ARE FARMERS RICH?
www.myagricworld.com
Can Agricultural Business or farm work Alone make you wealthy As Dangote/Adenuga

If you go into agriculture from the scratch with little capital as will have said, in NIGERIA? You would even be struggling to pay your bills talk less of living above average, talk less of becoming a millionnaire and talk less of being a Dangote and Adenuga, Who told u those 2 guys are farmers in the 1st place? www.myagricworld.com
You will be making common mistakes if you call Dangote a farmer, Dangote is an Agri-businessman not a farmer.... to view know my opinion on this Question... visit the link below www.myagricworld.com ..
i render consultancy service for any intend agribusiness. mainly AGRONOMY..no livestock I also help my client prepare a comprehensive feasibility study on their intend project.
i also training my clients on how to multiply plaintain/banana suckers, maize breeding, vegetable farming.. Not theory oooo.. Praticals

@earthen pond experts, how do u hatch and rear ur fish to juvenile size b4 introducing them to the earthen pond. i ask this cos i went to my location today and the water table is very high, building anything there wit concrete will be so expensive as d foundation has to be pile foundation.

network with other fish farmers, add value, do melange or not above 1kg(moves easily) , there is always market, just keep contacts & look for your own niche. Join association(i mean fish networks it helps), especially for some of us that aint good in marketing

Bro wht about the above questions about washing of the plastic tanks wif any chemicals and d feeds complications
E
concerning feed, it is mgt that would determine if /even if using d best feed will give desired result. Almost or all feeds are good if not fake. If u dont overfeeding no challenge & u have water, all good. No need chemicals for pest control,all pest are food for your fishes, from d mosquito larvae, cockroaches, termites e.t.c, but initially u can disinfect with blagdon or formalin or water with hypo, sunlight, permanganate etc, but rinse well before introducing d fishes for some of this agents

@mercylicious, sorry for late response. I hope someday i will meet someone who spawn pure hetero successfully. Same stocking density as clarias, just that wen they get bigger (4kg each), they require more space. Same feed as clarias. Male & Female can stay together for more than 2yrs. Thesame management as clarias, just slight difference. They are not as strong compared to clarias, they need more care especially while stocking or sorting.
Note: Earthen pond is best for them, cos its the closest replica to their natural habitat. Below is 300pcs of 5kg pure hetero spp. Tnx

Increase in price of fish feed is biting everyone. I am also feeling it here. Even the local feed ingredients have increase in prices too.
As farmers, we need to be more united in setting a minimum price of fish per kilo. Farmers should top selling fish for less than N500 per kilo. U aint doing urself any favour and u are spoiling d market for other fish farmers.
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 1:10pm On Feb 23, 2015
concerning feeding things.
That my friend dt owns a fish farm is now a feed distributor. u can consider dt to make d price cheaper. nairalanders that their farms are close can pull funds together and buy in bulk.
