Wow! Chinwe, I must say you are a very inquisitive person, which is quite commendable! Starting a poultry business entails a lot of things being put into place as there are risks which if not managed well can derail the business. In starting a poultry business, some of the basic equipment that must be put in place include the drinkers, the feeders and the housing type. For every type of poultry house built, one thing is required GOOD VENTILATION! This cannot be overemphasized as a lot of poultry diseases and mortality stem from the inadequate supply of this basic requirement.

There is the battery system of housing for the poultry. This is usually the most organized as the birds take up less space and is most used in large scale commercial poultry farming. If you are interested in this system, then you will have to incur significant expenses to purchase the cages. This is after having provided a large building where these will be kept. For the deep litter system, the cost implications are quite low as the birds are housed or let to roam freely within the building.

To start a poultry farm, consider buying these equipment (some of these are specific to the type of poultry farm to be established);

Drinkers (depending on the number of birds)

Feeders (also depending on the number of birds)

An incubator (for hatcheries)

Feed

Shavings of wood (commonly called saw dust) preferably the shavings and not the saw dust, as this could lead to the birds developing respiratory diseases.

Crates and

Drugs (vaccines and vitamins).

Depending on number of birds being kept, the costs incurred could range from N 100,000 to over N10,000,000.

Starting a bakery business in Nigeria requires meticulous planning and the adoption of the right strategies. This is because there are many bakeries across the country. Properly understanding the market forces of supply and demand, coupled with the weaknesses as well as the strength of your competition can significantly contribute to the success of the business. A bakery business requires staff who must be paid. There is also the purchase of the right equipment such as an oven (either locally fabricated ones or brand new ones), bread pans, mixers and a lot of other equipment.

The cost of rent, or building a bakery house from scratch contributes significantly. Thus, going through a careful start-up cost analysis (feasibility studies) is essential. Starting a bakery requires a cost ranging from N700,000 to N5,000,000. The variation in the start-up cost depends on the location, cost of equipment, the standard of the bakery, as well as the rent or construction of a new bakery building.

Setting up a sports betting and lottery business in Nigeria requires first approaching the National Lottery Regulatory Commission where the particular area of interest is fully stated.

However, the form costs is not currently disclosed, as this would only be available during the application process.

Your question is a good one. If you have done your market survey well, you will find out that the variation in the price of equipment is not so wide. Also, you will need to choose the type of equipment to purchase, that is, either brand new or fairly used. These contribute significantly to the start-up cost. It is strongly advised that new equipment should be bought. A significant part of the start-up costs come from the location of the barbing salon. Typically, barbing salons located in bustling cities tend to have higher start-up costs due to the money spent on renting of a shop for the business.

The reverse is the case for a barbing salon located in a low income neighborhood as the rent is quite low. Apart from these, the standard of the barbing salon also contributes to the cost. For a fully equipped barbing salon having every facility and located in a highbrow area or the Central Business District (CBD) or similar locations, the start-up costs can go as high as N11,000,000 plus. The cost of starting  a barbing salon heavily relies on factors that include the location, the standard of the salon, and the level of equipping the business.

Some of the equipment needed include;

Multiple Clippers (depending on the size of the business) worth  10k to 15k per piece

Large Mirrors 2 to 4 at N5,000

Furniture ( including chairs, settee, cabinets among others) costing an average of N500,000 (depending on the quality.

There is no straight answer to your question as you will have to consider other factors which include the type of hair salon to start. The location of the hair salon also contributes significantly to the start-up costs. In highbrow neighborhoods, apart from the equipment cost, rent alone takes up a substantial part of the start-up costs. So it will do well to know your level of financial preparedness before venturing into this business.

A well-equipped hairdressing salon in a highbrow neighborhood or a Central Business District (CBD) can incur a significantly high start-up cost. This can go as high as over N30,000,000 naira! How well a hairdressing salon should be equipped determines the cost of starting. In low income neighborhoods, and depending on the equipment to be purchased, the start-up costs of hairdressing salon in Nigeria could vary from N500,000 to N5,000,000.

4 years is quite a long time. Nigeria’s economy has since witnessed alot of upheavals, especially the devaluation of the Naira, which has understandably increased the price of imported goods. From the price quote mentioned by you, you seem to be interested in a second hand Toyota Hiace bus. Today, getting a clean Toyota Hiace hummer bus requires quite a substantial amount, as the price currently hovers within the range of N8,000,000 to N10,000,000.

You did not specify the engine type you want, as a Hiace bus can either come with a diesel engine or a petrol engine. Cars with diesel engines cost more than those with petrol engines. The cost given above is for a petrol engine Hiace bus. In Nigeria, petrol engines are preferred over diesel engines. For a brand new Toyota Hiace bus, the cost ranges from N15,000,000 to N20,000,000 depending on the model and the dealer. These are the current price list for Toyota Hiace buses. Comparing the prices with what you had been told earlier, you can notice a huge price difference. The current exchange rate regime can be blamed for this increase. I hope i answered your question satisfactorily.

Feel free to ask further questions on areas you don’t understand.

As a cassava farmer, weeding can be quite challenging. However, the number of times you need to weed before your crops are right for harvest is normally 2 times, and 3 in some cases where the land supports the growth of weeds. You can significantly reduce this though by the use of herbicides which significantly inhibit the growth of these weeds.

For your second question on the tonnage of cassava to be realized from 1 acre, you can realize up to 20.2 tons of cassava from 1 acre. A hectare producing 50 tonnes.
