Nigeria’s ongoing drive to modernise its agricultural sector has gained fresh momentum as a high-level delegation led by the Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, and the Director-General of the Nigeria–China Strategic Partnership (NCSP), Mr. Joseph Tegbe, began a series of strategic engagements with leading agribusiness enterprises in Beijing, China.
The delegation toured Beijing Doudian Yisheng Halal Meat Industry Co. Ltd and CP Food Layers and Eggs Ltd, two major players within China’s livestock and poultry ecosystem.
The visits form part of sustained high-level engagements aimed at accelerating the development of Nigeria’s livestock sector and promoting agro-industrial growth in Kaduna State and other parts of the country.
According to officials, the engagements are designed to attract technical expertise, investment, and modern production practices that can strengthen Nigeria’s agricultural value chain and enhance food security.
The Beijing engagements also complement earlier NCSP interactions with DQY Ecological Farm, a key subsidiary of the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) Group and one of China’s most advanced agricultural technology platforms.
Stakeholders said the facility tours and meetings underscore Nigeria’s commitment to leveraging international partnerships to modernise livestock production, improve processing capacity, and deepen value addition across the agricultural sector.
The initiative is expected to support job creation, boost exports, and position Kaduna State as a major hub for livestock and agro-industrial development, while contributing to broader national agricultural transformation goals.
