Thank you for your kind response.

Have a blessed day

excelsiorfarm:

For little elaboration, answeing vulcan. The calculation is correct.

First you can use fish net or sleeve to get your fishes for sampling without killing anyone

For the calculation, lets break it to small bits, the reason why 1000 is down is simply because 20 grams to kilogram =20/1000. Hence the 20 is up and 1000 down.

The reason why 100 is down is because it is a percentage. 5% used is 5/100. That is the reason 5 is up and 100 is down.

And the last up is 2000, the number of the stock rate used. There is no need to put it over anything because it is a stand alone factor.

Nothing else to emphasis, it have been broken down to pieces.

Have a great day.

Jesus is Lord

God bless

I appreciate the question, how do you measure without killing them?

There is something that is called fish net that could be use to bring out your sample from the pond.

About the calculation? If not correct, by His Grace, you won't see it here.

Let me help you clarify

First the number of fishes=2000
Grams of each=20 grams
Body percentage used= 5% (Feeding)

Now, 1000grams =1kg

20x2000x5(at the top as shown and quoted)

1000x100(at the button as shown and quoted)
I believe you can see the slash sign that means divided?

20x2000x5=200,000(@ top)
1000x100=100,000(@buttom)

If you divide 200,000/100,000 what will you get?

The Answer is 2kg

Yes, since its just to gain experience. Hence do not mind your costs and efforts of getting ponds, either mobile or fixed, running water and your labour.

XiaoLi:
What is your basis of saying that someone who wants to start big can start because SE and SS consume alot of cat fish, have you ever sold catfish in the SE market? Or do you know about cat fish marketing in the SE?
@Xiaoli , why not get someone experienced enough as a manager, instead of a consultant. At least the manager can be on ground Everytime. You can even call him to get the state your farm is at anytime. And in case of emergency he can act fast , instead of waiting for any consultant to tell them what to do... In catfish business, fast thinking and acting fast can save millions of naira.
You need to be very wise in your investment cos it will run into millions and that's not an investment to joke with.
From fingerlings / juveniles you intend to get. To the water you use on them , the space, the drugs, sorting, to the marketing , to the selling space (where buyers should stay at) to the scale to use .. and more, nothing should be left untouched.
That's my opinion anyway.

Catfish Farming Business Plan In Nigeria / Business Plan For a Mega Integrated Catfish Farming

There are businesses in this country that are very profitable and we have loads of their business plan for you. But we also have those who are very lucrative, easy to start, easy to run, easy to admin and one of such is the Catfish farming business in the Nigeria. This is one of the most lucrative and most profitable business in the agribusinesses line that you are make a fast and quick Return On Investment. If you are interested in this business and you want to go into it, then you have nothing to worry about. We have you covered with our detailed business plan on Cat fish farming business in Nigeria.

Our Cat fish business plan in Nigeria was recently updated and well detailed business plan which can be used for applying for Grant , Bank Loans, Proposal writing, Business Concept Note, Competitions etc

Based on a recent research carried out by some groups, it was said that over 75 per cent of Nigerians consume fish on a daily basis. If this is true and it is true, then we have a very high demand rate for fish in Nigeria.   

We have types of consumable fish in Nigeria, but the most consumed as at today, is the cat fish. Catfish is as it \where is eaten in Hotels, Restaurants, Bars, Joints and Spots etc. If you run a restaurant both the local and the well sophisticated one, you must be a cat fish seller else, you are never going to trend in your neighbourhood. At every Spots or Hotels in Nigeria you will always  find Catfish as part of the hotel’s menu. Have you heard of the phrase “cat fish pepe soup”? That’s one of the most selling food in the country. Cat fish can be prepared and sold as fish peppe soup or it can be grilled and peppered. Many a time, people do think that it is very expensive to start but in reality, it is very cheap and low cost to start. From its farming, production, distribution and marketing are lower than its demand.

We will be discussing in details the fundamental things that an intending cat fish farmer should know about Catfish farming and things you should consider before starting the cat fish business Some time ago, I spoke with some millionaires who are into cat fish farming. I asked them how it has been so far and if they knew anything about cat fish farming. I was surprised when I was told that they had no clue about the business. In fact over 90 per cent of these Catfish farmers whom I interviewed actually knew nothing about the business of cat fish before they ventured into it and now they have become millionaires.

Something they did was very simple. They had their cat fish business plan all along with them and this became to them their weapon. They got Catfish farming business plan and the rest became history. But if you don’t a clue about it and you feel you want to go into this business, , employing the services of someone who has an idea on how to run a Catfish farm will be a great advantage to you. But, that’s not an issue because you can actually learn this business with just having your business plan by your side. It’s not a difficult business to learn at all.  

Why does the business make so much money in a very short time and why does it produce millionaires in a very short time as compared to other business? Because Catfish grow very fast which makes it advantageous to you. There are people who think that Catfish farm is very expensive to establish but the truth is that cat fish business is not expensive though it may look like it. We have seen how Catfish farm business have turned so many persons into a millionaires within a short time. In fact it can happen within months. But this can only happen if you have the right information which happens to ne cat fish business plan.  We will be discussing some of basic things that are needed to run a successful Catfish farm business in Nigeria.

The joy of every catfish farmer is to get sales for their catfish at harvest.

However, many farmers finds it hard to sell off their catfish at harvest, thereby incurring additional cost.

Catfish farmers are too quick to complain of rip-off and short changing by the duo of catfish market women and middle-men respectively while they are satisfy staying in their comfort zone.

As an organisation which is also involved in catfish farming and processing; we have developed a solution from our experienced over the years on how to make profit in catfish farming.

Inorder to be different from the middle-men yet supplying to all, our organisation welcome new members into our cooperative as we hope to register a catfish farming association.

Need a regular offtaker for your fresh catfish, join us today as a premium member.

Coverage area is Lagos and Ogun state in the interim.

For registration, terms and conditions; send your name, farm location, fish size and whatsapp contact to agrowealth001@gmail.com

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..

Good evening, do you have a comprehensive ebook with videos on farming for beginners for people who can't attend your seminars.
