Anyone with experience in agricultural production knows that the problem is not production, it will finally boil down to marketing. This entails selling at the right time to the right people and at the right price that keeps you in business.


The marketing of chicken and meat is a big market,processed chicken cost less to produce,but requires freezing.
Companies (please google them), such as
Zambeef,
Cp foods
Cargill
Tyson foods;Etc

These built gaint conglomerates out of the production and sales of these processed and value added meats. They have built conglomerates out of this system.
In business. It's always important never to a business without having a game changer, sometimes it comes through a single Big Bang product for instance an organization entering the pharmaceutical industry with the cure for HIV and AIDS, but in reality, most of the time it is incremental through a culture of constantly doing small things here and there that are innovative...the process of buying DOCs and rearing and finally bringing them to market efficiently has made us apply innovation in very small process numerous times across the chain of events.
We could run this in an organised fashion, and getting financing is easier when we can come together.

Let's form a system to produce, market and distribute our products. Of course we will have to have the foundation of a business plan with business systems and proper registration and processes as a business.
People let's look into this. The market for frozen foods is technically and practically blank. Let's do something about this, I am talking to business people here.

The main problem is exportation of agricultural products. One needs to master the contemporary dynamics of export trade to avoid being defrauded by the foreign buyer of your products. For a detailed information, click on the first link on my signature.

There are players in the frozen food sector. Majority operate on a small scale because of inadequate infrastructure (light) and high cost of production. For instance, to get equipments required for a simple cold room is over N10Million. I don't know about you, but for now I earn an average of 60k monthly; that'll mean saving for the next 15 years on current income �. Profit margin is good but mired by uncertainty, weak disposable income, price fluctuations and competition. Frozen foods for now is a high risk venture. I do love the idea of cooperating though. I believe the next wave of successful entrepreneurs are those who leverage on networking and business to business transactions.

I am not talking of exporting, in this kind of business, we are yet to met export standards of the US and EU. I am talking of building businesses in Nigeria that will grow into conglomerates. With Nigerian customers. We have a need to fill here before looking at exports

otunbadan:
As individuals within a society become more specialised in their economic activities, they come to rely upon others to supply at least some of the products and services which they need. Thus begins a process of exchange between buyers and sellers. For a while buyers and sellers remain in immediate contact and each party is able to determine what the other needs and values and, therefore, will be willing to exchange. As the economy develops the number and types of exchanges expand, there is a concomitant need for increasingly specialised marketing services such as physical distribution, storage, grading, market information gathering and so. The number of participants also increases with many of the specialised services being provided by intermediaries between the seller and ultimate buyer. Few buyers and sellers are in direct contact with one another and communication between them is channelled through a complex marketing system.
Economic development itself provides the impulse towards more sophisticated and more efficient marketing systems. Dixie2 suggests that as countries experience economic growth, their rate of urbanisation tends to increase substantially. Whereas the rate of population growth, in developing countries, averages around three percent per annum, their cities and towns are increasing their populations at about four percent per annum. In essence, this means that the number of people, in urban areas, needing to be fed by rural people, will double within sixteen years. This has clear implications for agricultural production and the marketing systems that direct that production and distribute the output to the points of its consumption. Subsistence farming is likely to diminish in importance as farmers respond to the increased opportunities that development and urbanisation create; farms are likely to decrease in number whilst increasing in size; and agriculture will probably become less labour intensive and more capital intensive.

“Consumption is the sole end purpose of all production: and the interest of the producer ought to be attended to only so far as it may be necessary for promoting that of the consumer.”

We that are involved in animal husbandry know that we really have to get organised around these changes to survive.
