Hello Nairalanders,

As someone who is passionate about agriculture and entrepreneurship, I've decided to start a series where I visit successful agribusiness entrepreneurs across Nigeria to learn firsthand how they built their businesses. My goal is to share practical insights that can inspire anyone looking to venture into agriculture or expand their knowledge of the sector.

For the first episode, I visited an ex-banker in Port Harcourt who started his rabbit farming business with just three rabbits. Today, that small beginning has grown into a business worth millions of naira.

During the interview, we discussed the business in detail—from rabbit breeding to the income opportunities many people overlook. You'll discover how virtually every part of the enterprise has value, including the meat, breeding stock, urine, and droppings used as organic fertilizer.

Rabbit farming remains one of the least talked about agribusinesses in Nigeria, yet it has enormous potential for those willing to learn and do it properly.

If you're curious about agriculture, looking for a profitable business idea, or simply enjoy real-life success stories, I believe you'll find this interview enlightening.

Watch the full interview below, and I'd love to hear your thoughts afterward.

Lol. Three rabbits to start the rabbit farm experiment.

Possibly he was sacked, or he resigned from the bank job. Either way, with a successful 3 rabbits experiment, he put in his savings or borrow from the bank to invest in the rabbit farm business.

Come and see how women will be happy and comfortable that he started with 1 male and two females. They will be happy that he was able to procreate fast with the set up, until they(women) remember that the rabbit actually married two wives, that's when their heads usually explode.

dibunotion:
Una don come again. 3 rabbit as how na

U never heard the say that goes *she just dey born like rabbit*

I just love these animals right from my childhood!

Was reading about it today.
White meat so it is as healthy if not healthier than goat meat but hopefully without the funk.
Can consider trying it but those with a soft heart are warned.
Quite like the fur too.
