soleexx:
Bro how much do I need in cash to get these set up?

you can start with as low as 100k

Nyceguy92:
Very encouraging.
My question is what is your background?
Did you study Agriculture in school?
What basic knowledge does one need to start?

funny enough it didn't study any agricultural course as my first or second degree but from my uncle who has one of the biggest farms in benin city. Have you heard of ighodaro farms?

wizzprince:
I want you to mentor me in this biz, I am a starter , how can I get in touch with you

I'm not based in the country boss man.

KELVIN086:

Good job sir we rarely see people like you on nairaland ,
But sir my question is how are you able to run this business from Netherlands or do you intend doing it full time here in nigeria and leaving the Netherlands permanently.

when I'm not in the country, my parents and siblings help me to see the day to day running of the business. I send money, journals, vaccines and recipes regularly home too.

youmour:
When i told bae i wanted to go into farming she laughed at me,well only time will tell.plus her dumped her stuupid ashy assss

pls do. You'll profit from it in the long run. Through this farm of mine I've been able to employ like 7 people.

vislabraye:



That's impressive. It must be capital intensive. How did you begin ? The cost, feeding the chicks, and all ?

my startup capital was 500k. I was able to strike a deal with a family friend who was supplying me feeds. They were times I even got feeds on credit. A bag of feed was 2k then and I was buying 20 bags of feeds every week.

Kakamorufu:
wow, a feedmill. Great. I wish to start a poulttry farm tooo, tho am an engineering grad. Can you pls mentor me

slimthugchimee:
nive bro, am following you till eternity...at this moment your my mentor, i plan on setting up this business after my graduation an NYSC then i can manage it and also be doing my masters and then pre-degree...



please i like you educate us on the risk and problem yoy went through before it became this huge

you'll certainly suffer quite a huge percent if you're just starting. I lost a lot of birds when I first started. They were times that I was so helpless and troubled cos I was getting returns not to talk of cost of running the farm.

what about insurance, did you involve or insure any thing in the farm

verabetsy:

sapele road but I'm not in the country now.

osabuohein:
of course but I'll suggest you start small. That way you'll know the business and that way your losses will not be much.

OK thank you.

You no wan change abi? Na to report you give Oga K remain.

Bro in rivers state governor wike said agric is not important o. Money meant for farmers is what he uses for re run in collabo with the commissioner for agric. By now have sold the first set of my fish.

Hi, what you've done is so remarkable and It gladdens my heart to see this. Please I'd like to ask you some questions if you don't mind. can I have your email or phone number. thanks.

osabuohein:

No, I have not heard about the farm.
You must be very determined to be able to achieve what you have so far.

I have always loved poultry and I used to do it on a small scale, mostly for own consumptive.
I am sure you will be a source of motivation for many people who read your post.

Maybe it will be more beneficial to those interested if you will post some gist of how you started: budget, minimum space, materials, source/type of feeds, etc.
God bless your hands.

well done OP, God don already bless u

iseyinoro:

osabuohein:
sapele road but I'm not in the country now.

Bros, you realise 300X30 egg a day = 9000 eggs. How many birds lay 9000egg a day. I think they should be up ...

osabuohein:
I started my farm in 2013 when I went to the Netherlands for my Master's degree with some money I was able to make working while studying. At first it was not easy I must admit. I started my farm with about 1000 birds. I had a lot more f moralities I won't lie but my dad who also has farm was able to put me through and I learned very fast too.

Today I can even boost of over 7,000 birds (Layers, Broilers, Turkeys and Some Day old chicks as well). I'm also currently constructing a fish pond and starting a tomatoes and onions plantation too. I get a minimum of 300 crates in a day.

sir edit that ur 300creates...for u to have 300creates daily u have to have our 1000layers

thanks very bad. I was inspired to start my own farm when I saw how the Netherlands give loans and grants to people who are interested in going into agriculture. They're even given land and seeds too. I'm even thinking of owing a farm here in the Netherlands.

Something is amiss here. U choose carefully ur reply, u haven't answer the dude who asked u about the 300 crate of eggs daily also. No qualms plssss.

OK thanks I'm about doing the same thing , but I'm not sure my parents can run it for me since they are also busy with work and business. I'm also travelling for my masters by January so I wanted to setup a a medium scale piggery poultry and snailery combined . So being able to manage it without someone chopping g me right now is my biggest challenge.
