[quote author=mmb post=80023759]Aliko Dangote, president of Dangote Group, will own 50,000 cows by 2019, and produce 500 million litres of milk per year.

The group, principally owned by Africa’s richest man, plans to invest $3.8 billion in sugar and rice and $800 million in dairy production in the next three years.

According to World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates, Nigeria needs about 1.5 billion litres of milk annually.

US department of agriculture also puts Nigeria’s “insufficient” milk import at $225 million per year, stating that the country’s dairy market has a potential in excess of $3 billion.

With Dangote’s drive, the group will produce a third of the country’s ideal demand and nearly all of its current import.

According to Bloomberg, the company seeks to expand and deal with a shortage of dollars needed to import raw materials.

The conglomerate plans to increase its production of sugar to 1.5 million metric tonnes a year by 2020 from 100,000 tons now and is seeking to add 1 million tonnes of rice.

In an interview on Tuesday, Edwin Devakumar, executive director at Dangote, said lack of foreign exchange means companies need to invest in local agriculture to help meet demand for food from Nigeria’s population of more than 180 million.

“All raw sugar has to be imported today, same thing for flour milling,” Bloomberg quoted Devakumar to have said.

Dangote, whose cement unit is Nigeria’s biggest listed company, has been investing in agriculture as the country’s government seeks to diversify away from oil, which accounts for 90 percent of the nation’s export earnings and the bulk of revenue.

The economy, which plunged into its first recession in a quarter-century last year amid falling crude prices, is forecast by the World Bank to expand by 1.2 percent this year.

Dangote plans to cultivate 350,000 hectares (864,850 acres) of land for sugar cane and add 200,000 hectares for rice, according to Devakumar.

The company has ordered five plants for sugar milling and 10 for rice from Switzerland to be located in the north of the country, he said.

Do note sir, that Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Imo and Ebonyi States, put together equal, 29525KM², while Kogi alone is 29833KM², meaning the entire South East is a little less than Kogi State in land mass.
Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti States put together equal to 76320KM², Lagos is 3345KM².
Niger State is 76363KM², meaning
Niger State alone is more than the entire Southwest States, excluding Lagos.
Sir, without been mischievous, the north have more than enough land to take care of NLTP.
The concentration of Muhammadu Buhari led Government, should be how to make the North more habitable for his people, this I believe all Nigerians will ready support in every way possible.
Sir, may I appeal to you, to use your office to initiate NLTP as a project to make the North habitable for Herders and their flocks through her programmes.
Do have the highest regard of our organisation and the support of all well meaning Nigerian in this direction.
Yours, in search of a better and greater Nigerian.

Nigeria's problem is opportunity for Dangote to make more money. That's the spirit of entrepreneur; we are all shouting herdsmen, RUGA, some people are already seeing the opportunity to make cool cash.

Entrepreneur will forever be rich because they are there to solve your inflected problem and make their cool cash.

Thank you OGA DANGOTE!

That's very good, Nigeria fail to know that this is a very good spot for making good profits. You can sell the cow milk to confectionary stores that would need it, or even big departmental stores before you know you've become a millionaire.

And to me it doesn't take much, all you need is to have a large field or space, as I assume most of us have lands in our villages and all you have to do is buy four or three cows, immunize them and to the necessary stuff, then you've started production. You can even educate some Fulani people to tender the cows for you, while you pay them salary. In that way, we would be developing ourselves. God bless you.
can you compare fulani herdsmen to Agricultural Extension graduates?

He loves throwing money at things and believes his billions will fetch him success in business. Why can't he just diversify in the sector he knows best? Like having all kinds of Cement, cement of all colours or even start making Bricks, Blocks and even Paint- products that are related to the building industry.

Any smart entrepreneur with a couple of Millions of Naira will take Dangote to the cleaners in a matter of years. Hmn.
