Poultry farming |
Idris, who made this known in an interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna, described poultry farming as a lucrative
business a woman could do with little stress.
She also described poultry farming as the ideal business for women,
because of its short gestation period and the potential to generate over
a million naira in a month.
According to her, chickens grow very fast, unlike goats and other livestock business that takes two to three years to mature.
“Poultry farming is a goldmine because layers start laying eggs
within 28 weeks, meaning you get turnover of investment in just seven
months and turnover from broilers in just four months.
“I started with 50 birds in an uncompleted building and now I have
1,500 birds in modern facilities, and I get at least 50 creates of eggs
daily,“ she said.
She said that with 50 crates daily, selling at N850 per crate, the
business had the potential of generating N42,000 per day and N1.3
million in a month.
“But due to demand fluctuations in the market, I currently make an
average sale of 17 crates per day, thereby making N15,000 daily and
N450,000 in a month. This is a good deal.”
She said that house wives, including working class women, could start
a poultry business to support their husbands and family to meet up with
increasing financial needs.
She, however, said that poultry farming required effective management skills for better yield and returns on investment.
She called on the government and private organisations to assist
women with technical and financial support to set up poultry businesses
with promise of huge returns on investment.
