Ekiti State is set to be home to West Africa’s biggest duck
farm.
In a statement made available to The Nation, Fountain Ducks Farms Limited will occupy over 70 hectares of land, employ 300 direct workers and produce about 16, 000 ducklings per day.
The initiator of the project and Managing Director of the farm, Rev. Gabriel Ayorinde, said, “Fountain Duck Farms will be a fully integrated agribusiness which will manufacture required feed in-house, install its own hatchery, with capacity to make poultry farms from neighbouring states benefit from its services.”
The investors, who recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Fountain Holdings Limited, are currently inspecting sites to determine a choice location for the duck farm.
Ayorinde also said the ducks that will be imported from the United States of America and Europe are choice species identified as the best quality for eggs and meat production which will improve protein intake of Ekiti people and others.
According to Ayorinde, duck meat also has high export value and potential to generate foreign exchange thereby boosting the revenue of the state and Nigeria.
