Please anybody in the house that can assist in providing information about chicken processors in Nigeria, especially in Lagos. I'm currently running a poultry farm of 550 broiler birds and need the contacts of chicken processors as I plan raising them for 8 weeks.

Thanks, all inputs and suggestions will be highly appreciated.

please I'm still waiting on any info...

any processor based in lagos and how much do you offer to buy per kilo?

thanks

Thanks for the link... I've checked it out, unfortunately it didn't provide the answer I'm looking for...

As regards the waste, I've already started, (sold out one batch already, just looking for better deals from other processors), are you in lagos? My farm is at Egbeda here in Lagos

Why not process (slaughter and dress) them your self, and then distribute to hotels, eateries and supermarkets.

Thanks for the input, I should be thinking in that direction, I'm only thinking that the number of birds is huge (550) and refrigerating it would cost another fortune (buying huge freezers and the likes). Again, thanks, I'll give it a thought

That's the best advice anyone could have given you,I did about 600 broilers too but I sold it out to the processors at 380 per live kg in ibadan,but it was later that I discovered I made a wrong choice but right now am thinking towards processing them myself, I tell you its really worth it and its only by processing them that you can make a good profit on your investment instead of selling to the processors who will barely buy at the cost price. The only challenge you have is looking for eateries and hotels to supply, but that shouldn't be too hard considering the fact that you are in lagos unlike the stress am currently facing here in ibadan

N380/kg? WOW!!!

The last one I sold was at the rate of N410 and I even thought it was a rip off, but at N380, I'm lost for words. I think I'll start thinking in the direction of processing them myself now, the stress will be well worth it. Thanks for the input, I appreciate.
