Farmer2017:
Am into cassava farming and would want to my produce into garri. Please i need infomation on where to get an affordable cassava/garri processing machine.

karlxavier:
Etrabshub, please I have some questions. When is your factory going to be completed? Secondly, what's the capacity of your factory? Thirdly how much are you going to charge per ton of cassava to process into Garri??please reply

Ttalk:
That is good decision.

Let me also state some fact that makes farmers get into problem.

1. Most standard company produce feed for annual production.
With their feed your fish is expected to reach maturity between 10 to 12 months. But when you use thier feed and expect result in 5months you run into problem.

2. Their feed is composed using the standard spacing model for effective FCR. However most of us stock more than thier specification and expect the same result.

3. Palatability is not the sole determinant of quality feed. Your fish can consume 10kg of imported/Nigeria floating while other farmers' consume 7kg of local and still get better result. Concentrate are attractant that enhances feeding and not nutrient that make fish grow.
Farmers are always overjoy when they see fish frenzily consume floating feed not knowing that most of it ended as waste in the water. The fact remain that quality fish feeding is based on fish amino acid requirement and not on the attractant input. The fact that children like sugary [attractant] items does not mean those items are the best for growth

4. You will be surprise that some Nigerian floating pollute water more than local feed yet there is general believe that local feed pollute water easily.

If i have gone too far please pardon me, i dont mean to run any business down but to state the fact

Ttalk:
Sir, i dont think he wasted money on feed and if he is a newbie then he has no choice but to pay the price.

The fact remain that Feed price are too expensive even if the FCR is 1:1. You will discover that there exist little profit.

I remember raising that concern in one of my previous post and called on experts on this platform to come up with a solution to help the upcoming but less attention was paid to it. How can you buy feed at N500/kg with FCR of 1:1.5 and expect any tangible profit, Or buying feed that claim 40%CP when you can produce 48% with the same amount.

Sincerely it doesnt cost more than 350 to 400 to produce similar quality they sell at 500naira/kg. Now calculate different of 150 multiply by 900kg equals 135,000 add that to your profit and see the different

The only solution is outright local, supplemental or combination. However to achieve this requires reasonable investment

micgray100:
the seed i bought were Juveniles not Fingerlings... is my mistake... no fingerlins can weigh 10grams as specified... 10grams are already Juveniles

on the issue of wasting the profit.. it is a known fact that when writing a business plan.. all inputs into a business must be quantified. Quanifying Labour and water for 6 months isnt a bad idea... security is even not part of it... let us be realistic sometime...

Adeymorla:
To make better profits, its really not about the type of feed used, its more about its conversion to flesh when the fish consume it. We call it the feed conversion rate. Some expensive foreign feeds/ naija local floating we buy have low FCR so buying them is just like money down the drain. The fish will eat it but they will not grow fast. To reduce cost u have to increase FCR. Thats the only way

karlxavier:
I need to ask some questions. I would like and need to join this cooperative as regards this processing cos I believe processing is the answer. But I want to ask some questions. Can one have a cassava farm and after harvesting, locate any processing plant and process his or her cassava to Garri at a fee? Please reply.

Nicogen4us:
ordinary white cassava is #190k

micgray100:
Is this business still profitable. Cos I tried with a thousand fish and still got loss of 1k with wasted time and energy for 5 months.

Please prove me wrong with the followings..

Got seeds from a fish farm I visited myself to see how they grow and affirm it genuineness..

40 naira per fingerlings weight average weight of 10g each..

3 bags of 2mm coppens feeds for 17k each

60 bags of 3mm and 4mm vital feeds for 7500 each

For 5 months water changing .. 50k
Drugs.. 10k
Labour of boy for 5 months at 8k every month..

From the above

40 x 1000 pieces that is 40k....10x1000=10,000

3 x 17000 that is 51k...3x13=36,000

60 x 7500 that is 450k...quality local feed 1ton 300k

50k water this can be avoided depending on where u pond is

10k drugs...no need for drug

40k labour...you dont need labour for 1000pieves

All together

641k expenses..your total should be 346k let's add miscellaneous of 50k so we have 396k.

Average kg after harvest is 800kg multiplied by 800 rate....with one ton quality local (floating/sinking)feed you will get the same result

640k

Diffrence is 1k loss...and the difference would have been more than 200k which means profit.

So the major problem was the cost of feed and unnecessary expenses on labour n management

All I gained is experience... And willing to learn more..

Please House.
Educate us more we the newbees on this trend base on Mr above experience how to make gain and experciate better how I could have reduce cost..
