*

INVESTMENT PROFILE FOR 2,500 SNAILS CAPACITY USING 50 SNAIL BREEDERS(POINT OF LAY) USING TRENCH METHOD

COST OF STRUCTURE (SNAIL PEN)
= #100,000

COST OF 50 SNAIL BREEDERS @#400 PER SNAIL = #20,000

COST OF FEEDING 50 SNAIL BREEDERS FOR 6 MONTHS USING FORMULATED FEED = #2,000

The snail breeders will lay eggs continually for a year. It is expected that each breeder will produce 80 eggs. Therefore, 50 breeders will give 4,000 eggs in a year.
Mortality rate of eggs @20% is expected.
Mortality rate of hatchlings after hatching 10%.
Mortality of snails growers @ 10%

COST OF FEEDING 2,500 SNAILS FROM BABY SNAIL TO ADULT SNAIL = #3,000

COST OF FARM LABOUR FOR A YEAR (Shared with ten other trenches)
= #24,000

TOTAL = #127,500




ESTIMATED RETURN ON INVESTMENT:
SALES OF ADULT SNAILS-EXPENDITURE

The snails produced from the farm would be sold @ least for #200 per unit; it could be more.
2,500 × #200 = 500,000

Expenditures and Farm assets=#127,500.

PROFIT=#500,000 - #127,000= #372,500.

COST OF 5,000 SNAIL BREEDERS @#400 PER ONE = #2,000,000

COST OF FEEDING 5,000 SNAIL BREEDERS FOR 6 MONTHS USING FORMULATED FEED = #200,000

The snail breeders will lay eggs continually for a year. It is expected that each breeder will produce 80 eggs. Therefore, 5,000 breeders will give 400,000 eggs in a year.
Mortality rate of eggs @20% is expected.
Mortality rate of hatchlings after hatching 10%.
Mortality of snails growers @ 10%
