long live K1. Did anyone see how that fulani greeted him? He has yorubalise him in ijebu

helinues:
Yet, the Fulani herdsmen that have been in The business for decades find it hard to have their own ranch..

Except if they have another mission

for centuries

What makes you think that I am referring exclusively to government ranches? Foreign private firms, British people established ranches in Nigeria because they wanted to make money and all the ranches collapsed.

insecurity chased the foreigners away. Fulani herdsmen militia were also attacking other tribes rearing cattle, saying its their exclusive right to rear cattle in Nigeria.


My father worked under Ministry of Agriculture and was at a time Director at FADAMA or so.


Another thing you should understand about white owned businesses in Nigeria is the Nigerian factor; Nigerians working for them steal from them and making their running cost so high that its difficult for them to remain competitive in business in Nigeria.


Foreign owned businesses in Nigeria can only survive in high profit business ventures like oil and gas where the profit and revenue from the business will absorb the numerous stealing by their staffs. This is why logistics and haulage and transport companies spring up daily and die daily in Nigeria - stealing by their staffs, the Nigerian factor.

Insecurity in the 1940s??

British people made up their minds to leave Nigeria entirely, except in oil exploration which they remained through their national oil conglomerates.


So don't count those time please.

There's a book written by a foreign author years ago that once documented the failings and issues with the Nigerian ranches. Tse Tse fly, diseases were one of them. Then finance and a lack of uptake with milk from the cows saw very little margins gained.

I believe they could study from places like Kenya where they have successfully replicated ranches and in house, we have Shonga farms in Kwara state which has a ranch too.

Tsefly disease would be easier to control in a ranch than moving cows up and down
It seems though that generally The main TseTse fly disease ; trypanosomiasis is no longer so prevalent as it was before because we no longer hear about it as a public health issue

The main thing to successful ranching is supply of food either produced by the farmer or bought from local producers

This generally tends to be maize but it seems cassava is a good alternative. Why can't farmers buy cassava from farmers

Also even grass can be cut , dried and pressed into blocks during the rainy season.


Cassava also can be dried

Both can be transported by rail anywhere they are required


The main challenge is these efforts require capital investment too bring down the prices to increase viability.
Cassava farmers are mainly small players but with huge investment cassava can transform the industry not just for cattle but for goats and pigs
