What Kind Of Farming Can I Venture Into by dukechilezie(m): 3:53pm On Nov 30, 2019 |
I really need your contributions and advice on the kind of farming I can venture into. I have tried poultry farming but I am not really getting positive results. I am thinking of crop farming. Please I need your suggestions on the kind of farming that is lucrative. I am based in Enugu, I have five plots of land. I have the capital as well. Cc: Pavore9 FarmTech |

There's many factors to consider. 1. Can you effectively market what you're producing? 2. What did you do wrong in your poultry/Can you review your poultry production plan and review what you did wrongly to correct it? 3. Never engage in any venture without having market for it even before you start producing 4. Make sure you consult with professionals probably engage a professional for a business for the entire productive systems you intend getting into 5. No agricultural value chain is without its challenges. Every failure can be corrected. Success is as predictable as failure. Make sure you critically and intelligently review your productive systems before quitting 6. Vegetables is good if you have space and good top soil on your property. Ugwu is a money spinner any day anytime and from six weeks you can start sales. 1 Like |

dukechilezie: Marketing is the simplest thing to do. But its difficult. It requires holistic application of intelligent systems. I.e printing hand bills passing them around restaurants, churches, bars etc. What approach did you take in marketing your produce? Can you share some of your marketing successes and failure! Also, broiler is not accepted in every terrain. Its important to check your environs if your produce is marketably accepted before you start producing. Egg production does better anywhrr cause there's someone somewhere with a shop they can be sold to even on credit basis |

Take time to research what crop or product is highly demanded in your area. This you can do by visiting the market. Discuss with different commodity retailers Ask question Listen to what they are saying and the ones they are not saying Ask them who their previous suppliers are What quantity do the retailers buy? Will they be open to new customer? What are the good and the bad things about the other producers? Try to know the other suppliers Ask them questions too What are their challenges? Market research highly recommended Market research is a must for every intending farmer Market research is beyond asking questions online Market research requires fund, emotions and physical committment dukechilezie: 3 Likes 1 Share |

dukechilezie: Stocking 350 broilers is too much ... If you dont have an offtaker... i.e a ready made buyer that will take it at once... Marketing will become a challenge ... Do it in batches like 50 - 100 birds twice in a month... You won have problem marketing 100 birds in a month any environment... U will also learn your rope and get customer along the way Also work on your cost of production... to like 750 -800 per Bird Cos most broiler buyers want 2kg plus between 1k to 1.2k 2 Likes |
