(Abuja, Nigeria)

On March 30, 2026, a delegation from Shanghai Jianhang Investment Co., Ltd. held formal talks with Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Animal Production in Abuja. The two sides engaged in an in-depth exchange of views on a modern egg-laying chicken farming project and reached an important consensus.

Located in Edo State, the project represents a total investment of tens of millions of dollars and is planned to house a flock of one million laying hens, with a daily egg production capacity of over one million eggs once fully operational. Leveraging approximately 7,000 hectares of company-owned land, the project will achieve 100% self-sufficiency in core feed ingredients such as corn and soybeans, establishing a complete agricultural industrial chain spanning cultivation, livestock farming, and processing.

The Minister of the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development warmly welcomed Shanghai Jianhang’s investment proposal and pledged to provide comprehensive policy support and coordinate with relevant departments to facilitate the project’s swift implementation and commencement of operations. According to the plan, the project is expected to officially begin operations in the second half of 2027.

Once completed, the project is expected to create over a thousand local jobs. The introduction of modern farming techniques will effectively address Nigeria’s supply shortage of poultry eggs and related products, improve the well-being of local residents through a stable supply of high-quality protein, and provide a replicable model of agricultural industrialization for Nigeria’s livestock sector.
