COMPANY SUMMARY /DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Ownership:
A Bethel farm is a new and independent sole proprietorship business.
It is to deal with piggery farming for the start but it will expand in the long run large scale and all intended to
start in one year time.

History:
Regarding at the research made foristance; with reference to the article in the New vision (Aug 4th 2011)
It has come to my notice that piggery is a profitable business and always on market all seasons, and so this
increases my interest in this kind of a business.

Location:
For the start, the business will be located in Seguku, 6 miles from Kampala off Entebbe Road; hence it is also
and added advantage being nearer to all urban markets

MARKET ANALYSIS

Background to the market:

The market comprises of both low and high income earners. The changing trends and development in
consumer behavior and buying habits, for instance many reduce the consumption of red meat due to health
reasons; this is the key to the growth rate of market. Therefore it is important to note that the market size is
quite large.

Competitive Comparison:
 The competitors are quite many in the area but most of them are on small scale. Therefore they are likely to
negatively respond to this business venture.
With regard to my research, I have noticed that many of my competitors lack managerial skills
hence end up over capitalizing the business.
 There are a number of weaknesses I have realized amongst my competitors therefore if a can work towards
them, I believe I can gain a competitive advantage over them.
 Given the fact that most of the competitors are on small scale, there is inconsistence in the service and product
provision, so I strongly believe that I can highly complete with them.
 Poor customer services, unreasonably high prices and weak promotional strategies plus many more weakness
amongst my competitions.

STRATEGY

Product and pricing strategy

I intend to sell out the piglets to other farmers and grown ones to the different pork joints.
Relatively to my customers, I also intend to charge slightly lower prices and discounts so as to attract
customers therefore; price reducing will be used to establish prices.

I intend to use direct supply of distribution of the product to the customers and so I will not need
intermediaries.
The promotional strategy as a way of approach to informing the customers about the products, advertising
massages will be used procures, business cards and networking which will include:-
Creating a better relationship with my competition.
In a long run sales promotion and media will be used for advertisement.
