Valentine Chickens

In 2005, The Local Government of Kwara State, Nigeria invited a group of Zimbabwean Farmers to start up a commercial farming project in an effort to increase Commercial Farming in the Country. Each candidate was offered a 1,000 hectare plot with roughly 300 hectares cleared for cropping and an option of own choice as to what to farm. 13 Farmers initially joined the project four of these farmers chose Poultry, eventually forming Valentine Chickens Limited. The Company was established in 2009 and the processing plant completed and ready to go in 2010. An abattoir and feedmill, together with 8 poultry houses (two per farm), capable of holding 22,000 birds each were established and production began in Mid 2010.
