I'm a part time livestock and crop farmer in ibadan, OYO state capital.
Farming has been interesting and lucrative to me since i've been into it. i've been thinking of a reasonable way to expand in the business as in a " SHORT TERM " and most importantly on " LONG TERM " basis.
I cultivate mainly cassava and plantain in the crop farming and in livestock farming, i rear cattles, goats, sheeps{ ram } and turkey, all done organically and inorganically
I would like to use this medium to invite NINE "9" interested and determined people to start this AGRIC BUSINESS GROUP in ibadan.
There are good locations for this project around ibadan and by the time we come together to discuss, we can all agree on where, when and how to go about the business project.

I count myself as no 1
expecting 9 more...............

no one is perfect in most business ideas but as far i'm experienced in this agro business, its a reliable and lucrative business if well managed.
10 Heads will surely be better than 1.

HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE IN AGRIC WORLD.

TURKEY FARMING BIZ
---------------------------------------------------
Commercial turkey farming is a profitable business idea. Turkey grows faster like broiler chickens and become suitable for slaughter purpose within a very short time ( 20 - 24 weeks ). Turkey farming for meat production is very popular than egg production from turkey.
--------------------------------------------------
some basics steps for starting commercial turkey farming business.

1. Breed of turkey to b raised...........

Broad breasted turkey is advisable for
commercial turkey production. They consume
less feed and convert this feed to meat
within a very short time.

2. Housing and Fencing.....................

Good housing with all types of essential
facilities available is very necessary for
commercial turkey production. In this regard,
you have to make a permanent house like,
chicken house and ensure availability of all
necessary facilities. For fencing, make the
fence as high as possible. Turkeys are large
in size and become very strong. So, the
fencing must have to be strong enough to
protect the birds. However, while making
housing and fencing for turkeys, keep in
mind the followings.

* You must have to make proper protection
from all types of predators and harmful
animals like snakes, soldier ants e.t.c.

* Ensure availability of sufficient space inside
the pen house.

* Using wooden litter is very effective for
turkey farming.

* Make sure there's sufficient flow of fresh air
and light inside the pen house.

* Make proper ventilation system.

* Make the house suitable enough for thorough.
and regular cleaning.

* In case of fencing, make it as high as
possible. The fencing must have to be at
least four feet above the ground. The turkeys
are far very strong and bigger than other
poultry birds. So, make the fencing with
strong materials.

3. Feeding & Watering.......................

Good and nutritious feed keeps the bird
healthy and productive. So, it would be better
to learn how to feed the turkey birds and this
will help you to prevent problems in turkey
farming and reducing feeding costs. Turkey
needs more protein in their food for first few
weeks than other domestic birds. The protein
in poultry feed should be at least 28 percent.

You can go with chick starter which contain
about 28 percent of protein. Feed the turkey,
chick starter for first six weeks and after that
period you can feed them grower feed.
Grower feed should contain 20 percent
protein. The amount of protein in turkey feed
is higher than chickens or other poultry birds
feed. Along with providing nutritious food,
always serve them sufficient amount of fresh
and clean water. Generally, 2 gallons of fresh
water mixed with multivitamins is necessary
for one dozen of turkeys.

4. Care & Management........................

Always try to keep your birds in healthy
environment and learn more about turkey
farming and how to prevent health problems.
Never feed your birds contaminated or
outdated food. Always provide them clean and
fresh water. Keep sufficient space inside the
house. And lastly, take good care of your
birds.

5. Marketing................................

In commercial turkey farming, the birds
become suitable for marketing within 20 to 24
weeks. Sell all the birds when they reach the
slaughtering age.

Turkey farming business is really very lucrative and enjoyable. If you are thinking about setting up commercial turkey farming business, then try to learn more about them or reach me through WHATSAPP.

If you are interested in livestock farming on a medium scale level, first thing first,
acquire a land ( 1 hectare )
Erect a room or two room apartment to
accommodate workers and fence at least four
Plots with wire fence ten meters to the
apartment.
The fenced plots is to keep animals in a small shelter after grazing and in case you wish to feed them with concentrates and give them medications when needed.
Another important facility is water supply.
All these are to be considered first before anyone ventures into this biz.


If you think these tasks are too heavy for you alone to start up, this is an opportunity for you to achieve your goals in AGROBIZ, join us to make up the 10 MAN AGRIC BUSINESS GROUP IN 2015. This project will be sited in ibadan axis.

Hi. I have tried to whatsapp you on that no. you supplied but it failed. I am interested and you can whatsapp me on 08055062368

sorry for the suspense
i wouldnt want to lure anyone into the group business with my earlier posts and i wanted to be very sure of affirmative results on market survey on plantain.
i've read many threadson nairaland { AGRIC SECTION } about plantain farming business , most information on the business isnt real at all.

for instance, its commonly seen on nairaland agric section that one can grow plantain and make millions, yes its true but something still wonders me about it.
i've never seen proves from anyone on nairaland that he\she has made a million from this as always said on nairaland.
most farmers on nairaland wants to make money by selling their farm produce and leave u with whatever comes after luring u in the business.
they tell u all the truth on how to start and manage the plantain farm and leave u with the most important point, MARKETING your farm produce and how much u can make from it.

they all aim to sell SUCKERS at ridiculous prices to beginners.


Truly, i'm a plantain farmer and its truly lucrative to me just because i'm running a small scale plantain farm of about 1,200 tress.
its lucrative to me cos i sell my produce just like every retail plantain seller.

out of my 1,200 plantain trees, i usually harvest a minimum of 40 bunches at once and sell at prices ranging from 800naira -- 1,500 depending on sizes.

NOTE : There is no way you can harvest all the plantain at once and make the millions people promise on this forum,
The harvest is done gradually weeks after weeks till one harvests the whole plantation.

at the start of mine, i believed i cant always sell out a bunch of plantain for 1,000naira, i intend expanding in order to increse the income and decided to call people to join me in the expansion.

my analysis was like --
if i can harvest 40 bunches at once out of 1,000 tress
possibly i can harvest 400 bunches out of 10,00 tress, thinking it will surely go for the same price i used to sell but after making several market survey within IBADAN, i got to the largest market selling plantain and other fruits called " OJE MARKET " and discovered the prices of plantain in larger quantities. they buy and sell in dozens and the best price is 6,000naira per dozen.
i didnt believe in one person enquiry result and checked other dealers of plantain in the market but there was no difference in price offer.
i went with 2 dozens of gd bunches to make a trial and make proper contacts with the dealers but i had to sell just one dozen and had to leave the market with a bit state of disappointment.

since then i've been working on my proposal just to make ammendments and make interested people understand all it takes before starting.
this is the main reason i've not been replying mails or whatsapp messages.
i cant promise what i cannot deliver.
everyone will expect a bunch of plantain to sell for 1,000naira and at the harvest period, the story will change.



I'm not selling any item to anyone on this forum and i cant lure anyone into the business group but if anyone is satisfied with the results of the end point { INTEREST\PROFIT } at harvest period as illustrated above, then i will start responding to everyone interested in the plantain farming business.




IF ANYONE HAS BEEN SO MAD AT ME FOR NOT RESPONDING ON WHATSAPP AND E.MAILS, PLS KINDLY FORGIVE ME FOR MY ACTIONS, WAS JUST TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND I BELIEVE ITS FOR OUR GOOD.

I dont want to raise anyones hope on investing his\her hard earned money on a business not well understood before venturing in it and the whole blame later falls on me.
..........................................................................................................................................................................................




ALL information concerning livestock is 100% intact and genuine.
i will start responding to interested investors from now on and also make arrangements on HOW, WHERE AND WHEN WE CAN MEET.



Thanks for your understanding.......

Lovely thread. Count me in when you are ready to take off.

It took me much time to put things in place for proper start up and management, that's why i've been silent for long.


If u r still interested, do contact me here or on whatsapp...

Av a great day

Open opportunity for sheep breeding is in place as well. Sheep flocks with cattle conveniently.
The breeding is about northern sheep named UDAH

I'd Prefer Sheep Breeding.

Ready and interested Investor.

it depends on how you want to run d biz..

Either for breeding which will be on a long term basis or fattening and selling out which is done within few months and targeting festive seasons like Sallah festival in order to make quick profit.


The fattening system is best done to sell during Sallah which i blv is less than four months time.
The aim is purchasing grown up rams dat r not well fed and fatten to a desired body weight before selling.


A ram of 30k can b bought nd fatten up to sell for not less than 45k at worst case scenarios depending on wherever or whoever u r selling to which also depends on location.

If u r selling in lagos, uw might sell higher than 45k and sincerely things ain't getting cheaper in this country, especially during festive seasons.

Start up hints on cattle breeding on a long term basis.

On long term basis
Cows r bought within d ranges of 45k - 55k.
To enjoy the long term its best to have more of females that can conceive within a year after purchase and mix with number of male capital can manage.
The males should b able to yield within dat year and sell out leaving d females behind to reproduce.
In d next season, one can purchase another fresh flock and join with the existing expected pregnant females and just Kp recycling every season.

Good work GGfada, let me know when u are back
