1.0     EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

GreenHoof Livestock Ventures is a newly established agricultural enterprise focused on large-scale goat farming in Akinyele LGA, Oyo State, Nigeria. The venture will be involved in breeding, rearing, and selling healthy goats (both live and processed meat), targeting meat processors, restaurants, export buyers, and local markets. The business aims to bridge the growing gap between demand and supply of goat meat in Nigeria, which has seen consistent growth due to rising protein consumption.

With a startup capital of ₦15,000,000, GreenHoof will develop a 10-acre integrated goat farm equipped with paddocks, a breeding unit, veterinary care station, and a meat processing unit. The farm will begin with 100 does and 10 bucks of high-quality, fast-growing breeds like the West African Dwarf and Boer goat. The farm will also include training and demonstration sections for aspiring farmers.

1.1 Mission Statement:
To provide premium-quality, healthy, and affordable goat meat products to the Nigerian market while promoting livestock agribusiness as a tool for economic development.

1.2 Vision Statement:
To become a leading name in goat farming and meat processing in Nigeria within 5 years, known for innovation, sustainability, and quality.

1.2 Business Objectives:

• Rear and sell over 1,000 goats annually by Year 3.
• Process and package goat meat under hygienic and standardized conditions.
• Achieve revenue of over ₦30 million annually by Year 4.
• Provide training and employment to rural dwellers in Oyo State.
• Establish sales partnerships with restaurants, markets, and exporters.

1.4 Startup Capital Requirement:
₦15,000,000 (see funding breakdown in Section 8.0)

Expected Revenue (Year 1-5):

2.0     COMPANY DESCRIPTION

GreenHoof Livestock Ventures is founded by a team of experienced agricultural professionals and livestock entrepreneurs committed to sustainable animal production. Goat meat, or "chevon," is an increasingly preferred protein source in Nigeria due to its low cholesterol content and affordability. Despite its popularity, there remains a wide deficit in supply across local markets.

Our farm will be strategically located in Akinyele LGA, Oyo State — an agrarian zone with adequate land, labor, and infrastructural support. The farm will incorporate improved animal husbandry practices, disease control systems, organic feeding, and value chain development such as processing and distribution.

2.1       Legal Status:
The business will be registered as a private enterprise with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and will comply with all local and federal regulations under the Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Service and Oyo State Ministry of Agriculture.

2.2       Key Business Activities:

• Commercial breeding of goats (West African Dwarf, Boer, and Sahelian breeds)
• Meat production (fresh, processed, vacuum-packed)
• Manure production and sales
• Livestock training services

2.3       Unique Selling Proposition (USP):

• Focus on hygiene and quality meat packaging
• Use of climate-resilient and fast-growing breeds
• Partnerships with agro processors and urban retailers
• Affordable pricing model and flexible delivery options
