At the feed shop this morning 😊

Episode 13: sorting out some of our fish from the 5,000 post fingerlings. The fish are grown and ready to pick 4mm

Catfish farming is a game of volume.
If you don’t scale up your profit may look a joke to you

The catfish market has changed and every serious farmer can feel it.
Previously, selling big fish was straightforward. Today, demand has shifted significantly. Due to the current economic reality, many consumers now prefer smaller sizes like 700g to 800g as they are more affordable.

However, production isn’t like that no matter what you can not make your fish to remain in just one particular size . As farmers, we can’t focus on a single size range. market women still expect a mix like a higher volume of smaller fish, with some 1kg and above, cus sometimes you tell them you have 700-800 and they will say they still need few 1kg and above too they won’t still come cus they prefer to buy in one place cus of transportation too
Truth fish farming goes beyond feeding and harvesting. It requires planning, market awareness, and strategic decision making.

At the moment, I’ve had about 2 tons of fish ready for sale for over two weeks, yet less than 1 ton has been sold despite price adjustments. Under normal conditions, this volume would have been sold within a week.

The market is slower, and the realities are clear times are tougher e don Dey affect fish small small 😂

What to do, we go adapt na so nija thing be
