It was a pleasure speaking with you sir..

Sir Robonski,
It was nice speaking with you too. I have slept before your message came in and today had been very tedious for me. I will connect Nuvembaz tomorrow for some details and arrangements. Thank you very much.

@ mr robonski thanks, it's a concrete pond. The issue is that the fishes came with the disease from the supplier cos another farmer that bought at the same time with me has the same complaint. I got NCO(Neomycin, Chloramphenicol and Oxyltetracycline), they seem to improve but some are just weak. I will try to get the that one, I am at abuja sir. Thanks again
@ Phenyor
If you experience some thing like this , please try to inform the farm you purchase the fingerlings from so that others will not fall victim. Demand that they should do something about their fish.

15k is distributor price and also remember that the distributor has to transport the feed to his location and also pay shop rent. 20k is not bad for a 100kg feed. My own small opinion sha

@Robonski, let's now be serious, I had earlier had my reservations to the price you quoted earlier when you first advertised the Gelatin feed (We will be selling at a very low price for all to benefit and maximize profit.. A 100kg will be sold for for #15,000 (fifteen thousand Naira only)), we are all excited by this that yes one of our own has come to our rescue.

I believe due consultation had been made about the price before you made it public and most of us are already adjusting our budgets towards this, I mean to switch over to this feed. We so much believe in your person and ability based on the wealth of experience you have shared and solution you have proffered with excellent results.

The first price you mentioned that all will benefit from was #15,000 for 100kg which means #7,500 for 50kg.

Now the price is PRICE LIST:

WEST:10k
EAST, NORTH AND SOUTH :11K

ALL BAGS COMES IN 50KG



When the issue of pricing from distributors came up, I had expected a detailed analysis from you, to either come to their defense or give reasons. You only said 'Exactly' on post on thread 247 about the issue.

Some of us have had the opportunity to work in different capacity in different manufacturing outfit and I can tell of a fact that pricing is a very sensitive issue especially for an emerging product.

I will appreciate it if you can make a detailed analysis on the platform as to the reasons in price changes within a very short period of time when 90% of us that are excited about the news have not even benefited from it.

Mind you, the new price you are quoting stands a very little chance of convincing to switch because is almost the same if not less to the prices of feeds that we are already used to.

Likewise, another person is looking forward to buyers interested in about 500 broodstock. He had kept this fish for more than a year. Due to lack of space for his new batch of fish he wants to sell the brood stock off at current table size price. If interested call him on ‭09083590573‬. Thanks

Hello sir, we have done justice to the price.. The distributors sell at just 10k and 11k per 50kg depending on location.. They have to pay for cost of transportation themselves and also rent, staff etc.. Now we buy coppens, zeigler, multifeed on the average 5k for just 15kg or even higher, for 50kg will amount to #16,600 on average.. Our feed are 10k per 50kg which is #6600 lesser than foreign feed also considering its high crude protein content..When you multiply by how many bag of feed you will use till harvest you will see how much cost you have saved by purchasing our feed.. Thanks

Oga Robonski, you are getting me confused hear.
You said the galetin feed is in powder form to be mixed with hot water to prepare .
My confusion is in your mentioning 2mm, 3mm, 4mm and 6mm specifications of your galetin feed.
Question: Are the feeds in two forms? That is powder and pellet forms?
Please clarify....
Thanks.

There are 2 types
1. Powder form to be mixed with hot water and prepare like eBay and feed to the fishes from juvenile to grow out
2. For people not comfortable with powder mixing with hot water, they have made it into pellets and the 2,3,4&6mm are different sizes available.
I think this is a great development and we should rally round tl support them.
