Is this a business for you?
The briefThe opportunity, what it takes to start, and the market signal, in plain terms.
Ghana keeps millions of cattle but eats mostly imported and cross-border beef, and turns its hides into almost nothing. The problem is not the animal. Cattle are held as a store of wealth rather than finished for meat, so the openings are not another herd: they are finishing, tanning the hide, and the cold chain and traceability the chain has never had.
A realistic starting point. First revenue in about 4 months to finish a head.
The disease, price and biosecurity risks are covered in full inside the playbook.
