1.0 Executive Summary

1.1       Business Overview:
GreenHoof Cattle Ranch Ltd. is a new livestock agribusiness venture to be established in Ifo LGA, Ogun State. The company will specialize in cattle rearing for both beef and dairy production, targeting both wholesale and retail markets in southwestern Nigeria. The business aims to capitalize on Nigeria’s massive meat consumption, dairy imports, and the rising demand for hygienically processed animal protein.

1.2       Mission Statement:
To provide fresh, high-quality beef and dairy products through sustainable ranching practices that prioritize animal welfare, environmental conservation, and local economic growth.

1.3       Vision Statement:
To become a leading provider of beef and dairy products in Nigeria and West Africa by 2030, renowned for ethical practices and product excellence.

1.4       Objectives:

• Raise 250 heads of cattle within the first year
• Produce and sell 80,000 liters of milk and 45,000 kg of beef in Year 1
• Establish supply contracts with abattoirs, butchers, restaurants, and supermarkets
• Achieve break-even within 24 months of operation
• Expand into feed production and meat processing within 5 years

1.5       Business Opportunity:
Nigeria currently consumes over 360,000 metric tonnes of beef annually, yet over 70% of dairy consumption is met through imports. There is a huge gap in local production, especially in the South-West, offering a lucrative entry point for ranching businesses with efficient management.

1.6       Funding Requirements:
₦65,000,000 is required for land acquisition, ranch setup, livestock procurement, veterinary and feed supplies, staff recruitment, and operational capital for the first year.

1.7       Ownership and Legal Structure:
GreenHoof Cattle Ranch Ltd. will be registered as a limited liability company under the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria (CAC) with the founders owning 100% of the equity at inception.

1.8       Location Advantage:
Ogun State offers close proximity to Lagos (a major market hub), fertile pasture land, favorable government policies on agribusiness, and access to technical support from local universities and agriculture extension services.

2.0 Business Description

2.1 Background
Cattle ranching in Nigeria has traditionally been done through nomadic systems which have led to numerous issues including herder-farmer conflicts, low productivity, and disease outbreaks. The Federal Government and international stakeholders are increasingly pushing for commercial ranching as a sustainable alternative. GreenHoof Cattle Ranch Ltd. aims to establish a model ranch that leverages modern livestock management to deliver consistent meat and dairy output.

2.2 Business Goals
The business will commence with a dual-purpose breed stock capable of both meat and milk production such as the Friesian-Bunaji crossbreed. By the end of the third year, the ranch will diversify into pasture cultivation and dairy processing.

2.3 Products and Services

• Live cattle (for sale to butchers and abattoirs)
• Processed beef (packaged and sold wholesale)
• Fresh raw milk (sold to milk vendors and dairies)
• Cow dung (packaged as organic fertilizer)
• Calves (for sale to other farms or expansion)

2.4 Unique Selling Propositions (USP)

• Fully hygienic environment with regular veterinary supervision
• Direct-to-market distribution, cutting out middlemen
• Use of nutrient-rich feed and structured breeding
• Strong branding and traceability of product origin
• Partnership with veterinary colleges for animal health monitoring

2.5 Legal and Regulatory Requirements

• Company registration with CAC
• Livestock movement permits and veterinary inspection clearance
• NAFDAC and SON approval for packaged dairy and beef products
• Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as required for livestock farms
• Land title documentation from Ogun State Ministry of Agriculture
