Please farm expert in the house I need your help, I’m planning to buy a land for piggery, poultry, fisheries and greenhouse farming in a semi urban area of ogun state instead of going for the cheaper rural area land due to the proximity and road network. I’m planing to buy 5 acres but now I’m thinking of buying the land in different parts of the semi urban areas like buying one acre each for different livestock, I don’t know if it make sense that way? Just incase if one livestock farm is not doing well, it will be easy to sell the business without affecting others. I will be starting with poultry farm and then the manure will be used for the green house. I will need your inputs maybe to situate the farm on the same land or separately like I wanted to do it. Thanks in advance

Here to learn

If you can ensure that your operations don't disturb your neighbors, then getting land in a semi urban environment is not a bad idea: the cost you save on transportation will make up for the additional cost of the land in the long run.
However scattering your farm doesn't really sound okay : you will be duplicating so many things unnecessarily. Things like your borehole, security, farm management etc. Also, going from place to place will probably stressful (and expensive in this post subsidy era) unless they are not too far from each other.

My take away:
.
Duplication of some essentials
🍁 Borehole drilling x 5
🍁 Security measures x 5
🍁 Electrification *5

To avoid duplication of operational expenses such as electricity, water, security, management etc, it is professionally advisable you site your fas within close proximity. In the event that you intend rearing both layer and broiler please ensure you create a buffer zone between the two to avoid cross contamination. Also, endeavor to take cognisance of the labour/land cost within the locality. For more professional guide please contact ALINCOLN NWACHUKWU AGRO BUSINESS & FEED MILL CONSULT.

Since it is a a farm mostly consisting of livestock, it is better to locate it a bit far from densely populated areas. Also what's the size of the greenhouse farm? if its relatively not big you can fit all operations into one farm land. Also we can help you with greenhouse farm set up solutions.
