Cross River ramps up chicken processing at 24000 birds per day factory as ultramodern poultry begins evacuation of birds

Poultry production and protein intake in Cross River in particular and Nigeria in general recently received a major boost as the ultra-modern Cross River state Poultry Farm Limited began the evacuation of birds from the facility to the Cross River Chicken Processing factory.

Situated at Odukpani, an outskirt of Calabar, the Poultry farm and the chicken processing factory both have installed capacity of 24000 birds per day.

The factory and the poultry are part of agro-based industries established by the administration of Governor Ben Ayade to create an economy for the state as well as jobs for the youth.

According to the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Mr Christian Ita, Calachika which has been ready since last December suffered from inadequate supply of birds prompting the governor to speed up completion of the Poultry Farm.

"We are happy and excited that we are on the verge of producing chicken for commercial consumption. 

So, these are good times. Some persons who thought that this was all a mirage can now see that it is real. The birds are available and as such Calachika will be producing daily near it’s installed capacity.”

Production Manager of Calachika Chicken processing factory, Mr. Zia Ul Haq Abbasy, said the birds are of good quality and expressed confidence that "very soon, our chicken will be all over the Nigerian market. As you can see the birds we have here are of good quality.”

"The factory has an installed capacity of 24000 birds per day and based on my experience in 20 years of poultry processing, I don't find anything lacking in this system that Governor Ayade has installed here", Ziah, a Pakistani, further said.

The factory, he disclosed, was ready to get all the certification needed for export of its products as it has the capacity to expand to 60000 birds per day.

Semikolo:
This is commendable... But wait oooh how do the get their chickens

DubaiLandLord2:
They have their poultry and they might also be buying from people involve in rearing chicken.

DubaiLandLord2:
Good news

We need more of this in different part of Nigeria.

I wander why Nigerian billionaires are not investing much in large scale poultry.

Dem dey kill over 20 million chicken daily in the USA.

Some companies in the USA do sell millions of egg per year.

Make the Cross River Government establish one in Lagos too.

Upjis:



You are sick in the head...

NGpatriot:
This is because they don't have terrorist sit at home in Cross River.

People are working in CR, instead of slaughtering people like they are doing in the SE CR is slaughtering chicken to boost their growing economy, bringing investments and creating job.

How many family can afford a full chicken per week

We need first to develop good seeds for corn and soy that can yield 6 to 10 tons per and 3 tones per hectares respectively ....

It cost 7000 for 25kg of feeds now that's 3.5kg per 1000 which is on the high side

If we developed the seeds we can make it at 3000 per 25kg which would give u 8kg or so per 1000

For a conversion rate of 1:2 for the first 8 weeks ...we produce a 3kg for around #400 feed , birds n drugs can be dropped to 500 so that's 900 to raise sale for #1500 ...that's only when families can buy them

For now it's not viable
