Farmers in the house pls help me i got a stretting 4mm pellet feed for my fishes inside of floating pls i hope it wont have negative effect on my fishes. Uncle robnoski and other Farmers pls advice me

Though I did get your request precisely cos you did not give a vivid picture but my guess is that you saw 4mm size of feed in your feed probably smaller mm.....its a pelleting issue most time except if rebagged....

Nevertheless, don't be too worried, the fishes are smarter not to eat what is bigger than the mouth size...furthermore, the floating will equally dissoved in no time, making it easy for them to feed on....Nothwithstanding, be mindful you don't have excess of such as it may lead to water pollution.

"Any investment that DOES NOT give an Annual ROI that exceeds the annual inflation rate is not an investment, but a Charity"

Please read the statement again with the emphasis in red. Any investment that DOES NOT give ROI THAT EXCEEDS inflation means the investor is doing charity.

Good morning and happy Sunday....good clarification...the area that seems unclear was who will be doing charity?....and that you have cleared....."Investor"....

Offcourse, no business minded investor would invest on such, nevertheless, too attractive ROI could as well be a bait...hence we take our time to inform our prospective investor the ROI on any of our project and all its terms and condition.

Any investment that does not give an Annual ROI that exceeds the annual inflation rate is not an investment, but a Charity. Any returns below the inflation rate means your money is losing value.

While I wish you the best in the launch of your new platform, I will be willing to invest in your platform if your returns far exceeds the inflation rate. This is the only way to make sure your investors are not losing money.

Thanks for your comment.....but I guess your lines sounds unclear if I read well

"if Annual ROI exceeds Annual Inflation....CHARITY and if below, money LOSS..but you will prefer Charity".....kindly clear.....

We hope to delight our prospective investors as we are currently doing. However, we share
knowledge with our prospective investors before they invest....one of our uniqueness....and we are
opened to learning as agribusiness is a new investment concept in the 21st century, reasons why the
financial institutions are still skeptical about funding farming.

Hope to hear from you.

Thrive Agric is way better in terms of ROI. The ROI on new farmcrowdy farms is about half of what Thrive Agric offers.

I'm happy reading inquries like this....I strongly believe we are getting there soon as a people and as a nation.

The truth is that our perception or understanding of ROI is often misinterpreted and the reason is that their are different ways of arriving at ROI.
Also, a promoter may attach ROI directly with Capital like a fixed interest and others may attach it with net profit which is the commonest.

Farmcrowdy so far as been a great concept and they have earned my salutation inspite of us running similar business idea......lol....

Hopefully, come month of May, 2018 we shall officially launch ours which has been in existence since 2015 but aren't making noise about it......we have taken our time to ensure that 85% of future challenges that may arise has been mitigated.

Finally, however small an ROI turns out to be in agriculture, it will be far better than leaving that money in the bank or investing it in financial product.....no crime with that but if we all run away with our money, whats the fate of agriculture......

Lets join hands together and support innovative ideas after carrying out our due deligence.
God bless Nigeria farmers, God bless Nigeria

Farming is not just talking but DOING....I'm glad seeing these young aspiring agropreneurs doing farming and not just talking farming.

The rain is gradually here, what are you still waiting for?

It takes a novice to see such offer and jump at it without expert analysis.
Just on feeding alone.....worth of #900,000 to feed 5000pcs amounts to #180/fish to expect 650g......failed.

Hello guys, CAFAN in Akwa Ibom just introduced an Anchor growers scheme in the state for 1000 farmers.
It is a CBN loan that will involve a company giving farm inputs to farmers and buying all the fish during harvest
The summary of it all is this:
1. You will be given at least 5000 juveniles @ N40 per one = N200,000
2. You will be given 150 bags of a Nigerian feed at N6000 per bag =N900,000
3. cash for the farm management n salaries
Everything will sum up to about 1.3m
Note: you will not be given physical money but the inputs will be supplied to you.
At the end of 3 months, the uptaker will come and harvest your fish and pay N500 per kilo
You are meant to have atleast 3250kg of fish at harvest to qualify for another loan.

Please kindly assist to analysis
Is the pricing ok for the fingerlings and feed?
The price per kilo is it okay too since they r buying all at once.
then, will d 150 bags of feed be enough to grow them to 650g in 3 months?

Thank you for the warn welcome sir. pls at what stage do one prone ugu, I was told its important so as to bring more and better leaf(I don't no how true) and how do one sell I mean is there a specific measurement and the average price because I no it will be differ due to location and lastly what the best way to market it. looking forward to your swift responds( from all the gurus in d house ooo) Thanks

First, let me say we should endeavour to learn whatever will help our business to succeed however the cost...this is a bitter truth.
My candid advice is to first consult the expert, they will show you how and where to cut so as to give room for more development without having to kill it. Online explanation may not be satisfactory.

From my little experience, we learn everyday.....once your ugu has a minimum of three long branches of an arm stretch, they are due....watch out for where they show a greater branch off....CUT...out of the say the three, cut from two......

There are no precise sales measurement or average price...prices are subject to law of supply and demand......you can find out whats obtainable in your community.....

How to market.....my style of marketing cannot be the same as yours....but generally, visit the ugu market and find out how best you can penetrate.....there are different categories, those who buy lorry loads directly from farm, those who buy from the big buyers and those who retail.......

We invite interested farmer to join our suscribed group which kicks off in April, together we can achieve more and solve our perculiar challenges.

Pls I just started ugu farming, I need guildlines and advice.

New ugu farmers, you are very welcome.....how may we be of assistance

Hmmm...working into any banks in Nigeria, my first point is their "rate board"...indicating daily currency rate...
Down the board is the saving interest which in most banks reads 4.5%..
But in my many years of banking, I'm yet to see an alert showing such despite my daily, weekly and monthly balance...
Please, when exactly does the bank pays this interest....on what terms and conditions do they or not pay..

It is no longer a debate on the reality of unemployment mostly prevalent amongst the graduate youths.
Survival of many young Nigerians now depends largely on the skills they possess. Converting such skills to ventures is a great challenge due to lack of funding for start ups.
As an organisation, we've been able to help few out of this critical stage with our meagre resources, the stage many bigger organisation feared the most.
Nuturing new start ups and assisting existing one to scale up requires more funding.
Consequently, we seek for investors/ partners to reach our goals.
Interested, leave your enquiries.
Thanks.

I still wonder why some very intelligent, young agile and good character personified Nigerians still wanders the street in search of a job when they can simply build a career from a humble begining.
Today, the most attractive jobs every young graduate aspires are banking, oil and gas, telecommunicstion, etc.
My experience in two of a Nigeria commercial banks today prompted this writeup as each of the bankers(cashiers) lamented the nature of their jobs as against monthly take home.
One was curious enough to ask me how easy my job is...and i simply told him I'm an entrepreneur in the non-financial sector. No job is actually easy but some comes with a lot of ease and satisfaction.
To meet target, banks sends out their marketers to woo depositors whereas as an independent marketer you can as well get such depositors and determine your weekly/monthly wages with a redefine technology at your disposal.
All you need to kick start this is a pos machine and an ATM....
