveys. The company also engaged in poultry farming with a fully established poultry farm with state-of-the-art facilities. In a dramatic move to provide a lasting solution to the low level of agricultural mechanisation in the country, ABUCONS has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Qicheng Engineering and Machinery Company Ltd, Hong Kong China for a joint venture. The joint venture is aimed at manufacturing, importation and assembly of small scale, affordable and quality agricultural machineries, implements and equipment. The venture is ensuring that the researchers and scientists of the two companies share their expertise and experience with researchers and academics of Ahmadu Bello University and the nation in general. The venture is likely to facilitate and promote technology transfer, expertise in manufacturing, fabrication, multi-purpose engineering machinery, tools and spare parts between the two countries (China and Nigeria).
