Ikun Dairy Farm, which is now fully operational for livestock and milk production following a $5 million investment by Promasidor, has increased its total cows to 173. Within the next 18-24 months, 10,000 litres of milk is expected to be produced from the factory. #JKFatWork 
49 of the 173 cows in the Dairy Farm have been confirmed pregnant (out of the 51 cows inseminated) and 2 calves have been produced to date. #JKFatWork #Agribusiness
Also, over 250 Ha of land has been cleared by the state government for the cultivation of hay, brachiaria, and cassava at the Dairy Farm. #JKFatWork #Agribusiness
The investment of $5 million into Ikun Dairy Farm by Promasidor is also being used to purchase equipment, provide the appropriate herd of cattle, and develop an out-grower scheme with local farmers for providing feed for the cattle. #JKFatWork #Agribusiness
The estimated daily milk production of 10,000 litres within the next 18-24 months will require a speedy and reliable mode of transportation for rapid delivery to local markets and exports. #JKFatWork #Agribusiness
This sector will therefore be a huge economic benefit for the Ekiti Agro-Allied cargo connectivity. The cargo airport, a supporting enabler of economic growth, will enable Ekiti State to connect to distant markets and national/global supply chains in a swift and reliable manner.
As productivity and revenue increase, Ikun Dairy Farm will create hundreds of jobs directly, and indirectly and also improve the economy of Ikun-Ekiti, the host community, surrounding communities, and Ekiti State at large. #JKFatWork #Agribusiness
