Nigeria Livestock Development Programme
The Nigeria Livestock Development Project (NLDP), conceived by Nestlé Nigeria, seeks to develop more than 1000 hectares of grazing area to demonstrate how the establishment of improved pasture can increase productivity of indigenous cattle and contribute to the professionalization of settled Fulanis as dairy farmers.
Projects Locations
The selected location for the implementation of the NLDP is the Paikon Kore Grazing Reserve in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), owned by the FGN. The partnership brings together a set of value chain stakeholders with the collective capacity to deepen and accelerate an inclusive business model in dairy, with the FGN allocating 1,000ha to Nestlé’s as its support to the programme.
