Livestock account for one third of Nigeria’s agricultural GDP, providing income, employment, food, farm energy, manure, fuel and transport. They are also a major source of government revenue. Traditional livestock production in Nigeria is varied and complex. Livestock, especially ruminants, are the most efficient users of uncultivated land and can contribute substantially to crop production.
The commercial meat production sector and most of the commercial poultry and pig sectors are mainly produced by families, not on a commercial basis.
The target of the project is to provide high-quality Bull’s meat products to the local market.
The concept of the project is to create a sustainable and profitable Bull’s meat integration that will include the following components:
✓ Feed center;
✓ Field crops and grain production of 300 Ha rain-fed / 100 Ha under irrigation;
✓ A 1,000 – 3,000 “heads” farm;
✓ Service area.
The Bull’s farm will be based on the local herd and imported breeding bulls with genetics for high meat production.
The Budget- The estimated budget for the Meat project is 5,630,000 USD, CFR Lagos Port, all equipment and construction supervision included.
