Why is pig rearing not common in Nigeria?
Is it that there are little to no demands for pork meat?

It's not peculiar to piggery alone. There are many units/sections of agriculture that could have been invested in and create employment for millions of Nigerians and also generate revenue for the government and citizens.

Sadly, they don't care because they can't make the type of money they embezzle within 4 years from agriculture. So, everyone can't sacrifice his belly for the citizens that elected them.

I feel it is due to the fact that a section of the population does not eat it. Thereby cutting down d market size when compared to other animal husbandry.
Secondly, it takes a whole lot of input and effort due to how d environment can be stinking.

The few people that are into it are really cashing out!!!

Piggery is very capital intensive to start up.
It is generally considered as a dirty business especially as compared with other type of animal farming.


Generally pork meat is not as widely accepted as others. Poultry or beef for instance. It is actually forbidden by Islam religion and only some Christians accept it also due to religious reasons. So the demand is low compared to beef or chicken.

Also I think to farm pigs commercially it takes a longer period to start breaking even and returns on investment. Not many are willing to take the risk involved in rearing due to the long time frame involved. It’s a long term investment.


Also outbreak of diseases ( swine flu) for instance often discourage prospective farmers. Existing farms also battle with many of these diseases while many are being shut down especially the larger ones.

Lastly lack or absence of information on piggery thereby limiting those that start up or go into piggery as a form of business.

This is not to say it is not a lucrative business however. From my little and humble experience I will say pig farming is one of the most lucrative aspects of agriculture.

I love pork.

Only one person is selling it in the whole city where I am I have to drive down for more than 30 minutes to get there

Haven't you heard of pig estates? Nigerians are fully into pig farming.

Same thing with my area o. I later found out that he buys from other farms to be able to meet up with demand! He told a friend that even if five persons start the pig farm here, the demand will still be high!

How can pigs farm their own kind?

We love foreign Chicken, Fish and Turkey more

Fulani cattles from far away Muritiania always taste better to Nigeria

Rams from Chad, Senegal and Niger are the best for Nigerians

Okporoko, stock fish from Norway and Finland taste better than our own catfish as Nigeria

Canned Sardine, Canned sweet corn and beef from America is sweeter in our mouth

Did u mean flying pigs abi na agbado pigs

Let it remain unexplored. That is the business I’ll retire into. Who hears of cocoa farmers? The ones I know are wealthier than governors.

It's not generally accepted meat.

Muslims doesn't eat it, even some Christian and traditionalist

You think your friends care becoz they listen attentively when you share your problems but it jus makes em feel better about their own shitty situations. Your pain is their relief. Pay attention.

I heard is profitable.

Pork is even cheaper than beef

Pigs are unclean animals according to biblical standards!

Point... Nigeria is not a productive nation. Everybody just want to connect to the center and claim big boy. Therefore, the big thieves want to be oga at the center by all means hence the killings and destruction to go to the center. A candidate even said he will fight dirty to be at the center while his counterparts in the UK are resigning from the center because, they saw they couldn't handle.

Interesting

hmmmmm

lol how many people dey chop Pig he jus be like Dog...

Because it is haram (forbidden) in Islam so Muslims won't come near it.

So much money in this business tbh
