FACTORS MILITATING AGAINST DEVELOPMENT OF DAIRY INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA
ESPOUSING — GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS AND INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICES IN FOOD PROCESSING OPERATIONS —
DAIRY INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA. THE ABOVE SHALL BE DISCUSSED UNDER THE FOLLOWING TOPICS.
■ — Dairy Farming In Nigeria.
■ — Dairy Products In Nigeria
■ — Imported Dairy products In Nigeria
DAIRY FARMING IN NIGERIA Dairy farming is obviously the backbone of a viable dairy industry in the league of Dairy producing countries of which Nigeria is not. Various efforts geared towards dairy farming has been cosmetic not commercial enough to support an extensive dairy industry , causing inflated Dairy products in West Africa and Nigeria in particular .
Reasons:
— Absence of infrastructures necessary to support the industry such as
Electricity for cooling large cold storage facilitated at various collection centres and locations for the storage of the highly perishable milk products.
— Lack of refrigerated transportation system for the collection and movement of fresh milk from point to point. .
— Absence of network of distribution system for the finished product with Low shelve life.
DAIRY PRODUCTS IN NIGERIA The main albatross of dairy production is profitability ( breakeven) since all material imputs are imported. hence substitution of some Milk components with local content eg. Milk fat with vegetable fat. ( reducing foreign exchange on Anhydrous Milk fat) Vegetables fat is low in saturated fatty acid and cholesterol making it a suitable alternative.
— SOYA FOODS – In recent times there has been resurgence or shift of interest in Soya foods. Nationally and Internationally the direction is to use soys as a cheap source of high quality protein in society where dairy products are expensive or not easily available. Soya beans has availed the dairy market with various products such as : Soya drinks, Soya concentrate, Soya Ice cream, Soy Yoghurt and others
— In recent times few enterprises have started to establish dairy firms collection centre in some Cattle ranches across Nigeria (Southwest, kano state in particular ) the profitability of such
is being monitored overtime due to high Capital intensive investment required.
IMPORTED DAIRY PRODUCTS IN NIGERIA.
Most dairy products in the market are imported all of which are value chain of milk, these include the followings : Different types of Yoghurt eg, Drinking yoghurt. Greek Yoghurt, , Fruits Yoghurt Frozen Yoghurt. Others are Butter. Chesse, Sour cream, etc. All these are being sold at exorbitant prices at some upscale supermarkets at much higher price than beef.
TOWARDS DAIRY FARM DEVELOPMENT.
— Encouragement of cattle ranches in favourable climatic centres across the country to reduce dependence on imported products.
— With dairy farms in place there will be avalanche of Dairy value chain development.
— There will be increase in the production of Soya foods that will serve as cheaper source/alternative of good quality protein foods.
CONCLUSION
●– Currently in Nigeria, there is no adequate data on Cattles population, the 1984 data as provided by FAO of 13million is still in use — I suggest bodies like AFAN (All Farmers Association of Nigeria )/FGN should take this up. Same goes for Goats, Sheep etc.
●– Steady electricity for cooling is a prerequisite for Dairy production — Dairy like egg is a complete Food. (nutrients – wise) making it highly susceptible to microbial spoilage.
●– Cattle ranches with cross breed of (foreign high milk production Cattles ) with improved locals be encouraged . or the Genetically modified progenies.
●– Nigeria is not in the league of Dairy producing countries hence the need for HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT IN DAIRY PRODUCTION.
Relevant authorities must encourage the Crew Working Group (CWG) for Human resources development in the sector .

-Antioxidants
Cashews are rich in carotenoids and Polyphenols antioxidants that helps reduce inflammation and offers protection from disease.
-Low Sugar
Cashews are low in sugar which helps reduce the risk for serious diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes, Lung disease, Heart disease, Liver disease, fatty buildup and enhances weight loss.
-Rich in Fibers
Fibers are very important to normalize bowel movement, also increases weight and size of stool thereby improving transit.
-Plant Protein
Cashews contain phytonutrients and quicker muscle repair property. Plant proteins have been linked to a lower risk of stroke heart disease
-Essential micro-nutrients
Cashew kernels are a good source of copper, magnesium and Manganese (nutrients for energy production, brain health, immunity and bone health
).
-Reduce cholesterol
Too much cholesterol in the body cause plaque buildup in arteries which can lead to atherosclerosis (cardiovascular disease).

TYPES OF COLD CHAINS
-SHOCK FREEZERS
Shock Freezers are professional equipment that controls temperature necessary for keeping products fresh for a long time.
While preserving the products the equipment makes to keep undamaged nutritional value of the products after being defrosted. The equipment is made to consists of Double Stage Semi Hermatic compressors. The Shock freezers system allows to lower the temperature very rapidly up to -180°C degrees. Freezing is provided by air coolers of it by blowing over fronted surface of the wagon. This enables to freeze down quickly in cold air flow. The room air should not exceed 35°/-40.°C. Besides, it’s proven to be a low-waste and environment friendly system.
COLDSTORAGE
This system is manufactured and installed with the entire components like it is ready to use. It could be of mobile device.
This system can be disassembled so it can be moved to other places.
Cold storage consist of the following levels and types of preserving:
-Cold-rooms 🙁 +16° / +5°C)
-Cold storage Rooms (+5°/-5°C)
-Freezing Rooms : (-18°/-23°C)
-Shock freezer :(-35°/-40°C) .
DEEPFREEZE ROOMS.
These are for preserving products such as meat, poultry etc. For a long time. They are preserved under temperatures not exceeding – 18°/-23°C. In order to isolate these rooms 150mm width sandwich panels are used.
COLD ROOMS
Cold rooms are used to keep baked goods, chocolates etc.
The cold rooms prevent bacteria from growing. Low ventilation allows workers to work without endangering their health which is very important aspect too.
