An Overview Of Ekiti State's Ikun Dairy Farm by naptu2: 12:55am On May 27, 2021 |
The Ekiti State Government and Promasidor Nigeria Limited (makers of Cowbell and Loya Milk) signed a joint venture agreement to resuscitate the moribund Ikun Dairy Farm. This thread by the Ekiti State commissioner of finance and economic development, Akin Oyebode, chronicles the process of resuscitating the farm, from the signing of the agreements up till the beginning of production. It contains tweets, pictures, videos and updates from 2019 up till a few days ago (2021). Akin Oyebode @AO1379 Jul 23, 2019 Ekiti State and Promasidor agree on a roadmap to resuscitate the moribund Ikun Dairy Farm via a PPP. Today was a good day! https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1153697853803507714 10 Likes 1 Share

Aug 21, 2019 One month after agreeing the roadmap on Ikun Dairy Farm, the MD of Promasidor led a team of experts to conduct a due diligence exercise on the farm. Started with a kick off meeting yesterday. https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1164178249204883456 5 Likes 1 Share

Aug 21, 2019 Started with a visit to the Onikun of Ikun. Community relations is a very important box you must tick to ensure capital is optimized. Loved his short and precise address. https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1164182937954344963 4 Likes 1 Share |

Aug 21, 2019 The MD of Promasidor, my good friend, Anders Einarsson, will get a proper traditional title when this is done. Early days, but we hope this deal will close soon, and put people in jobs. https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1164184148325687296 4 Likes 1 Share |

Aug 21, 2019 Met a herder around the farm, his cows produce about 2 litres of milk per day, nowhere close to enough; also suffer from bouts of foot and mouth disease. These are the people ripe for an outgrower scheme. Sure you get the point. https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1164185272621264896 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Aug 21, 2019 The serious work starts now. Understand what’s needed to run the farm; what products to make and who to sell to; build a business case; agree the shareholding structure. That’s before deploying capital and starting production. End https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1164185676797136896 3 Likes 3 Shares

Oct 12, 2019 Land clearing and farm house renovation in progress. Fingers crossed, planting will start next month. We need to close multiple issues: financing/shareholding, land prep, recruitment and infrastructure upgrade. https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1183058360821866497 2 Likes 1 Share

Jun 9, 2020 Spent a few hours at Ikun Dairy Farm to inspect the progress. We now have 30 indigenous workers on the farm, expecting 150 more cows in a few weeks, with 40 inseminated. Forgot to take pictures of the farm houses, but I’ll be back there soon. https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1270354161645883393 3 Likes 1 Share |

Jul 20, 2020 For those rightly asking if the farm will be mechanized. The answer is clearly, yes. But we need to energize the location first, which is why I’m pleased we now have 500kVA transformer installed. https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1285255618606125061 5 Likes 1 Share

Dec 27, 2020 An exciting update. Our first batch of Jersey cows being loaded to the isolation centre in the US, ahead of a flight to Nigeria next year. We expect at least 250 cows on the first flight. https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1343118741769494528 3 Likes 2 Shares

Feb 9 Got 41 of c. 250 heifers in today, due to their weight (mostly pregnant) and available cargo space. Hope to get the other 200+ in very soon. Another tiny milestone hit. https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1359140121749180417 6 Likes 2 Shares

(Naptu2's comment. This caused a stir because one of the cows escaped and was wandering round the Murtala Muhammed Airport while workers tried to capture it). Apr 22 Update: 250 cows arrived this morning, for onward delivery to Ikun Dairy Farm Limited; a JV between @ekitistategov and @PromasidorGroup. We now have 300 jersey cows, and almost 500 in total. We moo-ve! https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1385220828258840592 12 Likes 2 Shares

Re: An Overview Of Ekiti State's Ikun Dairy Farm by naptu2: 1:17am On May 27, 2021 |
May 23 The best part is that 6 of our Jersey cows are now delivering 150 litres of milk per day, compared to 50 litres from 40 indigenous cows. Tells me we will soon hit the 1,000 litre/day mark. https://twitter.com/AO1379/status/1396506592124837892 16 Likes 3 Shares

Nice one. The core North do not want to go through this way of investing into improved breeds and in-farm fodder production but would rather believe it is their God- given right to destroy people's farms in the search for fodder and water. 30 Likes |
