Mr Fred when it comes to Ghanaian businesses, not opening-up I sometimes equally wonder why our society is what it is. I watched this video where this woman had 35,000 birds yet when she was asked whether poultry farming is profitable, what she said was " Nyame adom kakra kakkra". I mean what is Nyame adom kakkra kakkra? Yet in this video, she showed the viewers a 5 story building she's constructing for a hotel. I have always gone to Uganda and Kenya to watch this kind of detailed analysis of business " success rate" because they are open and frank about their business as you are doing. We love ❤️ you and please keep giving us more.

Hi Fred, thanks for you're #transparency and to share my opinion on why many livestock farmers don't wanna open up on about their profit margin is simply because they are afraid of competition and also want to be the only ones who succeed. This is a part of the many challenges we face in our part of the world people hoard information to themselves and tend to deflects people curiosity with holy ghost 👻 mantra like "is by the grace of God". I'm very grateful that we have people like u who communicate to Africans and the larger word with undiluted truth and transparency. Looking forward to starting my own farm. Thanks.

Thanks for your input Samuel, and you are right. What type of farm do you plan on starting?

Hi Fred, that is an African problem. We are scared of competition and Africans have a mentality that he only wants to succeed in the community. That is why the people voted into power only think of themselves and family members. Thanks a lot for your excellent informative presentation of farming in Ghana.

Bro we can link up I also want to start a poultry farm +233555299019

the only information they share is how your birds can die. i'm grateful i found your channel.

Thanks bro. I had 500 backyard poultry sometime ago. I had to stop because then I couldn't get enough time off my main job. The man I engaged to look after the birds had started to sell the eggs for over two weeks without my knowledge. In fact I've great interest in poultry and would want to reenter in the coming years.

You are from a different generation. I too am going into poultry farming in Ghana and believe in sharing information. Perhaps we should start an association to share knowledge with each other, and others. You should look into duckweed as a source of protein feed for your chicks, it's easy to grow. Black Soldier flies are also a good supply of protein.

Hi Fred, thank you for sharing this amazing information and unselfish information.You are a patriotic Ghanaian who have mother Ghana and its citizens at heart. Blessings!

Thank dear, the is very simple, we're very greedy, envy,jealous and enemy of progress. Only few people are like you. Please continue your good work never give up.God bless you.

I do also think most farms or farmers don’t have better records in terms of finance and their farm activity like you are doing. Thanks for hard work.

Thanks Fred for daring to be different and sharing important information, vital to success in farming business. There're so many reasons why Africa is still behind other continents in development. Hoarding information and refusing to mentor the younger generation are some of them. But with forward thinking and selfless young Africans like yourself, who are committed to the growth and development of the continent, there's real hope for a much greater future for all Africans. God bless you abundantly. Keep up the good work.

Good job my brother for being so open and also sharing your experiences with us. For the question you've just asked, all that I can say is simple greediness and selfishness. People think if you are given the information, you will start yours and and become bigger than theirs. SIMPLE!!

I think openness is a function of character, exposure, and level of education. Most people in the industry see others as competitor not as partner in progress. But I think if government can take the problem of secured marketing of farmers, they may become more acommodating of others.

Thanks for sharing. I am learning a lot. I really don’t have a clue as to why poultry farmers are not sharing their experiences to support young investors. maybe they are not aware we consume more than we can make and Ghana is forced to import. maybe they want to guard against intellectual property. would they rather offer training for a fee? I am just guessing here. I do watch your videos and I am glad you have decided to share your experience.

Competition. Farmers are always worry about success and failure. Not only their own but, also that of the near by farmers as well. It can be a big problem to have many problems and then the time you are really successful everyone else is being successful as well. That can create temporary issues of over production causing prices to fall and the actual profit from farming is lowest when you have your best production.

Nice work and inspiring videos, I’m a Nigerian and I’m currently on farming project and will appreciate if You can guide me in this journey.

It's because many do not do any bookkeeping or accounting so they can't give you specifics. Many small business owners in Ghana do not keep record of their cost and expenses that's why they can't typically tell you Prices are changing all the time. Petrol price can change tomorrow and every price will change. The losses and gains change all the time. Plus there is the fear that you will know more, do it better, and be more successful than them. Also when your animals die, it can be a painful experience and some people will want to avoid any topic that will lead to the bad memories.

great stuff bro. Kindly convert the cedis to dollar for us to relate well.

Watch his previous video

awesome video....watch it few times :) what is your feed conversion rate (FCR) for the birds? That is for every gram of feed the bird eat, how many gram it gains in weight? Do you mix your own feed with those ingredients base on the age of the bird? what is your cost per bird, selling price per bird, gross profit margin per bird, and net profit per bird? Though, you're farming for eggs? at what week do you expect the bird to start laying eggs, how many eggs per bird for the life of the bird? your feed and medication were: 1st month = $1238 for 2000 birds = $0.62 per bird 2nd month = $1416 for 2000 birds = $0.71 per bird 3rd month = $1828 for 2000 birds = $0.92 per bird 3 months (12 weeks) = $4493 for 2000 birds = $2.25 per bird looks like will cost you about $1.00 USD per bird per month for feed and medication, what is your operating expense per bird per month? operating expenses would include labor/staff, transportation, power/electricity, water, and so on. thank you very much for sharing :)

Hi Fred, just watch this video. Please can you send me a particular link that has to do with pen construction from foundation level to roof level. Secondly, how possible is it for me here in Nigeria to visit your farm in Ghana for live experience in poultry business

Amazing what you are doing. You have inspired me to do similar business with you. I have to subscribe

I am beginner and have not even completed my structure but have been curious in how much a 14-week layer may cost because I don't have the capacity yet to start with the day old layer birds. Any help?

Your cost of feeding is very high. Adding the cost of milling bagging and transporting. Gapfa makes very good feed that should have you sorted for about 5000 cedis a month with transportation inclusive. Don’t know that helped

Europe exports chicken to Ghana for cheap because European farmers get plenty of grants and subsidies from the government so their products end up being cheaper. So when they are selling chicken to Ghana for cheap, that's because their production cost is covered by the grants they get. Ghana farmers, however, do not get same benefits from their government so all their expenses are added to the sale price of the chicken. For this reason, when you go to buy chicken, the imported one is cheaper! One more thing: based on the environment, Ghana may be spending more money on medicine for the imported day old chicks because they are not native to Ghana. Therefore they catch more diseases than if the chicks are in their native countries in Europe. Somebody from Kenya who imports the same day old chicks from Europe will have to deal with different diseases that are common in Kenya, etc

I enjoy watching your video. Because of your video I am interested in to do a poultry farm in Ghana. Please which part of Ghana are you located? I myself I live in Kansas city Missouri USA.

Why people don't want to share information in Ghana when it comes to doing business. It is to do with our basic education systems . ie Someone has first, second, third..... we are not thought how to share information. So when it come to sharing information we don't know how to do it because we are thought in school to become first, second, third, and so on.
