With a population of over 190 million people and a growth rate of 3-4 per cent, there is definitely a huge market for beef and consumption in Nigeria which gives players in the industry and investors a good playing field.You can prepare meat in different ways for eating, either fried, roasted or dried in Suya form (barbeque). Whichever form it is prepared; beef remains a delicacy which demands can never be met.
There are people who may complain that the hygiene level of abattoirs is not good enough, as a result private are coming up.The demand for beef is aside the fact that the demand for premium quality is in high demands by large retail stores such as SPAR, Shoprite, Ebeano among many others which prefer to buy only the processed meat. This, they say, is to ensure cleaner and easier packaging.
Some of the industries attached to these single livestock include the following mince meat processing plant, operating a cold room ,meat delivery vans, operating a ranch, operating a abattoir, bone meal processing plant, blood meal processing plant, hide and skin processing plant and horn and hoof processing plant.
Meat Processing Plant:
There is a growing need for hygienically prepared and package beef product in Nigeria, and this is basically been fueled by the growing middle class income earners in the country.This trend is further deepen by the need for hygienically prepared and package beef by corporate consumers and used in the production of sausage rolls ,meat pies ,gala. Some of the corporate clients that require the product include hotels, supermarkets, Event planners, fast food eateries and multi-nationals like UAC.
Operating Cold Room Service:
Attaching a cold room to an abattoir is a very lucrative because beefs have a limited shelf live if not properly stored and storage is usually done after the slaughtering, processing and packaging of the product from where it is sold to retail consumers who usually buy bit by bit.The scope of the cold room should be dependent on the size of the market in question...

Meat Delivery Vans:
At least in Lagos it is an offense to sell beef in unhygienic conditions and the Lagos state government pioneered the use of special vans in the transportation of beefs from the abattoir to consumers.This created another market for savvy investors to tap into make good returns on investment .Transportation can be intercity or intracity and we expect this is replicated in other states of the federal.
Operating a Ranch:
Apart from a few well established cattle ranch in the country with organised management system in place, cattle rearing are mostly done by Fulani herdsmen who move from one location to another in search of water and pasture for the stock and they largely operate with less managerial ability hence get little for there effort.There exists a large opportunities for interested investors that want to invest and run a ranch in Nigeria. The opportunities are so great because the market for your product is guaranteed.
