ScotMisile:
Where can I find smoked catfish @ whole sale prices? Am in Lagos.

We have a good number of catfish processor in Lagos. You can as well get from us....check our facebook page: agrohubcoop1 to see pictures.

ScotMisile:
Not necessarily farming,but supplies like crayfish, catfish etc.

Since you are specific @ farming business(supply)....the first thing is to get at least few customers he/she is sure would buy it.
With #20k, s/he should be able to service 20customers at #1k on smoked catfish with an estimated 10-15% return depending on location.

Imagine you doing the cooking for your wife on her birthday even after 10years of a happy married life.

Good women are wonderful.

I encourage you to show such "cookmanship" love occasionally. Kitchen is fun with your sweetheart.

papagiddy:
yes you are very correct,i just pray i get tokeep doing that for my wife
truly it makes marriage lively and sweet

Who?

johnkey:
They're coming for you hmmm

Hmmm...you must be an experience hubby @ "softening her heart".... Sometimes i wonder when they claim men loves food...trust me, women loves food most....

Men, we know what we love most....

Stephenomozzy:
Keep up the good job Sir!

Acts like these, you'll always have a way of softening her heart

Let the chicken reach this side biko.

How well do you treat her when she request for that chicken and chips or shawarma.

Interestingly, guys do all to please their girl while still getting her to say YES....taking her out to almost every eateries to satisfy her. But BOOM, once she becomes the wife, story story...lol

For me, i ensure that she still gets that chicken...its just a matter of 30mins....rush to the next frozen chicken shop, buy a kilo, spice it and fry...BOOM...fried chicken is ready....

Treat your woman well and you will get the other room green card.....looolllll

You have just mentioned a very low risk business, "provision store".

In this covid era, it is wise to choose essential services or products type of investment. You need no sootsayer.

However, every businesses has their challenges and technicality. Location is KEY in provision store. My neighbour who is the major provision seller in my neighborhood, restock every other day.

This is good to read. Weldone brother.
Savings is a culture but investment is a future.

I'm glad you were saving towards an investment until covid-19 showed its monster face.

Do not relent once you're back to work and give it a shot to invest however little from your savings #10,000.

The greatest fear of every investor is the assurance of the safety of their capital. Sadly, investors would rather choose to invest in mutual funds and its likes to avoid stories that touches.

However, the fact remains that the neglected micro enterprises or informal sector contributes largely to a country's GDP yet because of their unstructured business, they lack the requisites to attract funding.

Having worked in this informal sector for over 15years with different certification training at FATE Foundation, ALF Foundation, TEF Foundation, I'm qualified to guide both an investor and an entrepreneur on how to determine or present a viable business respectively.

If the economy must grow with positive impact on the micro enterprises who are far closest to the consumers, their must be a system to cater for their financial needs to scaleup.

Join me and let's change the paradigm.

God bless Nigeria

The impact of covid-19 on MSMEs cannot be quantified. Virtually all businesses have suffered the HIT irrespective of sectors; However, few sectors into essential services had a different HIT.

As the economy gradually open up, many affected MSMEs will grabble with CAPITAL to drive their business.

First, is this your first time of trying your hands on hatching?
If yes( which i presume so), i must state that, newbies who fail to do the needful may suffer from such ignorance thereby giving room for some failed and inexperience acclaimed fish farmers to talk down on the industry.

Few things you did wrong....
1. Not securing the escape of fish...
2. Your security naivety in keeping two fishes together in a confined container....
3. Female broodstock are more aggressive than their male counterpart not even after inoculation....
4. You were not timing of the latent period of the female hence the entire release of her eggs...

Let's see farming as a professional business and not mere hobby....

Get the right training and information.

I hope by now, the second female and male should have been used.

Share your current experience.

Mubby4luv:
Good morning everyone. I want to share an experience I had yesterday perhaps I will get a good explanation.
Yesterday I injected 2 female broodstock and kept each in a separate container. I had my males ready also and I kept them in an identical container with that of the females. Somehow in the night, It was raining and a male jumped off it's container but luckily my security man saw it and carelessly placed it back in a container housing a female. Now this morning I rushed to the farm to do the needful only to find out that there was no single egg left in the female, the eggs were spilled all over the container and the male was so weak and his body was ashy in color. Please anyone knows What could ve happened?

As your name implies"weedsmoker"....very curious...

Obviously, you cannot identify a real practicing farmer to an online farmer.....what a pity....

So sad profile... that you've managed many large farms including those of your F&F and non was a success.....whaooo...no wonder you had no success stories but regrets....

Visit the thread: Hidden truth about catfish farming"...you will see more of my comments...

I do not think you worth who i should debate professional catfish farming with.

Weedsmoker:
Crawl back to whatever hole you crawled out from,I didn't make the post to impress you or anyone.What I just spilled is the bitter truth about catfish business.

I know why you sound pained, because you are a catfish information marketer that has no idea about practical fish farming just only theory.

For your information,I was once a fish farmer and have managed large catfish farms,I have lots of family members and friends that are into the biz, when I talk,I talk from experience not just what I read online.

I read this and wasn't impressed. Each paragraphs takes different positions and this makes the entire comments misunderstanding.

You started by saying, "I'm yet to see...." If you haven't seen, it doesn't mean that their are no such successful catfish farmer.

Tell me a legitimate business in production line that the owner within a year to three years got enough profit to achieve those things you mentioned.

If you're really an entrepreneur or business owner with good knowledge of breakeven let alone profit making....you had known how long(minimum) of year(s) to start thinking of profit.

You must have been deluded by such acclaimed successful business owner/entrepreneur, who actually got loan to buy car or build a house to showcase their business success... (The more you look, the less you see).

Again, in your second paragraph, you affirm that if one is not into fingerlings production, he cannot make an headway, such is not even in the business yet...whaooo....what a conclusion.

I find it tiring to reply all your comments in discouragement to the Op's question........

The fact remains, catfish business is a professional business but sadly many rushed into it believing this is farming/hobby and they are rushed out. They lack all the basics and fundamental experience to establish their farms having wrong orientation and mindset.

@Ops, like any other professional business, catfish farming is profitable if you get the right knowledge and knowledge is not CHEAP.

Weedsmoker:
The bitter truth is that catfish biz is not as easy as most information marketers make it seem,in my years into catfish biz [s]am yet to see anyone who built a house,bought a car or got married from the profits of catfish biz [/s]but all I keep seeing is losses upon losses,farms going bankrupt, catfish farmers going into huge debts that has brought pains and sorrows to families.

For you to be able to make headway in catfish biz it requires adequate training and experience about the biz or else you might get burnt.[s]And note that if you haven't started hatching your own fingerlings yourself then you haven't started the business[/s],ensure you get a place where their is stable electricity,try as much as possible to prepare your own feeds yourself to save cost,do proper monitoring of your fishes and always sort your fishes at least weekly to reduce cannibalism,you can also try out using maggots or dead chickens to boost their weight.

As for marketing, catfish is high in demand and selling them off shouldn't be a problem no matter the economic state of the country.

Am talking from experience as former catfish dealer and farmer.

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Absolute nonsense

Acute disrespect for Aliyu Mai-Bornu and Dr Clement Isong.
Damnnn. No respect for the naira anymore
Use something else to show your painting skills

Meaning what?....why are some individuals like this....seeing nothing good in good things.
If those heroes are alive today, won't they wear facemasks.....

On your own

Asquare84:
Please I am interested in fish farming, but my main challenge is that I live my house by 6 a.m and return by 6 p.m because of the nature of my job. In this case how can I handle the feeding of the fish can I feed them in the morning and return back in the evening and feed them again. I am based in Abuja

Professionally NO........
Its not just about feeding alone. Their are a number of circumstances that may arise with urgent attention.
Get someone you can trust to assist while you're away if you value your investment.

Greetings to everyone as we are striving as a people and nation globally to bring to end the Covid-19 global pandemic.

In Nigeria, particularly Lagos, Ogun and FCT(Abuja), its been over a month now that these States have been on lockdown yet, God has been faithful in providing for our survival.

Covid-19 has indeed shown the world that FOOD, remains the greatest need/desire of mankind for survival irrespective of age and societal status.

Oil, gold, cars and jewelries are secondary desires/wants.

Regrettably, most African governments and we the people had over the decades played lip attention to developing the agricultural sector for abundant food production and supply.

Consequently, as we look forward to the post covid era, it is my sincere wish that the government and the citizenry will begin to look inward in developing the entire agricultural sector and its value chains.

Are you intending to start homestead or commercial catfish farming and needed a professional consultation.

Give us a call or chat 081-537-0613 for all enquiries and assistance

Its fun coming on NL to read some quite, hillarious unbelievable posts.

Honestly, i can't understand your point madam. You breast feed for 24hours

Your man is like some of us who do not believe only the woman shld be responsible for domestic/house chores.

I love doing a lot and thank God i did cos my wife has been out of the country for more than 8months, you need to see the house.

I wondered what my life/house would have been if I'd left her doing it especially in this lockdown.

Please, do what you're suppose to do at the right time and leave him to do what he loves doing.

I really love to start a thread on loving husband....click like if you would love me to open such.....

God bless loving men out there.
