Until the late 1970’s when hydrocarbon was discovered in commercial quantity in Oloibiri, present day Bayelsa state, Agriculture remained the mainstay of the economy contributing over 90% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country as against the less than 40% it now contributes to the GDP of Nigeria with crop production accounting for an estimated 85%, livestock 10% and the balance made up by fisheries and forestry.
Though over 70% of Nigeria’s 923,768 square kilometres land mass is arable and suitable for Agricultural, the nation is a net importer of food products.
In an attempt to tackle the problems facing the Agricultural Sector in Nigeria, Government put in place the National Agricultural Policy, which was jointly formulated by the national stakeholders and International Development Partners and approved by the Federal Government in 2002. Specifically, the National Agricultural Policy assigns supportive roles to the government, while investments in the sector are left to the private sector initiative and in order to encourage investment in the poultry sub-sector, Government approved ban on the importation frozen poultry products and gave other incentives to stimulate investment.
Nigeria, with a population of about 165 million is grossly underprovided with the essential food component, which is protein. For example, data from the FOS, CBN, and FAO indicate that from cattle, less than 2kg of beef is available to an average Nigerian per year and just mere 4kg of eggs per annum is available to each Nigerian.
Egg is one of the products from poultry farms. Eggs are laid by female animals of many different species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish, and have been eaten by humans for thousands of years.
Chickens and other egg-laying creatures are widely kept throughout the world, and mass production of chicken eggs is a global industry. Because of thier fragile nature, eggs need to be handle handled and store properly to reduce loss.
An egg tray is a carton designed for carrying and transporting whole eggs. They are very light in weight and easy to handle.
Paper Egg trays are produced from waste paper recycling to make a uniform pulp suspension and subsequently pressing the pulp in between two molds and additional water drainage by vacuum.
To ameliorate this problem of low-level of protein intake, there is the need for concerted effort, among the various stakeholders to bring about the massive production of protein based food items at competitive costs so that they would be affordable to the general masses. Aside from the other necessary economic reforms, massive investment poultry farming is one way of resolving the problem.
The demand for egg tray is highly influenced by the growth of the poultry sector. The market is there and waiting.
