The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says a new egg powder plant, the largest in Africa and the Middle-East will soon be inaugurated by the Bank’s Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, and the Ondo State Governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), in Emure-Ile area of the state.

Available data shows that Nigeria spends $1billion annually in egg powder imports.

Acting Director, Corporate Communications, CBN, Isaac Okorafor said the plant was established under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement between the Ondo State Government and a private firm, Greenfield Assets Limited.

He said as part of the partnership, the firm had commenced the construction of a poultry farm with the capacity to produce 10 million broilers per annum; a 4,000 birds per hour meat processing plant; a 600,000 layers farm for the production of 100 million eggs per annum; two 20 tonnes per hour feed mill and a 500,000 eggs per day egg powder plant on 150 hectares of land.

He identified the benefits accruable to the country through the establishment of the plant to include 25,000 job opportunities, over $1billion in foreign exchange savings and increased income for poultry farmers.

On his part, Chief Executive Officer of Greenfield Assets Limited, Dr Paul Obanua put the worth of the Nigerian poultry industry at N300 billion with 220 million birds that produced over 770,000 metric tonnes of eggs and 340,000 metric tonnes of poultry meat in 2017.

Under the partnership, Big Dutchman International will provide technical and operational management for the project. Other parties to the project are Marel Food Processing Company BV, a leading global provider of advanced processing systems and services to the poultry, meat and fish industries, and Actini SAS.

The project is expected to gulp N28.4 billion.

We like to waste money in this country.

Before they go on to build this plant, have they considered if there's demand for this cos I don't see a market for the so called egg powder, never heard of it till now.

A simple cost and benefit analysis would have revealed to this government that this project is not feasible now.

There's alot of other project that would bring higher benefits.

egg powder. I need to go read up on that.

truth be told, the rate at which the south west is developing a fear for nigeria d day they decide to leave this unholy amalgamation

Nigeria should have been used as a poultry instead of creating a country

We are too obsessed with 'largest' this, 'first' that, 'biggest' this.... 'longest' that in this country. At the end of it all, it's either under utilized or abandoned.

I hope it comes to pass.....

Powdered eggs are fully dehydrated eggs. They are made using spray drying in the same way that powdered milk is made. The major advantages of powdered eggs over fresh eggs are the price, reduced weight per volume of whole egg equivalent, and the shelf life.

Other advantages include smaller usage of storage space, and lack of need for refrigeration. Powdered eggs can be used without rehydration when baking, and can be rehydrated to make dishes such as scrambled eggs and omelettes.

Powdered eggs appear in literature as a staple of camp cooking at least as early as 1912.

Powdered eggs were used in the United Kingdom during World War II for rationing. Powdered eggs are also known as dried eggs, and colloquially during the period of rationing in the UK, as Ersatz eggs.

The modern method of manufacturing powdered eggs was developed in the 1930s by Albert Grant and Co. of the Mile End Road, London. This cake manufacturer was importing liquid egg from China and one of his staff realised that this was 75% water. An experimental freeze-drying plant was built and tried. Then a factory was set up in Singapore to process Chinese egg. As war approached, Grant transferred his dried egg facility to Argentina. The British Government lifted the patent during the war and many other suppliers came into the market notably in the United States. Early importers to the United States included Vic Henningsen Sr. and others in the United Kingdom.

Powdered eggs have a storage life of 5 to 10 years when stored without oxygen in a cool storage environment.

The process of drying eggs so as to make powdered eggs oxidizes the cholesterol, which has been shown to be helpful at reducing aortic atherosclerosis in animal trials.
