Infact, It's Only In Poultry That Increased Cost Of Production Leads To Reduction In Sales Price.A Bag Of Layer Feed Cost Btw 2800 To 3k Yet Prices Of Egg Kept Falling.It's Not Only In Jos,the Madness Is Everywhere.

It is because the farmer allowed it by succumbing to the antics of middlemen. Please go and check egg retail price in market and find out if there is any fall in price, it rather went up. The question then is; who is benefiting from the reduction in the price at the farm? Middlemen of course.

As a farmer you need to be strong financially and don't bite more than what you can chew, i.e. Don't expand beyond resources as that will lead to financial pressure. A situation whereby a farmer must sell the egg production for the day to be able to raise money for the feeds of tomorrow will lead to such farmer taking whatever price offered by the middlemen

In jos, eggs go for as low as 580 to 620. It has been this low for about a month now.

This doesn't make sense. In a period of increasing input cost, I.e. cost of feeds how can we be talking about reduction in the product price? It appears you farmers there have allowed the middlemen to take advantage of you. Or did the price in retail market also come down? If not all the farmers have allowed is increasing the middlemen margin by significantly shrinking farmers margin or even take some to loss making. My advice is to diversify your customers base and increase your working capital to be able to hold egg stock for few days like 3 to 6 days stocking. God bless you

Hi House. I have 520 layers which are 50weeks old. I currently feed them 2.5 bags daily and i get an average of 14crates daily. The issue is with the current rise in the cost of feeds and reduction in the price of eggs, i am considering reducing their feeds to 2 bags daily.

I would need your kind advise on how it can affect production in the short and long run. Cos by feeding them half bag less i get to save 8,900 weekly which would go a long way in increasing the profit margin.

Thank you.

What do you mean by reduction in egg price? There is no such and don't allow some people to deceive you on this. Please don't reduce the level of their feeds otherwise their reduction will fall and you may end up losing more than what you think you can save.
