Summary of the Report
Nonye Fish Concept was created in response to Nigeria’s under-utilized water resources and the unprecedented increase in demand for seafood owing to its health and flavor benefits.
Through professional growing and marketing of Catfish for neighborhood consumption, Nonye Fish Cultivate aspires to capitalize on the lucrative advantage of sparkling fish food that is simple to farm in our surroundings.
In Nigeria, there is little competition, but there is a lot of demand. This is why I’m focusing all of our attention on it. I’ve spoken to a few successful company owners and considered what steps may be made to elevate this commercial operation to the next level.
This commercial venture is estimated to cost about two hundred thousand naira,s to begin with, but is expected to generate around four hundred thousand nairas in three months, and thus a million naira in nine months. I’ve been able to get a piece of land for the firm, as well as a market base and clearance from regulatory organizations. We’ve built a professional brand for Nonye Fish Farm and are ready to take it to new heights.
I want to use my expertise in fish farming to achieve my objectives and earn gold-like profits since the business promises a 700 percent return on investment in a year.
Almost every family eats fish, which is a well-known fact. In Markurdi, there are over 200 thousand people waiting to get their hands on my goods for food consumption and processing. And as we expand, I want to market my product to additional states around the nation. This puts a burden on my farm, as I try to feed as many people as possible in Markurdi, which is made up of hotels, restaurants, and dorms, among other things.
