i;m currently thinking of a business recently, so i'm thinking of pig rearing/pork whole sale selling, i currently have an unfenced plot of land with a capital of 1M to start with.
my plan is to start rearing the pigs, then once they are matured enough, then kill and resell as pork meat in whole sale, i plan to get a shop at closer CBD axis and sell my pork meat over there. i don't want to depend on those supplying me for the pigs only for my sale, that's why i have to rear them myself.
if you are into pig farming or pork selling business, kindly enlighten me on what and what to do exactly, what and what do i have to put in place at the farm, how well do pigs eat, do they fall sick? how many years do pigs use to get matured for killing? do they get stolen easily? do i need to sleep or employ someone to watch them on a daily basis? those the business have prospect?


pls i'm open to any advises as regards to this business plan

Last week I was searching all around to get pork meat, I only want to eat cos it’s been long I eat, I was surprise at 11am the only seller I was directed to said it’s finished for the day and I also saw lots of people complaining cos it’s finished.

The supply for pork meat is really limited in supplies, that’s why I’m going into pig farming instead.

Thanks

With that amount of money,if you venture into maize farming on at least 5acreas to 7acreas of land you should be making atleast a profit of 2million per year if you have the technical known how

What and what do I need to know with my starting capital?

Acquiring the knowledge of Piggery farming should be the first thing. Am sure there are pig farmers at your locality that can mentor you.

Very well said. The knowledge is very important for anyone who have interest to venture into the piggery line of business.
So I believe the op should take this very crucial step first before investing his capital into the business.
