The Kwara State Government is inviting investors to invest in meat processing facilities near the state's border with Benin Republic.
The development of agriculture and other farming activities have been identified as the main potential driver for economic growth in the region.
Investment opportunity
A sizeable cross-border trade in cattle is already taking place in the area. Cattle is being brought in from Benin and are then sold for their meat within Nigeria.
Opportunities exist to set-up a modern abattoir near the border which will allow residents of Kwara State to directly buy the processed meat instead of the cattle.
Market
A ready market for meat products exists among Kwara State's 2.5 million residents.
Incentives to investors
The Kwara State Government is willing to facilitate easy access to land for any serious investors looking to do business in the state. The administration will also assist investors with infrastructure such as roads, electricity, water, etc.
