Manage episode 479109000 series 3547803
Adu Ababio, founder of Tanta Farms and known as "the gentle farmer," shares his journey from rabbit breeding to managing 35,000 birds, offering practical insights on turning poultry farming into a profitable venture in Ghana.
• Poultry farming offers 100% profit margin despite 90% risk factors with proper management
• A 5,000-layer operation can generate ₵90,000 monthly profit after accounting for all expenses
• Battery cage systems can house 10,000-20,000 birds per acre versus just 1,000 in deep litter systems
• Local day-old chicks (₵12-15) perform equally well compared to imported ones (₵27-30)
• Around 700 farms collapsed in Ghana during 2021-2022 due to high feed costs and disease outbreaks
• Keeping detailed records and involving workers in understanding business operations reduces theft
• Ghana currently produces only 5% of its poultry needs, importing over 500,000 metric tons annually
• Adu started with just one pregnant rabbit and built his business without external investment
• Consulting experts before starting reduces risk of capital loss and emotional trauma
• Adu's training center provides free training and starter flocks to aspiring young farmers
