Am Samuel Ngigi. Currently living in Nairobi Am a banker by profession and and currently doing pig farming here in Kenya
I do pig farming .The business is small scale, with a current herd of 50pigs. The major challenge is feeds, which are a bit costly. Another challenge being the market price,with a kg retailing for KES 460 whereas farmers sell at Kes/280 per Kg
I am a pig farmer in Ruiru, Kiambu
I also run a pork centre. I buy piglets and fatten them then sell some to other pork centre and also supply to my pork butchery as well. I wish to buy more piglets to fatten at the same time buy mature pigs for slaughter.
Despite covid 19 pandemic,many people continue to eat pork hence the sustained demand. I also sell mature pigs to other farmers and to other butcheries. I have also decided to offer takeaway pork to my neighbours whenever I slaughter pigs and these has attracted another chain of customers
