Market and Cost Analysis

The second batch performed significantly better than the first in terms of revenue and pricing strategy. A clear improvement in sales price was noted, with 40 birds fetching USD 6 per unit — a 50% increase from the standard USD 4 price, indicating strong local demand and improved marketing or buyer engagement.

The mortality rate decreased to 12% (12 out of 100), which, although still a concern, shows potential for better health management practices compared to the first batch. With operational costs (feed and transport) kept relatively low at USD 90, the project was able to realize a net profit of USD 242. With economies of scale and improved market linkages, this project will be profitable with a potential of improving the income home grown school feeding programme. This shows that with improved disease prevention, continued focus on better pricing, and efficient resource management, the broiler project can become a sustainable income-generating activity.
