Fingerlings are 15 naira while Juveniles are 35 naira. Broodstocks are about 7,000 a pair. Why buy eggs when you can own the chicken?
Are you in Abuja and you need to setup an hatchery on your existing fish farm?
Please get across privately. I will setup the hatchery using your existing facilities and mentor your workers on the hatching process, constantly monitor the project all at an affordable cost.

dear house,
I am aware of the challenges a lot of us have with selling our stocks this period.
the main reason is as a result of excess supply of fish in the market.
this excess supply came as a result of over stocking by existing farmers and a lot of newbie farmers investing for the first time.
we can only help the situation by reducing stocking, not relying on high debt capital especially short term to do agricultural business, encouraging the next generation of newbies to learn the rope and stock small no matter how much they are willing to invest.
also our consultants that are after the fees deceiving people to come for training just to earn a living should desist from such. agriculture is not a make money quick venture and real farmers will help without receiving a dime like we do to ourselves on this forum.
you will notice that a bunch of consultants came together to fix price of fish on the round table at N600. these are not practicing farmers, they are opportunists that are enjoying govt grants while the real farmers can't make any profit from this price.
let's wake up. thank God price is based on the law of demand and supply not the sitting of a group of people. when supply reduces let's see how their N600 will work.
if i may forecast properly the price of fish will go up by November cos most farmers that have sold at this price can't come back and the taste buds of consumers have increased, therefore this is the best time to invest and not be discouraged.
let me use this opportunity to encourage farmers to freely enlighten us on how they are overcoming this harsh selling time.
for me I dry and sell. I also sell to pepper soup sellers. my price is not favourable to the middle men cos of the glut. I also don't wait till harvest. I harvest as soon as I have demand no matter the age of my fish or the quantity demanded.
I also advise farmers I meet not to stock their fish at once. farming is not a part- time job. it's an occupation. therefore it is not a venture you put 10000 Fish at once and expect to sell in two days or a week of your leave period. that's one reason for this excess supply. you have to do it slow and steady. you can stock this 10000 as 2500 Pieces every four weeks so that your sales will not put you under pressure. and you can sell one to feed the other.
most investors in the agric sector only want to make money and run away that's why they fall into the hands of fake consultants who tell them they can make 100% in 6 months with little capital. note: do u know a real farmer don't have all this time.
most of us don't even know the real cost of feeding fish today. let me hint you.
1200 juveniles will cost me N350k to buy and feed alone to achieve an aggregate of 650kg of fish in six months with good feed to get good result if not the kg will be even lesser with formulated cheap feed . this is not inclusive of overhead cost. so press your calculator to determine your selling price and then divide your profit by 6 to get your monthly profit and tell me if those consultants that determined price are farmers. .
the glut will soon be over.
thanks.

Ttalk:
You made a valid point and I would say it is insulting to recommend such ridiculous price when catfish substitutes such as Croaker., Titus, Mackerel fish is above 1000naira per kg. Why then would they now bring a live catfish with better value below iced fish that is not live.
The only reason for this is an attempt to create a monopoly where only the big boys would be player. They have cornered incentives in form of subsidy, grants and loan meant for majority farmers.
Why is it easy for them to arrive at a selling price for farmers and they have nothing to do concerning inflated price of imported feeds. Are they in the business of importation of feed as well?
