Be not deceieved, every aspect of agriculture on paper can give you more than that. So, greenhouse, openfield, animal husbandry, cashcrop, herbs, roots, etc. They all can; however, if all conditions are met.

What are the conditions?
1. Minimum of 95% efficiency performance
2. Stable workers
3. Non violent neigbors
4. Availability of seeds to sow, fertilizer, manure, etc. and feed for animals everytime. (Not possible in this present Nigeria. You just keep changing brands)
5. Direct access to consumer. If you go through sales agents, they do not have your interest as their priority. Therefore, they sell to make money for themselves. Their interest comes first, while yours comes second.

Solution:
1. You must go through the learning curve of the area you have chosen.

2. You will be lucky to not fall a victim to bad workers. Almost everyone learn by experience. And it is always losses at the end of the tunnel.

3. You need time to build your market if you want to sell directly to consumers. Trust me, you can never be really rich if you use agents. You work for agents.

4. You may need time to really develop animal feed after trying many formulars. It takes time. Again, you may need to find excellent varieties you habe access to and not depend on any of these seed companies in Nigeria.

5. You must learn management very well so you can be a good manager.

Well, this recommendations are for small scale farmers. $10,000 start up capital is a micro scale business in Agriculture.

So, no matter the idea you pick from this forum, never jump into it thinking you will start making whatever your projection is.

Sit down and learn very well.

Hello guys!

I hope you have gained so much following this thread?


My team and I have been thinking of ways to better preach this message of agribusiness. In my own capacity, I have been teaching on several topics within my niche (poultry).



However, recent events have shown that lots of persons who are into poultry are also interested in other niches like crop farming, commodity trading, plantain plantation, and more.



More also, we discovered that there are many unemployed youths who instead of picking interest in agribusiness would rather die job hunting.



We know that everyone can't venture into agribusiness but if we can get just 10% of the ridiculous number of unemployed youths to at least listen and join in this business then we would have changed the world.



Last year we hosted the first ever agribusiness online conference and had massive turn out to the extent we had to transcribe the event into an eBook and send free to both participants and those who couldn't get in.



We used WhatsApp as the platform and since this platform was limited to only 256 persons, we had several others desperately waiting in line. Many who couldn't get in felt really bad but since they got the event transcribed this feeling was later changed.



The event had over 100 testimonials from attendees showing how deeply they felt about the event, what they learnt and how motivated they were.




We saw for the first time that, agribusiness is not a choice venture but a must business and that agribusiness contrary to the poverty notions it has had in the past can make anyone a Millionaire!



This was the reason why we tagged the event, MILLIONS In Agribusiness (MIA). Our vision is to make Millionaires in Agribusiness and until you become one, we will not stop.




We are currently working on the next edition of the MIA which by God's grace will take place in March but my kind of person likes to be prepared on time. So we are reaching out to you.



This is not a compulsion. You're at liberty to join or not.

The first group we created for the MIA is almost full. We will create more to accommodate anyone interested in joining.



In addition to the MIA Conference 2.0 in view, I intend to teach on the other series promised ie the concept of livestock feeds making. This will start next week.



I would have done the series here but it may require I use voice notes sometimes, or even videos and these are not possible on this platform. Also, I am trying to manage my time as I am very busy. Shuttling between platforms to teach hasn't been easy.



Would you like to participate in the next MIA?

Would you like to learn about, how to make your own poultry feeds?

Would you like to benefit from other experts in different niches?

Send a request to the phone numbers attached to my profile picture. Please WhatsApp only

You will receive the link to join the platform FREE!

PS. Do not drop your numbers here or on the WhatsApp numbers given. We don't add, you will have to click the link we send you to join. We want you joining at your will.

PSS. Do not send a request if your job is only to scam or spam the group. We will find you and delete you then further stop you from future entries.

You will find the picture attached to this post as profile on the WhatsApp number to send request to.

Request opens from today Tuesday 20th February 2018 through - Saturday 25th February 2018. All groups will be closed after this date.


I will see you there.

Peace!

OK

MasExcel19:
In the last 2 steps, I taught you how to approach the hotel or restaurant and make an insider your friend.

Plus how you can use that to your advantage to approach the person in charge.

Here is the thing...

A lot of persons don't know how much information or help they can get from people they tag small in organizations. So they underrate them and lose out in opportunities.

Please don't be them.

3. I like to assume that you have done the first two steps and now have 2 numbers - that of the waiter and the manager or the person in charge of procurement.

But just in case something went wrong and by chance you only have the waiter's number. It is time to call that number again.

This time, you already are familiar. Tell the waiter your intentions.

Tell him, you're a poultry farmer and can supply his hotel with chickens. Ask for his help.

Ask if he knows who is in charge of buying chickens for the hotel or restaurant.

Ask him for the number of the person in charge. If he refuse to give for whatever reason.

Move on to ask him to at least tell you when it is most likely to find his boss. You will like to speak to the person.

Ask if he has any details on size and price they usually buy from other customers.

Ask if he can put in words for you before you meet the boss.

Thank him sincerely and end the call but as soon as you do that send a NGN200 recharge card.


4. On your visit again, make sure to confirm that the waiter friend will also be around but if not no problem.

Make sure you have your offer ready in hand which is properly written down in your proposal.

Make sure to have your complementary card.

Make sure you're dressed like a boss. Don't go there looking like you're begging them to buy from you.

You have what they need. You are not begging.
You have a way to save them money, stress or something.

For instance, if they usually go buy the chickens themselves from farms and spend on transportation. Your offer could state that you will bring the birds to them for free.

What if they spend money on processing? You can help them do all that before bringing it to them.

5. As soon as you're done with your negotiations and have reached a good price say this, we are currently running a promo at our farm. We give NGN50/chicken to persons who connects us to other buyers.

Explain it...

What I mean is that if you link us up with anyone and they buy 100 chicken from us, we will give you NGN5,000. If 200 chicken NGN10,000 and we can deliver weekly.

*Extra*

Don't just stop at the Manager's desk if its a hotel.

Move to the receptionist introduce yourself and tell them what you do. Then move on to make the same NGN50/chicken offer to him/her. Say the same words.

They will be the persons asking you for your card or number.

You know why you had to still meet the receptionist?

She is the first person you will meet if you want to book a hall for any event.

So yes they can help you.

If you have fliers of your offers, you can drop them with him/her. It will help her help you.

There are at least 12 more value chain you can reach. I stated some of them in my earliest posts on this series. Do you remember?

The truth is this, those ones are even more powerful than any of what you have read here.

In fact they are the same method big companies use in selling thousands of chickens every single day.

I showed you proof of this before ever starting this series.

Remember that screen shot?

One might even ask, what if I don't have a thousand chicken to sell?

There is a way you can create linkages between different farmers and stand out to be a supplier. That concept is a broad topic on its own.

What if you know all these things but don't even know how to write or pitch yourself before big hotels like Nicon or big eateries as chicken and sides?

Even if I ever decide to teach these deep secrets, it will be only to maximum 20 persons and they must prove beyond reasonable doubt that they're going to use every single thing I teach because I hate to waste my time.

But I am still thinking about it.

The thing fit just hit me one morning .

Peace

I pray make e hit you soon o, lol
you are doing a great job here
God bless you.

Warning: This is an optional service and not a continuation of our series. If you would like to know what it is, continue reading

Over the years, we have refused to include booking of DOC, pullets or turkeys or procurement of poultry equipments as a part of our services but recent event shows that most of our students still have difficulty finding their footing while trying to get birds after being taught and because there are too many fakes, it is difficult to always buy the breed of choice.

Once you buy the wrong breeds supposedly to be from the hatchery farm you want, the risks of mortality is high, chances of having too many wrungs or even a mix of broilers and cockerels as all broilers is also high and this affects your profiting and your business as a whole.

I have had to go through the stress of explaining all the concept again every single time to my students.

So we thought, why don't we just take this burden from you and help you do the booking/procurement?

This is like taking all the stress you're supposed to go through and making sure you get your birds or equipment delivered to you in safe hands.

Hence forth, we now provide booking/Procurement services for ONLY interested persons. We can reach you nation wide.

Here is what we will do for you:

1. We will make sure you get quality chicks directly from hatchery farms of your choice.

2. We will show you the EXACT prices of DOCs, Noilers, Turkeys, cockerels, Pullets as auctioned by the different hatchery farms available. This way you buy at the cheapest prices available. You can then choose from the list.

2. Then we will help you place order after you have made your choice and paid the said amount for the order.

3. We will facilitate the delivery of your order to you by connecting you with the driver or the person (s) at the collection points nearest to you.

4. In case of mortality, we will help you resolve the issues and in worst cases share the loss with you. However, terms and conditions will apply in this case.

5. In case you're new and lack the experience, we will share with you efficient management guide including vaccination procedures and schedules.

Please note the following:
a. Collections are done every Tuesdays and Mondays after confirming orders. Time is usually 6.30am but there could be variations due to distance.

b. Orders are placed on or before 10am on Mondays for Tuesday's collections and on or before 10am on Thursday's for Friday's collections.

c. Our charge is N10 per bird.

Strategies of selling to the "Roasted Point" guy

Let me quickly state here that there are so much similarities between the Roasted Point guys and the Slaughtering point guys. For instance, how you approach them is the same, most times they are also far from your farm, and much more.


However, there are also much difference in the buyer psychology of the Roasted point guy and that of the slaughtering point guy. We also find difference in their expectations in weight, how much they are willing to pay, their target market and more.


For instance, the Roasted point guy is okay buying matured birds of 5 weeks up wards. He wants to buy very cheap then prepare the chicken to suit the taste of his customers. His challenge might be the time or cost of processing each chicken. I mean slaughtering and washing.


Your offer should be able to save him money of processing each chicken. You can offer free processing if you can or charge small for it.

Most of them also spend so much money buying ice blocks used in preserving the chickens in absence of electricity and if you are in a place where there is constant electricity. You can provide them frozen chickens or give ice blocks free or sell at subsidized rates.

Other strategies sited while discussing the "slaughtering point guy " can also be applied here.


Here is more:

There are a lot of things you can do to help the customer perceive your chicken to be the best.

Its easy, provide your customer with quality chickens that have more meat than fats. Chickens that are also very healthy both in looks and consumption. This would mean that you have to be good at making your feeds and including efficient farm practices on your farm.

One of the ways to sell out your chickens so fast is to make the customer see that your chickens are in high demand and that it is scarce too and you can do this even if you're just selling for the very first time.

For instance if you are in need of say *Pencil*. This pencil is rear to find and on chance you get to see it in one particular shop but the problem is that there is only one left and will take may be forever to ever find that same pencil again. Would you not do anything to get it?

Every time you make your buyers perceive that your product is scarce and of high demand, you increase their chances of buying from you. Not only will they buy but they will also buy at a reasonable price too.

In my next post, I will show you how you can spice up your strategy making your customer perceive your chicken to be of high demand.

Talk soon

patiently waiting bro, May God keep you safe and sound.

Turks:
So many wrong notions. I'm sure you're going by what you told. We've been to and patronized loads of hatcheries in Nigeria and we know what's obtainable regarding standards and practices.


*Zartech doesn't just have the Cobb 500. They also have other strains among other things. So many antibiotics; why not go the organic way?
