VIV organises animal protein summit in Nigeria

Nigeria’s agribusiness leaders,
organisations and authorities will partake in
a one-day international summit to explore
the development of the country’s poultry
production sector
The event will take place in Nigeria’s capital city,
Abuja, on 15 January 2014 and is being organised
by the VIV Europe team.
Nigeria is expecting that its demand for animal
protein will rise quickly over the next few years,
with its population set to reach 700mn and the
government has listed agriculture and food
production as its top priorities to meet the
challenge.
It also recently revealed that the expansion of the
poultry and aquaculture sectors are a key target.
Nigeria will be the first African nation to hold an
event under the official title of the VIV
International Nigeria Summit, which will include
some roadshow activities visiting various
continents on behalf of the VIV Europe 2014
global expo for poultry and livestock husbandry
and processing.
Global experts in poultry and aquaculture will host
the event, providing examples of technical best
practices as the foundation for the expansion of
animal protein supplies from Nigerian farms.
