Pig finishing in Kenya
Finish pigs for an identified buyer and suitable premises.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional pig-finishing cash ledger for six purchased pigs over 120 days, with a sample accepted sale of 480 live kilograms in total. That weight is an accounting assumption, not a growth target or carcass weight. Obtain the intended processor's current purchase order, identity, inspection and documentation requirements before sourcing animals. A Farmers Choice procurement page is a buyer-specific reference to ask about, not proof that this batch qualifies or that a particular price will be paid.
Who is the first customer?
Livestock traders or processors with clear specifications.
