This also applies to pig farming within the same 1.5 acres of land.
i came to realize there are alot of scams when it comes to agri biz case in point a company called rabbit republic they used to sell their rabbits at 6k each minimum you could buy was 5 pieces, they would then build their sheds at a cost of 30k as per their “standards” then you breed the rabbits yourself, feed them as per their “guidelines” at the end of the six months they will buy them at a cost of 400 per kg that means for you to recoup your initial capital on each rabbit, one has to be 15kgs to get the 6000 on each ata mbuzi haifiki hizo kilo, they claim they can grow to 5-6 kgs by 6 months but i highly doubt
Same applies to pig farming, thats why its always good to consult experienced farmers on the same fields to learn 123… This companies can really exploit your sweat
It also applies to some vegetable contract farmers
