Project name: Meat Processing and packaging

Project location: Kaduna, Nigeria

Project description:

In a state like Kaduna state the third most populated state in Nigeria, a standard abattoir seems a far fetch reality, hence noticing this problem and the unhealthy way meat and meat products are being processed, we procured a site for establishing one whilst aiming to gradually develop it and healthily process and package staple meat products for consumption which include cow, goat, chicken,turkey meat and grass-cutter.

Goal and purpose of the project:

In Kaduna state of Nigeria, my potential market area, there currently exists no standard abattoir or slaughter house to healthily process meat products being consumed by the populace. Hence there exists a high risk of epidemic; the establishment of one cannot be overstated.
With an increasingly enlightened populace and working based on minimum health requirements for establishing an abattoir set by the state ministry of health, we have procured 3plots of land to site the abattoir with advisory support from the veterinary council of Nigeria and an in-house veterinary doctor to properly and healthily process and package the most staple meat products like cow, goat, turkey, chicken etc. for consumption.
