The BATN Foundation in Lagos has launched a poultry development project aimed at training 200 farmers in modern poultry production. This initiative is part of an expanded partnership with the Lagos State Agricultural Development Authority to strengthen food production and create livelihoods. The "Chicks to Plate" project will provide practical training in farm management, agribusiness, and other relevant skills.
Additionally, 40 layer farmers will receive enterprise support to help grow their businesses. This marks the latest phase of an eight-year partnership between the foundation and the Lagos State Government, which previously focused on aquaculture. The state government aims to increase the share of locally produced food to 50 per cent, up from the current 25 per cent.
With poultry production offering potential for improved access to animal protein and job creation, the new initiative also addresses operational challenges faced by farmers through training in modern production methods.
