Rabbit meat is too expensive for students. But very few students might want to buy and also some of those lecturers who care about their health wouldn't mind buying too.

You just have to create your own market within the student environment sir.

You can even target every student with different strategy.

With proper processing, packaging and branding, some students will still go for it.

Why not have different rabbit barbecue spots at strategic locations in various locations. You can start from few schools and expand at your own pace.

You can also sell fresh or frozen rabbit meat with agressive marketing on and off campus.

If we train you, we also sell some of your rabbits for you which is another market too. We have access to both local and foreign market for rabbit.

The suya people grin wouldn't mind grilled rabbits so far it's affordable. Local rabbits should do for that right? Just my opinion.

The frozen aspect to me can only sell faster among older people and those with health challenges who want healthy lean meat. Most students just want to eat meat or fish that are not too expensive, though that's not to say they won't give themselves a treat once in a while. But if you want to capture the students, believe me, you will have to do the "whole grilling" thing. You can employ someone for the grilling aspect if you can't do it yourself (the person will not only grill rabbits but will also grill catfish too. Imagine asking them to point at the rabbit they want and preparing it right before their very eyes! wink (there's nothing as fascinating as that).

How do you see grilling the rabbit meat in chunks did it have high prospect of making sales in that method?

I see that what of if majority cannot afford a whole grilled rabbit meat, the chunk should solve that costing and enable people to be able to afford it na! But I don't know people's thought on how they will accept the chunk grilled or chunk frozen packaged rabbit meat.
What your opinion on that sir?

What your opinion on that sir?

I think both should work out well for grilling. Although, I want to believe that those who will buy frozen packaged rabbit meat for at least 2,500 per kg should be able to afford it whole, without cutting a part of it away. But that's just my opinion anyway - I might be wrong on this. What I believe is that once you start, you will keep modifying your model, depending on how your market's response to it.

If you are making real business assessments, it is a no no in school or students area, they are very expensive, there is a ready market for rabbit beyond what you can offer, but it has to be exotic breeds, a matured one goes as high as 20k up. a kg of rabbit meat is as high as 2500 k

Re: Prospects Of Selling Rabbit Meat For Students And Workers At University by Attit: 8:21pm On Jan 18, 2021
Whenever I see farmers doing rabbit, I tell them that I give them 5 years, 98% of rabbit business will not exist anymore. Simple test. Can they buy the meat they sell at the price they want to sell? Can any of their relatives and friends? Can any of their neighbors? If no, they cannot function. Most small businesses in Nigeria start marketing via family and friends. If your friends cannot afford it, why do you think it is a good business?

I analysed the rabbit business and I realised the starters of this business created a template to buy weaners. It will get to a point not enough people will want to enter the rabbit breeding business. Then, rabbit meat will be the main issue. And what are the alternatives to rabbit meat? Chicken, turkey, beef, goat, sheep, ram, grasscutters etc. Now think deeply. Which meat is more valuable to Nigerians between goat and rabbit? Is goat meat as expensive as the price you want to sell that rabbit meat?

Talking about health, I dont see any health benefit of rabbit again. Chicken is as good as rabbit, but the moment antibiotics and vaccine were introduced, they became bad meat. What people do not understand is that rabbit meat is now rubbish in Nigeria with the way grower bombard them with antibiotics. Now, they have even started using vaccines on them. And you call that a good meat. Lol.

Good luck to anyone who thinks rabbit is the way. When there are no more breeders, those buying weaners from all these breeder will downsize. They already have their tiny market share of rabbit meat. They are already preparing towards it as they have all started their farms. Or am I telling lies? When there are not enough breeders coming in, they will simply become growers too. Who will be the loser? You that is going into it blindly. You are the loser. You are making the rabbit feed sellers and present weaners buyers millionaire at the expense of the collapse of the industry in the next 5 to 10 years.

Grilled meat can be a way out to make at least some profit, but still cannot compete with other kinds of meat. If you put grasscutter down and rabbit beside it, the average Nigerian will go for grasscutter.

Personally, I can not eat rabbit meat. Such creatures are man's friends. Why eat them? sad

Goodluck to rabbit breeders.

Please make a general enquiries on rabbit meat and its market before concluding. We have some humans who consider rabbits more as a pets and should not be slaughtered for meat purpose or related which I think you fall among, this has cloud your judgement on this rabbit of a stuff.

First all these other options u mentioned such as chicken, goat, cattle and such also got vaccinated, or given antibiotics when the need arise for them to. Vaccination is for one or more disease prevention and when you're getting a rabbit meat does not mean it has history of antibiotics or related.

Wake up bro... This is a growing market!

Weather you accept it or not.. It up to you!
Re: Prospects Of Selling Rabbit Meat For Students And Workers At University by samshoz(m): 3:17pm On Jan 21, 2021
Bro, am a rabbit farmer, trust me, you can't meet the rabbit meat demand.

Currently, there is demand for 5tons of meat rabbits by Bella world (Mr. Samson Ogunwole, CEO).

Forget that student prospect, they can't afford it, focus on middle class upward and major restraunts/bars.

You can't meet the demand.

Weather you accept it or not.. It up to you!

I do not make general enquiry, I always make excellent market research. Do not twist it. Answer this simple question?

Can you afford to continuously buy rabbit meat at N2,000 plus per kg when there is an alternative of buying chicken at N1,000 or less per kg?

If you can, how many people will do? But before you start arguing, go and check brokers thread and read about marketing and sales of their products. Lol. Most of you raising rabbits who are first entrants are failed poultry farmers. This is a fact Incan defend. And most of you can die there deceiving new comers just to keep buying weaners from you.

I raise rabbits and I dont eat them. But do I criticize people who do? No. In fact, few people buy to eat and do I criticize them? Even you eat dog, do I care about you? Nope. I almost asked someone go into it and then I looked at it again. Why? I know that the few few buying cannot make it sustainable.

It is obvious you are breeder and you are concerned with selling your weaners. Enjoy it while it lasts. But when the reality comes, you will reduce the price of your rabbits to half of the price of chickens and you will still be begging to sell. Then, you will learn how to reduce cost of production by not buying commercial feed and feeding them only grasses. And then, the trouble will be too much and you will just be frustrated out of it. You better learn how to read market well so you dont waste 5 years precious time breeding rabbits and then you are frustrated out. Those who entered it at the early stage selling breeds are those who will have no regret. But then, they will face the reality very soon, and they will be back to square 1. Only those who have customers who they supply meat to. And what is the percentage of rabbit consumers? It has not increased a bit. In fact from my last investigation, it has dropped terribly in the last 2 years.

Go and educated yourself with drugs usage in rearing livestocks and familiarize yourself with modern laws in countries where sanity exists. Then after, we can discuss.

Goodluck!

How much is 5 tons? Does he ask you supply 5 tons daily? You are even buttressing my point that these people are building their market for themselves. You will.be the loser at the end of the day. Go and ask how many tons daily poultry farmers sell, before you say rabbit is making waves. Answer this question: is the person not starting a meat farm of his? Of course, he is still making casual requests from you. But wait till that time arrives. Lol. That's when your eyes will clear he is going to dump 100% plus 1 of you when the scheme pyramid bursts and no new breeders are going in to buy weaners. It will soon break. Trust me. Ask pig farmers when exotic breeds first arrived. Lol.

How many restaurants have rabbit meats as their menu? How many customers will want to pay for a smaller meat cos its rabbit in Nigeria? Grasscutter vs rabbit...whuch do Nigerians prefer? As you are now, is it not the cheap option you always go for? Ok. Go and check the culture even in this forum, do Nigerians go for quality? Why is it that Chinese inferior goods flood our market? Have you noticed that everytime there is a change in product preference in Nigeria, the cheaper option takes it? How did Biggy takes a significant market share from Cocacola? How did Bimbo or those chinese detergents send Ariel by Proter and Gamble away? I can continue lecturing you Market 101. You better not allow one man use you develop his business and then dump you. If you had been in the poultry business you would have known that there were programs like this that when the organizers reached the optimum meat supply, they closed the scheme. And then, to maximize profit, they started producing their meat instead of buying from schemes they set up. The said man has not yet got his meat production level to the Capacity he wants. It is why he asks you to supply him. Wait till he does it, and he will never reach out again. Let me tell you. He has started this cos he is being proactive towards the time there will be no new comers. Breeders without meat market will be the losers. He is a smart man. Lol.

First of all...
You are into your opinion!

The world is vast and thought is wide...
If I decide to go into rabbit meat production and farming, it's my decision.
Did you know the unique business idea have setup to tackle the probs that may arise..?

All what you say even confirm the findings av made concerning the market for this business. If you fail in this business or someone close to you failed doesn't mean that is the end of the world for the business...

Try to be creative, if a new idea comes up which increase the acceptance rate of rabbits as it is growing currently and also tackle the cost issue involved currently then do u think the story will be the same...
You gave up on a business doesn't give other pple reason to give up too..

You said i should learn on livestock drugs and usage and laws guiding countries and blablabla.. I will tell you I don't need to because I had already. Am a DR, a vet, so I should be the one to teach you in case you wanna learn more with the one u know(if you know any) , even if you've been in this business for 50yrs am still the boss.(especially at medics stuffs)

But my say is, don't conclude on a thing.. Ideas rules the world not experience... You have experience doesn't mean you the boss, those that offer solution are the boss. I salute you for your wide range of knowledge and I also learn from what you wrote up there.

If you notice my first post seems simple at the beginning of this thread... Isnt? , it actually to get peoples opinion in which yours is one, it great to have your comment on this post and give your opinion but going further to criticize the business the more is what you should desist from... Cus it shows your scope is still within a shallow range.. If you could see beyond that scope then I think you would think like using this disadvantage you mentioned all above to create a unique strategies to curb this problems....

As a business man you are not sent to all, I
mean everyone, you should have your own market share and then you grow along with it, but with your comments av seen you already concluded and given up about this rabbits of a stuff, it ur decision, and I can't change that!

But I really appreciate your insight to this busines, I will work on them thanks!

I have picked what I need to. And those who read deeply can pick what they need to pick. Obviously, I know where you are heading. A vet trying to market his business here via an imaginary story. Lol. You brought marketing 101, and the analysis is in front of you, and you got angry. Lol. Instead of you as someone seeking opinions to sit and digest all, you got irritated. The person seeking our views is even the one defending it aggressively. Lol. But your defence is we should be "creativity". Be creative where the market share is extremely low. Boss indeed you are. Lol. Thank God you have shown who you are from A to Z here. Actually, you came "simple" like you said to "sample" people. If you have the real positive attitude and you want to read opinions of people, you will definitely consider the issues. But you are here to confuse and convince people by any means using your simple stories and then you later say you have breeding stocks, and can give them very good service as a vet, by all means..you must defend the business that it is highly lucrative. Lol. Some of us arent daft.

But guess what? I'm not going to let you see me from A to Z. You cannot know me "finished". I senior you with that - by staying silent in that and not burst my bubble.

So, you know the idea will work, why then bring it here? I wish you the best.

But those of you reading and they bring rabbit to you, just know that the market they are talking about now will crash in 2 to 3 years, max of 5. Too many breeders are in it now. Too many. If you enter it, it will take you 1.5 to 2 years to start making profit because you will want to have enough rabbits. You will buy feed from that man encouraging you before you make 1 kobo for many months You will pay this vet so much before making 1 kobo yoo. It may even take you 3 years or more to get the number you target. Breeding business is not a short term stuff. It is why I wrote earlier that the ones who entered it first are those enjoying it. They are selling weaners at extremely high price calling them breeders to you. A just dey laugh when I hear it. It will break soon. And when it breaks, you will end up wasting 3 years of multiplying your rabbits. Your cages will become useless also. Vets and breeders are the winners, while you will be the loser.

Please, if you are reading me, go and try to see if you can sell rabbit meats. If you cannot sell rabbit meats, run away. Selling weaners is temporary. And ask yourself the question, can you (the seller) buy the meat at the prices you want to sell? Can your close relatives and friends buy at the prices? If yes, then go ahead. There are chances you can survive it. If not, think twice.

Nigeria is not a high class nation for now. Instead of people buying your meat, they will buy beef. Of course, you can sell via other means. You can do barbeque, etc. But do you really think rabbit barbeque meat can compete with Suya? Even chicken barbeque cannot. So, is it rabbit barbeque which will compete with suya? Not saying one person cannot find a temporary market, but will it last?

What I have written up is common sense. And like they say common sense is not common. If after reading through what I have written, and the responses of this vet who wants to lure you into it so he can make money from you, and you still fall for it, hmmmmm. It is well. Remember I told you, breeders and feed sellers will use their existence defend it. One category is added - Vets. I'm serious - they are not your friends. They are after your money.


Find a farmer who is into it, and ask very well about the meat market. He may not discourage you, but he will NEVER release his market. But just write here and ask for help about poultry, you will even see people who are willing to assist you with contacts to sell. These are signals. Yet, they will still tell you that it is hard. But people still sell. I am yet to see a rabbit farmer who will release or assist others where he sells his meat. This is to tell you that it is not that lucrative. No one who has a little market for it will ever want to release it. Why?The market is slim and tight, and will never boom anytime soon. The way these people market breeding cos they want to sell weaners, it will breaks soon. Please, run away. Read through the discussion again.

Remember, common sense is not common.

Goodluck!

About 6 people have asked me for his contact because they know when he writes. This is why we cannot afford to lose him too. I am one of his partners, and other members begged him to not leave but he refused to open so I opened this for him. Please, do not miss this chance again by attacking him.
