A Nigerian livestock farmer recently recounted the inspiring tale of his piggery farm, highlighting its extraordinary evolution from a modest N270k investment in 2016 to a remarkable monthly revenue of N30 million.
This revelation unfolded in an exclusive video interview conducted by the renowned roving storyteller, Lucky Udu.
Dr. Bakaida provided profound insights into the trajectory of his pig farming enterprise, underscoring the astonishing expansion it has undergone since its inception.
Starting with merely nine pigs, the farmer revealed that his farm has burgeoned to accommodate over 1000 pigs, boasting an estimated value surpassing N100 million.
“In 2016, I ventured into pig farming with about nine pigs which I bought around N270,000. At that time, I didn’t have a structure to keep the pigs, so I kept them in an uncompleted building. That was how I continued to nurture them until they became what they are today. I have over 1000 pigs in my farm worth over N100 million,” Dr Bakaida said.
Expanding on the economic viability of pig farming, the entrepreneur emphasized that the business has the potential to generate up to N500 million annually.
“Pork meat is useful for many things. In addition to its popularity as a standalone meat product, it can be used in the production of confectioneries such as gala, some biscuits, and other snacks,” he added.
