A coalition of civil society organisations has raised concerns over a proposed 2.5-billion-dollar investment by Brazilian food company JBS in Nigeria.
The investment agreement, signed in 2024, involves plans by JBS to establish six processing plants for poultry, beef and pork in Nigeria over a five-year period.
Nearly two years after the agreement, the civil society groups staged a rally in Abuja, questioning the potential impact of the investment on local farmers, communities and the environment.
The coalition is calling for greater scrutiny of the proposed investment and raising concerns about the implications of large-scale industrial food production for Nigeria’s food system.
As Nigeria seeks increased investment in agriculture and livestock production, the groups say attention should also be given to protecting local farmers, communities and the environment.
