Reliable
sources are revealing that the quail farming bubble has burst, farmers are now
approaching KWS as they seek market for the eggs and birds following an over supply
as more and more farmers start rearing the birds without having done any market
surveys.
The
price of the eggs and birds are daily falling at an increasing rate leadingto
loss due to oversupply.
Late
last year a quail egg sold between Ksh 100 and Ksh 70 while a chick sold between Ksh 300 to Ksh 400.lately an egg is selling between Ksh 30
and Ksh 20 while a chick goes for Ksh 150.
The law
of demand and supply applies.
Farmers
are advised to think twice before venturing into the business as the bubble
burst looms.
