BATN Foundation and Lagos State Government officials and beneficiaries at the launch of the ‘Chicks to Plate’ poultry development project in Lagos.
BATN Foundation has launched a poultry development project in Lagos that will train 200 prospective and existing poultry farmers, as the foundation expands its agricultural partnership with the state government to strengthen food production and create livelihoods.
The “Chicks to Plate” project, implemented with the Lagos State Agricultural Development Authority, will provide participants with practical training in modern poultry production, farm management and agribusiness.
According to a statement on Tuesday, 40 of the participating layer farmers will also receive additional enterprise support to help expand their businesses, according to the foundation.
The project marks the latest phase of an eight-year partnership between BATN Foundation and the Lagos State Government, which began in 2018 with the “Fingerlings to Fork” programme focused on aquaculture.
