It is not generally accepted.
Diseases can send you out of business if not properly managed.
Feeding regime can be unstable. PKC is presently scarce and very expensive.

Cost of feeding.

Do you know of a cheaper way to feed pigs? Or a cheaper way to produce their foods naturally?

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.

Lolz. Many Muslims now eat pock low key. Manu alfas also use it for preparinf concoctions

It is very common in 5 states of Nigeria.

Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB said they are pigs and idiots.

Uwazurike of MASSOB said they are the most foolish people worldwide.

Asari Dokubo claimed them as Ijaw slaves.

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 tell you... I only risk sharing when I need help but most times, the help doesn't even come. My brother, it's better to die in silence if you are in Nigeria or die trying . Everybody is a pretender and a hypocrite. Burials ceremonies will give you a clue

You can trust Nigerians if the market is there and money is flowing in steadily we will do more than explore

Words on marble.

Cos of GBESE no govt back up

The ruling class in Nigeria (the leading politicians) are mostly Muslim.

Muslims don’t eat pork. They also don’t like to invest in it.

However if Oyinbo people later declare that Nigerian-grown pork is their favourite import, I believe politicians will find a way around their religion to produce it in commercial quantities.

dawnomike:
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!!!

Most of the big piggeries I have heard about are situated in the core North.

Probably demand. How many eat pork?? with the hygiene and tape worm issues?

Most ppl know it's haram in Islam.

Now let's quickly review some Judaic Law and Christianity Scripture.

"What does the Bible say about eating pork?
In Leviticus 11:27, God forbids Moses and his followers to eat swine “because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud.” Furthermore, the prohibition goes, “Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.” That message is later reinforced in Deuteronomy."

Because half of the population won't do it because of religion.

because muslims(fulani) secretly run Nigeria!

Pork meat isn't popular thanks to them.

Alot of Nigerians only realise people actually consume pigs when they leave Nigeria.

The flow of meat is controlled by Muslims.

You did good. You managed to insult a whole religion and tribe with bigotry in one post. Clap for yourself.

There are Muslims in Ghana too but pork meat is widely consumed.

I don't think the demand is very high because of the Muslim population that don't eat it

The answer is simple. Many peoplen,tribes, culture don't accept pig as a meat.....
