Follow-up december 2014

Date: December 5th 2014
 
Name project: Project 47: Gahogo – Piggery farm

General status:

The project is running fine and the 3 pigs (sows) are almost sexually mature.

Progress since last status report:

In August 3 of the 4 pigs died of a disease and the 4th one was sold. Afterwards 3 new pigs were purchased which make the project onerous so far.
As the current pigs are strong and healthy we believe in a positive yield in the future, as the pigs which give a good profit when selling them.

Financial status:

The funds were fully consumed by constructing the stables and the purchase of the first pigs.

Because of the disease and the purchase of new pigs the project is onerous till now.

Problems/concerns:

The yield of the project would be clearly higher by purchasing a male pig and the sale and spread of the piglets afterwards. Seen the risk on diseases it is decided not to bring in a male pig temporarily from another farm.

The beneficiaries will make a proposal to extend the project by purchasing a male pig and to build 2 extra stables (1 for the male and 1 for the piglets).
