I leave in Nigeria and i am still a local farmer.. So far i grow vegetables.. I also grow corn but the season for corn is gone just little ones
remaining in the farm. They will get dry and be processed into powdery form. It is also another type of food here.. We take the maize and the water leaf to a local market and sell... So mostly people within my community buy them..i also run a pig farm on a larger scale.. Fell free to visit my wall
Figuring out what you make the most on is important. If you can sell vegetables directly to people you know, that may be a good profit margin. My guess is that the pigs are not as profitable as you'd like them to be.
Figure how how much feed cost it takes to finish a pig. Subtract that from what you can sell it for. Then divide the "profit" by the estimated hours you put it. My guess is the pigs may be giving you a poor amount for the number of hours you put in.
What food do you grow? Who currently buys your products?

Cost of feeding is high

I have the figures already. A little more capital is all i need
I feel the same way about my small business
