Chairman, you sound like a seasoned fish farmer and doing well at it . . . Why not expand in the fish farming for now and grow big enough there before moving into a poultry? Just a suggestion.

mozek24:


My Oga, well said. I wanted to expand oo but couldn't get a fish farm to rent. Buying land and construction is quite expensive and I can't afford that for now. Am operating at full capacity at my present location hence need to expand. I even have reservation on birds........plenty vaccines and medications,marketing etc. The medications you give birds can cure HIV

I would have prefered fish anyway

Fish farming like other business has its prons and cons.. And truthfully its a very lucrative and yet a money draining business..

I have read articles about how lucrative the business is and how to invest and reap millions.. All I do is just to laugh on reading such article.. All they want is just for u to buy their manual and make money.. Surprisingly most of them don't have a farm of their own, they are computer farmers who don't have any experience whatsoever in the business..

I know of farms within my area who have shut down their farms due to frequent loss over the years.. I was also considering shutting down myself after I lost close to 2 million naira, yeah u heard me TWO MILLION NAIRA, but after diligent study which took about a year I decided to give it my last shot..

To be continued..

Hello guys,

Pls what is the selling price of fish in Benin now? I got this chart from somewhere:

50 pieces =N400
40 pieces = N450
30 pieces = N500

Meaning an average of 1kg fish is N400..............so unfortunate

chialu:

Please how can i get in contact with you? Apart from email, can I get your phone number or address to make enquires and purchases? Please reply.

mozek24:


In Benin City, market women don't buy on flat rate per kg. 1kg fish is about N400 and non of them is ready to buy N1 higher. I've been monitoring price since October and its been the same.

Is this same in other region of the country?

Pls share the selling price in your region
