POULTRY EGG BUSINESS AND MARKETING

Poultry  Egg Business /Marketing




A lot of people do not understand that there is huge business opportunity in connecting egg buyers and egg sellers. Marketing eggs comes with lots of investment benefits because egg is consumed on a daily basis. Many poultry farmers who produce eggs on their farms do not have the time to market in a bid to reach out to potential buyers because of the task of managing the farm. This burden is taken off by egg distributors who come into poultry farms to buy crates of eggs at reduced price and sell to market women (who retails to end consumers) at a profit. Many industries such as baking and confectionery make use of egg as an important part of their raw materials. Production of poultry eggs is a major source of income for farmers who are into layer birds production.
Gather Your Capital
Although some farms may give you certain amount of crates on credit after you have been tested over time, nevertheless you will need to have your capital with you when starting egg distribution business. You should decide on how much crates of egg you want to start supplying based on how much capital you have raised and how large your market is. Also note that in most farms, you would get better price when you buy more.
Source For Reliable Poultry Farms
Your source of getting table eggs that you supply must be reliable. You should look for farms that can give you the eggs at competitive prices. The price of medium eggs ranges from N700 – N750 per crate in major towns such as Lagos, Ibadan, Kano, Calabar, Portharcourt, Enugu and Abuja. Jumbo (Extra large or Double Yolk) goes for N800 – N850 per crate.
When choosing farms to stay buying eggs from, it is important to consider the selling price, quality of eggs in terms of size and colour, distance to market and means of transporting the eggs.
Look For Egg Buyers (Retailers)
