Buhari Agricultural Policies Yielding Positive Results Four Nigerian firms begin local production of milk In line with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) policy to discourage the importation of milk, four dairy products manufacturers have commenced the process for the local production of milk, an official has said. The CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, who announced in Abuja on Thursday, gave the names of the companies. They are FrieslandCampina WAMCO, Neon Agro, Chi Limited and Irish Dairy. He said they have already expressed interest to invest in Bobi Grazing Reserve in Niger State. Bobi Grazing Reserve located in Mariga Local Government Area is part of 26 Grazing Reserves gazette under a livestock development initiative by the Niger State government in partnership with the CBN. The reserve has a land area of 31,000 hectares, with about 700 families and 300,000 heads of cattle resident there for the pilot project. Specifics So far, the CBN governor said FrieslandCampina WAMCO and Neon Agro have agreed to acquire 10,000 hectares of land each, while Chi Limited and Irish Dairy are to develop 4,000 hectares each for their local milk production project. The remaining 3,000 hectares will be retained by the state government for its development programmes. Already, as at last Tuesday, September 18, Mr Emefiele said FrieslandCampina WAMCO had cleared a total land area of 695 hectares, with 190 hectares already cultivated with pastures for the livestock. Similarly, he said Chi Limited has also signed contracts for the clearing and planting of pasture on its allocated 4,000 hectares of land. He said Niger State government has cleared and fenced 63 hectares of land in two sites. He said the site has a police post, administrative area and veterinary clinic, with a primary school refurbished, while a clinic is under construction. Also, planting of pasture is currently in progress. Kaduna Besides, in Kaduna State, the CBN governor said Arla Group has existing projects in Damau, Amana, NAPRI Shika and Kagarko. About N12 billion has also been reportedly invested in the development of 6,000 hectares of land in Damau Grazing Reserve under the Bank’s livestock development initiative. In addition, he said Arla is currently refurbishing a milk processing plant and will soon commence milk off-take from 600 farmers in Kagarko. Again, he said the Promasidor Group has commenced work on the 500 hectares land area granted consent to develop Ikun Dairy Farm Project in Ekiti State. Apart from the deployment of 20 tractors for land preparations at the site, the company has also commenced the planting of pasture for the livestock. Plateau, Abuja For integrated Dairies Limited, an indigenous dairy company based in Jos, Plateau State, the company has engaged the Plateau State government and key interest groups on the development of Wase Grazing Reserve. Nestle Plc has indicated interest in developing its dairy project in Abaji, in the Federal Capital Territory. The CBN said it has contacted the relevant government departments to fast-track land acquisition and issuance of title documents. “For these investments to bear fruits, the support of the state governments is needed through land, and other infrastructural amenities,” the CBN governor said. End of an era? Mr Emefiele said the CBN was determined to end the era when the country spent about $1.5 billion annually on the importation of dairy products like milk, yogurt, cheese and other milk derivatives. He said a situation where over 95 per cent of milk products consumed in the country was imported was not healthy for the country’s economy, considering that the country’s dairy industry had huge potentials to create millions of jobs and foreign exchange savings. The sector, he said, has an undeveloped meat processing infrastructure, declining tannery operations, inadequate large-scale private investments in cold storage and transportation, and insecurity arising mostly from pastoralists/farmers clashes, rustling, and other socio-economic challenges. With over 85 per cent of the country’s cattle, estimated at over 20 million, owned and managed by smallholders, he said the CBN has resolved to support subsistent and nomadic herdsmen who want to be integrated in the scheme. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/agriculture/agric-news/353385-four-nigerian-firms-begin-local-production-of-milk.html/amp/ 12 Likes 1 Share

Way to go. We can't just be earning forex only from oil. With the new African Free Trafe Zone, Nigeria should become a major agricultural exporter to Africa. That is why the move by Kano State Government to create ranches in Falgore is very much welcome. Click here to see 2 Ways Husbands Can Avoid Calamity In Their Marriage 38 Likes 2 Shares |

What breaks my heart most is that all CBN's effort to give Nigerians upper hand and make us control our economy by discouraging forex for import and encouraging loans and forex to manufacturers, isnt being utilize , it is still Chinese, Europeans, Indians and lebanese that would setup this local factory and still benefit from all this, while our Politicians take money abroad, while our youths are worked like donkeys and paid peanut by this indians and the rest of the youths simply do nothing but wail online CBN already made it known that $1.5bn dollars is spent annually that is N540,750,000,000 billion up for grab annually., Smart Graduates would already group them self into clusters of small professionals and understudy the local fulani method of rearing cattles and modernise it to give more yeild, and make a perfect bankable Business Plan and aggressively begin looking for AFDB loan, Bank Of Agriculture Loan, CBN Anchor borrowers Loan , that of Bank of Industries or Partnership and Investors even if its to partner Yahooboys who are trying to go legit, Afterall all graduate were given a project topic and we all wrote it spending money on research just to earn a mere certificate ... 116 Likes 13 Shares |

Another lame propaganda to justify the failing. Ruga project. Chi imports milk concentrates from Holland. If any private sector investment wants to try her hands on diary we indeed encourage it, let them acquire lands, cattle etc build their ranches. and and not forcing natives to relinquish their lands to aliens from Chad& Mali to come and settle in the name of livestock project. I leave Buhari with this question, since pig is also live stock, can the Sokoto state govt please allocate me a land close to Usman Dan fodio mosque in sokoto, I want to start a pig farm? 4 Likes 1 Share |

As much as this is positive development, the title is misleading, they have not started actual production of milk - they are simply acquiring and clearing the land required to do so. Mods should learn to title posts correctly. The report clearly states:
