mr Robonski, excelsior,Ayosat, belexy,juve & great guys in d house, it will b splendid and to make our agric ventures to be at faster rate. lets work and join hands together to make agric project a massive one in Nigeria. we need to launch a national association of agric practitioners to put pressure on govt. to make agriculture worth venturing into by the youths. associations like NBA, MAN, ASSU etc. all started some years back and today they are big and recognised worldwide. we can borrow a leaf from them by also uniting under the same platform. i suggested and unfolds d plan on this thread, https://www.nairaland.com/1807984/let-form-national-association-youth |

[quote author=robonski15] [color=#990000][i][b]I must commend your efforts sir, 1kg -1.7kg in four months is wonderful.. Now about the present stock not growing well it 'may' be that the farm u bought them from kept the best for themselves and sold out the rest hence the poor growth. What is the size of this present stock? Many thanks for your quick response, i feel they kept the best shooters for themselves but i brought the seller to my farm, even accused him of selling me runts and he was still giving me assurance that they will grow. I just started hatching over the weekend and found out many of my eggs did not hatch within 24hours and my tutor instructed me to remove the hatching net when there are still lots of green unhatched eggs on it. I need to know how long the eggs are supposed to last on the hatching net before removal and also the best food and drug for the fries at this stage.please reply ASAP. THE ABLE ROBONSKI..

Success tips for aspiring fish farmers. Your overall goal in the fish farming business should be to supply fish to the market at competitive prices that still allow you to make a good profit. However, most small-scale catfish farmers make a poor return on their investments because of the presence of several intermediaries and middlemen who tend to offer very low prices for your fish. A good way to increase the profit potential of this business is to sell directly to consumers. Using this strategy, you can sell your fish at the general retail market price (which is usually much higher than what the middlemen offer), and keep all the profits that the middlemen would have taken off you. The downside to this strategy is that you will only sell a smaller volume of fish at a time compared to the high volumes the middlemen buy. Should you successfully get a consistent customer base for your fish, this strategy will prove to be very profitable and the scale and cost of running your business will be much smaller. Households, hoteliers, restaurants and catering service businesses are good niche targets and are very likely to become loyal customers as long as your supply is steady and reliable. In addition, your prices must be competitive and the quality (size) of your fish should dwarf your competition’s. Most entrepreneurs can make a decent living from this business if they focus less on selling volumes and aim for quality (large sizes) which command higher retail prices. Another good strategy is to improve the value of the fish through processing. A common form of fish processing is drying (smoking). Smoked fish commands much higher prices in the market than its fresh forms and has a longer shelf life (will not spoil easily). Smoked fish has become a popular export commodity due to rising demand from Africans living in the diaspora. Before you decide to invest your time and money in fish farming, you must first be sure that you have a target market that allows you to achieve profitability. Tnx 3 Likes |
