*IS PIG FARMING IN KENYA PROFITABLE?*

The demand for pork in towns like Nairobi, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Kiambu, Kakamega, and Kisumu is quite high.

Pig farming business in Kenya is a goldmine, and if you are planning to start, then this is the right time for you.

There are few pig industries across the country, and you will notice that the pig products are quite expensive.

If you happen to venture into this lucrative business, then you are likely to earn huge profits in the long run.

There is a high demand for pig products both in the local and international markets. As such, your pig rearing business is likely to give better returns as the marketable weight of the pig can be attained in the duration of six to eight months.

There are several profits from pig farming in Kenya, and I will use the following examples to assist you in forecasting its profitability as a small scale pig farmer.

Generally, it will take you roughly around 10 to 12 months to realize profits from pig farming business in Kenya, and this also relies on the total number of pigs you decide to keep.

Let us assume that you bought two pregnant sows at Ksh.35,000 each.

A two-months-old piglet generally weighs around twelve kilograms since the average weight gain is 0.607 kg daily.

Moreover, a sow can give birth to approximately 20 piglets each year.

How can I make a profit?

Well, you can opt to sell the piglets between Ksh.3,500 to Sh.5,000 each depending on size and breed or decide to keep them for the next six or eight months so that they can be sold or bred.

When fed right, pigs can weigh approximately 90 to 120 kilos. When you take them to a slaughterhouse, a 60kg to 70kg pig will sell at Ksh.13,000 to Ksh.16,000.

Let’s assume you slaughter all the first bred 20 swines each weighing 70kg in seven months’ time; then you can make Ksh.16,000 X 20 = Ksh.320,000 – Ksh.120,000 (feeding costs) = Ksh.200,000 profit in 7 months.

Even if the feeding costs increase let’s say to Ksh.150,000 or Ksh.180,000 for the 7 months of keeping the 20 pigs from piglet age, you will still make good cash.

That’s is profit made when starting with 2 pregnant pigs. The more the pigs you have the more the profit you make and the lower the feeding and operations costs.

In case you in an area where pig farming has not yet peaked, you can be the source of breeding stock for other entrepreneurs. Using a quality boar and assuming that out of the 20 pigs born around 15 are female, you could breed them and sell them as pregnant sows which cost Ksh.35,000 Kenyan shillings each.

That will earn you Ksh.525,000 – Ksh.160,000 (feeding cost) = Ksh.365,000 profit in 7 to 8 months.

Amazing, right?

Pig farming business is a very profitable business, and many people are making money all over the world by starting a piggery business. However, to build a successful, sustainable pig farming business, you require sufficient knowledge of how to efficiently raise the pigs, good management skills, and a good piggery business skills.
