Adu Ababio, founder of Tanta Farms and known as "the gentle farmer," shares his journey from rabbit breeding to managing 35,000 birds, offering practical insights on turning poultry farming into a profitable venture in Ghana.

• Poultry farming offers 100% profit margin despite 90% risk factors with proper management
• A 5,000-layer operation can generate ₵90,000 monthly profit after accounting for all expenses
• Battery cage systems can house 10,000-20,000 birds per acre versus just 1,000 in deep litter systems
• Local day-old chicks (₵12-15) perform equally well compared to imported ones (₵27-30)
• Around 700 farms collapsed in Ghana during 2021-2022 due to high feed costs and disease outbreaks
• Keeping detailed records and involving workers in understanding business operations reduces theft
• Ghana currently produces only 5% of its poultry needs, importing over 500,000 metric tons annually
• Adu started with just one pregnant rabbit and built his business without external investment
• Consulting experts before starting reduces risk of capital loss and emotional trauma
• Adu's training center provides free training and starter flocks to aspiring young farmers
