Loan Proposal
Hey
I am intending hence I already have the fodder crop house which grows barley, oats and any other legume that can be fed to my pigs within 6 days. I would like to purchase Barley which is costing me ksh. 3,000 per bag of 50kg which will give me 50 trays of fodder. Each try of fodder I feed 3 pigs Per day , that translate to I bag of Barley will feed my 20 pigs for 16 days .
If am able to secure my self kshs. 18,000/= that will take me to 55 to 50 days. and I will have saved on production cost hence while I purchase the animal feed I spend like kshs. 5,000 per week for the 20 pigs.
I am anticipating that the production of my pig will cost me kshs. 8,000 per pig upto to the maturity and the sale of the pig will be between kshs,. 14,000 to 15,000 to farmers choice. so the profit will be 40% to 50% profit.
