Please, do you have up to date info about this business? It's something I want to get into this year. I'd appreciate your inputs.

Mrdellychy:
Lol
Their ridiculous charges is a sign that they know nothing about farming. If they do, them suppose pity farmers small. If he's leasing an acre for 200k, can a farmer realize a gross sale of 200k from selling a fresh corn from one acre in the South?
If the land has a thick vegetation, land prep (clearing, packing/burning,ploughing,) alone can gulp up to 100k per acre. Cost of treatments/maintenance: herbicides, insecticides, seed, etc all of them dey there.
If not for the current inflation in the price of farm products/ food, few years ago, a ton of cassava sold less than 20k and u can only get an average of 7ton of the tuber from an acre.

They are expensive
Like £160 each in uk


The Kamara basket hive is better because it is cheap

It is 2 Cylinder baskets inside each other to harvest the one at the back and opposite the bee entrance has the honey and is pulled out and another empty basket Cylinder is pushed in to replace it

It was invented by John Kamara a pastor and bee keeper in Sierra leone

Exousiang01:
Your contact please.
and what state is this Orire local government located

SoftHeart:
They're very expensive, particularly the imported ones. I do deep litter system and it's odourless.

GreyWolf01:
So why can't seeds from the harvested TELA be replanted?

If they are so great and sustainable, one should be able to replant, no?

GMO's are a dangerous.


Make of this what you will.

There is no way 10 feeders will serve 100 birds. Unless you want serious competition which will lead to bullying.
If the marketing is not well planned, you may have to eat some by yourself because lots of people reared the birds they need on their own at their backyards

@epainos
Spot on analysis.

My honest opinion (Personal ooo) to all newbies, it's a very volatile sector right now, and a very dangerous terrain at that. Thread careful.

jidestroud:
But mehn, I dey scout for eggs like gulder ultimate search. . I tried restricting then to a certain area to make it easy, but chickens will be chickens .

Moreover, my Ugu plants GONE! Waterleaves, GONE!! Bitter leaves, ALL GONE!!!!

Why would you send money to someone unknown to you whom you have not done any business with, the person that referred you to him might be an accomplice.

theFarmsChief:
As you humbly requested for the cost and benefit analysis of 100 Pullet from day old.The information is as below:
Cost of 100 day old pullet presently is ₦1100 *100=₦110,000
Feeding :Wk1 - Wk3 (Super Chick Starter) 0.4kgof feed consumed * 3 = 40kg/25kg = 1.6 bags * ₦18500 ( price per bag) = ₦29,600
Feeding: WK 4 - 6 ( Chicks Mash), 0.7kg per bird * 100 = 70kg/25kg = 2.8 bags * ₦18500 = ₦51,800
Feeding: WK 7 - 9 ( Chicks Mash) 1.1kg of feed per bird * 100 = 110kg /25kg = 4.4 bags * ₦18,500 = ₦81,400
Feeding: WK 10 - 16 ( Grower Mash),3.3kg of feed per bird * 100 = 330kg /25kg = 13.2 bags * ₦18500 = ₦244,200
Feeding: WK 17 - 18 (Prelay), 1.1kg per bird * 100 = 110 kg /25kg = 4.4 bags * ₦18500 = ₦81400
Feeding: WK 18 - 20 (Prelay) 7baga* ₦18500 = ₦129,500
%age Mortality (5%) = 5
Expected remaining number of birds = 95
Expected cost of vaccination and medication:₦50,000
Note: Under good management practices,your Isa Brown should start laying by wèek 18 - 20 at a very low percentage which I am NOT capturing under this analysis.
But by wèek 21, the birds should be able to start catering for their feeding and drugs with no hassle and at this stage , you should be expecting them (100 birds in quote) to be consuming on the average of 115gramme /bird = 115g/1000g = 0.115kg /bird * 100 = 11.5kg. Let assume that a bag of layer mash is still ₦18500, therefore divide the value by 25 and then multiply it by 11.5 as thus (₦18500/25) * 11.5 = ₦8510 as the cost of feeding them on daily basis.
And for the output which is egg, the egg production curve is between 50 - 80 % which will keep rising till week 65 and then reduce a bit to 80% around week 80 while between week 81 - 90, the average egg laying pattern will fall back to between 50-65 % and this is the ideal time for you to sell them off as spent birds.
Coming back to eggs ,let assume that the average laying percentage with good management practices is 83%, therefore, on the average, you are suppose to be making the following income first without any deductions (85/100) * 95 = 80 eggs /30= 2.6 crates * ₦5000 ( farm gate price per crate) on daily basis . Note: This price can be more in your own area and it is NOT CONSTANT .
The sales amount to ₦13300 daily minus cost of production ,that is cost of feed ₦8510 = ₦4790 * 30 = ₦143,700
There are still more calculations, but let me stop here as I have proved to you that it worths it. And by the time, you consider your cost of setting up the business aside the building and other fixes assets, you will know that ₦110,000 is GUARANTEED per month.
IN ALL HONESTY, THIS INFORMATION I HAVE SHARED WITH YOU US PURELY PRACTICAL AND WITH A KNOWLEDGE GATHERED WITH ADEQUATE RECORD KEEPING.

kayceecompany:
Beautiful analysis but I must tell you that this is just theory. My neighbour here has been into poultry and egg production for years. But, she stopped this year.

Do you know why??
The price of the layers feed has gone up and sadly, the quality has reduced.
Her 500 pullets use to lay 14-15 crates of egg per day. But now, after buying layers feed at 25k per bag, she gets 7-10 crates per day.
The culprit is the feed quality. Changing feeds helped a little but not much.
Those still in the business are just managing by selling one crate at almost 5k.

What a collosal loss? So, she quit and sold off the birds.
Wahala dey for Naija now, be very careful with your projections.

jidestroud:
I will be sharing in full details soonest. All is well though. Las Las, dem go know say me sef get better craze. Me wey dey chop sacrifice for calabash for land wey i see? dem never see anything.

Nevertheless, work is moving on smoothly. Every stakeholder in the community as waded into the matter and pleaded with me not to escalate the issue beyond what has happened in these past weeks.

jidestroud:
Kept 30 birds back on the farm. That was the sole purpose in venturing into the project in the first place, not even now when egg consumption isn't for the poor again.

jidestroud:

Sold off the birds. The temptation was just to sweet to resist. Lol
Each went for N5,500 jare. .

shilenji:
I have workers that do the feeding and upkeep of the birds,but I make sure I'm there twice weekly to check progresses. We normally partition the feeds but somehow it's getting too much and the birds are getting lighter by the day, they 4months plus birds are just a little above 1kg at the moment but not all some still fall below that. In the course of 4 months about 200 birds have eaten approx 12 bags

Goodjeez:
This almost smells like a good deal 1M is not bad if the place is not too far from the main town. The land looks like it'll have low pH though, or na my eyes? Buyer go come

epainos:
Leave the man alone and allow him to market his property to potential buyers. It is not sustainable for you, but it may be for someone else. In fact, if you bring cassava up to my face, I will kick you out of my sight. That's me. But for you...its OK.

By the way....where is your "here"?

Whatever you sow, you will reap in multiple folds. Someone else will damage you too when you push such offer out.

As long as it is not a scam, let him be. It is a free place and a free market. If his price is too high, he will learn the hard way. If you do not change, you will have to learn the hard way too.
