EBOPS offers thorough training in broiler production, focusing on best practices in poultry farming, business management, and marketing strategies. Participants will gain hands-on experience and receive mentorship from industry experts.
This program is a component of the state’s involvement in the World Bank-supported Livestock Productivity and Resilience Scheme (LPRES), which finances vital infrastructure and resources for livestock production.
This collaboration is expected to enhance agricultural output, boost economic growth, create youth employment, support sustainable MSMEs, and improve food security.
