Poultry farming

I'm actually looking in that direction but I'm being scared bout the bird flu syndrome.... That ish affected a cousin of mine and since then, I'm somehow skeptical bout it

TEYA:


Kindly ask him what kind of property you can buy for #300000.

Bros.... I think this is a good question. Asking him right away

diamondsnoww:
i know a very profitable farming business that you dont need that kind of capital to start up. with 100k or less,you are super good to go unless you choose to start super big,in that case you will be getting several several acres of land. look up my signature for my digits and whatsapp me.

Ok..

i work and live in Enugu.. how do I contact u

Infinity0428:



HOW DO I CONTACT YOU PLS??

I got your message alert but can't access it.

Well, my assumption is that you may need some details.

It is a very straightforward thing. Just go to any nearby cattle market and make some enquiries.

But take the following guides;

Don't attempt buying cows from Fulanis directly if you don't know the prevailing prices. They will slaughter you (not literally oh, but price.)

Also, never attempt buying cows from the owner (fulani or dealer) if he is not prepared to sell. Attempt buying from market only because owners are willing to sell and as such they will be cheaper.

If you are not familiar with cattle business, don't just appear in the market and be identified as a buyer, they are there for business and they will feast on you. A cow of 70k may be sold to you much higher. Go to the market for proper survey, ask questions from many dealers and labourers in the market.

Try to get link with any dealer whose aspect of cattle business is the fattening. Depending on his generosity, he is an invaluable asset to a beginner in the business.

Although, it is an all season business, it is more profitable as rainy season sets in. Reason being that cattle that were hungry due to shortage of grass will now easily get fattened due to abundance of same. Coupled with the fact that you are going to treat them (which the Fulanis rarely do) they will be healthy and easily increase in weight.

Don't trust anybody especially at the buying/selling stage. The person pretending to be helping you may actually be the one cheating you. I know what I'm saying.

Invest little at the initial stage to learn the tricks and the nitty-gritty.

By the time you perfect the understanding, I doubt if you will stop the business.

You can still quote me anytime for any other detail.

LionDeLeo:


The only livestock farming I understand is cattle.

You buy them when they are lean/emaciated, treat them, mostly de-worming and give them Ivomec (cattle multivite) and procaine injection against infections. A seasoned non-fulani cattle businessman will readily assist you.

Don't bother discussing with the Fulanis because they are mostly illiterates and they can't be of help.

If you keep them with any cattle businessman who also keeps cattle for just 3 to 4 months, I doubt if you will ever stop the business.

The only snags here are;

1. You require at least a million naira, to enjoy it very well.

2. The chance of finding a businessman in that line of business who will readily allow you to join your cows with his own for the period is slim. Some of them will want to do the investment on your behalf and adopt a profit-sharing formula, not a good idea. (Don't attempt Fulanis, some of them are criminals)

I was in the business before but I'm not stable in one place now due to my job demand.

As I have stated, that is the only animal business I understood very well.

Bros, that is one of the problem I'm having. I work in Kogi but I'm from the western part of the country. The money in question is a lil change I got from a biz I did here and I just don't want to squander it, thats why I'm looking for a possibility of doings something tangible with it, whc will be in my home state.... Talking bout the cattle business, I have Tought bout getting newly born cattles, let's say like 5 or more(depending on the amount) and then groom till when they are ripe to sell but the problem is like you said, the Fulani are out of it and getting a trustworthy person to take charge will also be a herculean task, reason being that I won't be around to monitor it(tho I can get capable hands to do that for me)... But I haven't heard bout getting sick cattles to treat then sell off probably after few months... Can you plz explain more bout it

myking95:


Where can someone get land for that kinda price. Which state.

That is why I said, depending on his environment.

You can get land free for farming in places like Benue and Ondo state.

Cesc001:
What about cat-fishing? The only thing hindering me from engaging into this business line is just land and a conducive environment...

cat fish hmmmmm not advisable for a startup ooo try something thing else first when your comfortable you can venture into fish business.... Cat fish will make your 300k look like 30k

I have made some little explanation on the thread, check, you will see.

Infact, that Kogi state you mentioned is even the terrain I'm familiar with. Get to the nearest cattle market and make the necessary enquiries.

Buying little cattles for rearing is not very profitable and you will not like it. It is only Fulanis that enjoy that path of cattle business.

lockupnop:
If I need money ...don't think about location.


Take 20,000 go to Odelemo rent a acre of land for 1 year .Dem don dey open eye now. They will ask for 3 years.

Farmers are billionaires all over the world being favored by the magical power of the land.

Send a Maize seed to the university of underground and see the result at the day of graduation.

Sweetcorn is one of the best maize to plant for good ROI

As u can have up to 5 pop corn machine around Lagos while your people can planting for u. . ..

You can even start feedmill partner with a your local miller as long as u have ur product sign an MOU and watch ur .money grow from the soil ...

Snail farming but, hey, you got to have a lot of patience because the business is gonna move slowly at snails' speed. You dig?

Heheheheheheheheheh The "at snail speed really got me"...nay. I dont think I have that kind of patience

Wow!!! I followed this post to page 3.
Here is my contribution to encourage the op.

I finished my national youth service call last year October, i studied Yoruba Education and i am also a talented MC. I have proposals at radio stations too, as an OAP.

After several job applications and job interview invites from almost all south western states,lekki Lagos inclusive. I decide to take a break and find other things to do.

I return home to my village where my mum stay, i have about 50k back then, i would have like to remain in the city, but if i should, the 50k won't last a month. So here i am, a graduate villager, i eat my mum food with pride until she told me about one of my illiterate friend who is a barber, i told her never to compare me with a barber anymore, but whats the point? A barber too is suppose to be successful na.

That was how i stop eaten from home, i follow cocoa merchants up n down, just to make ends meet.

Then the planting season came, though till now the rain is not yet stable but my maize farm and melon farm is balling big time. By this time next month i should be harvesting my farm products.

Here is how it all goes.
I got a free land from a Gardner/security man of an uncompleted fed gov school building.

I pleaded with two boys to help me with the clearing of the land, i gave them 4k after all the works.

I did the remaining minor clearing myself and spent like 2k on my body, e no easy.

I got 2 congo of corn/maize at the rate of 1400# and also 1 congo of melon at the rate of 750#.

I did the planting myself a week before easter.

I did weeding again late last month, and that's all.
No more weeding again, just waiting for harvest.

The market is there for me, waiting for my farm products, the price may be low, due to the fact that lot of people will be harvesting too at that time, but all the same. Money na money.

Less i forget, i still dey look for job o
Make una help me
I can work as a farm manager too.
Thanks

Can you plz explain to me more on this...especially the packaged garri and plantain part

you can go to villages and buy the garri in bulk, bring it down to ur area and package it into sealed nylon. plantain can be processed into yam flour, it is highly recommended for diabetic patients

op, invest in agric, it pays. it is not late to plant corn or cassava

Mcweber:
That means I will have to get a land if I am to dabble into that which I don't really think is within the above mentioned capital

. Chairman, u dont need to buy land to farm na. All u need to do is to rent farmland for d medium or longterm. Who knows, if the required profit is plenty, u might eventually buy the land.

Cannabis plaintation

Thanks for the advice....u try

Trustworthiness:


I a land of not more than 1 plot and use only 50k out of the money to start vegetables planting. But do your research about it before you start.

Warning: Never invest all your money at a goal.

If the risk is analysed it's not a bad idea to take the one shot afterall you can still lose the money in another way. When you have little or nothing to fall on it will be a do or die. Win or win.
Business has never been do the lily livered. I take shot once and burn the bridge behind as my mind is always on the goal only as life is a war.

if you had a land cassava would've been ideal

Hello Nairalanders... Pls I want to know any profitable business one can start with a small capital of 300-350k. I know the said amount is a little change in Nigeria today to start up a business but still, no matter how small it is I know it will definitely start up something.

NB - I am very much interested in farming business but I'm not totalling rulling out the possibility of other businesses
