WRITING POULTRY BUSINESS PLANS

Planning for your business from the outset is a key ingredient of success and the same applies to the chicken farming business.

An aspiring poultry entrepreneur must also understand the untapped opportunities in the poultry value chain and through market analysis especially as regards to chicken and chicken products. The health benefits of white meat over red meat and the huge demand for eggs in various sectors of the food industry need to be understood and addressed.

Most of the farmers apply no specific techniques to boost production. Constraints to rearing chicken are mostly disease, predators, poor housing, poor management and lack of affordable feed and poor marketing systems.

Ownership and breadth of service can give an entrepreneur an edge over the competition for services.

Business Development Service providers offer a range of extension services, and include organizations such as Government of Kenya extension officers and veterinarians, egg and chick suppliers and local independent animal health technicians. A farmer or entrepreneur must therefore be aware of his competition and also work with others to better his or her business.

A farmer needs to understand the sales outlets for her products e.g. supermarkets and identified select contractual buyers who will offer better prices due to unique quality of the products and consistent supply and maintain constant awareness of the competition’s products and services, in order to remain an appealing source of services.

The key thing is the farmers themselves owning their business, and having a vested interest in building the business’s future success.

A key ingredient of a farmer’s decision making is developing an market-driven pricing policy that incorporates clear recognition of market related forces including production seasonality, price fluctuations and profit generation.  It is important to continuously assess market dynamics that will inform sound business decision-making.

For marketing efficiency and cost effectiveness, it is important to sell to identified contracted buyers, using your best efforts to attract the most competitive buyer that offers best price and creates the most value for shareholders and members. You have to build an image of reliability and quality among your target market.

The rest is identified the initial financing you need and your own shrewd management that will take your enterprise to the next level. The Key to doing this is helping you prepare a financial model for your business that enables you track business performance over months and years of operation.
