Feed Prices in Ghana
Ready Farm Feed quotes rather than publishes a price list, because your delivered figure depends on the ration, your volume and where it is going. Here is how to work out what you will actually need, and how to compare a finished bag properly.
How much feed will I need?
Start here. Most farmers overspend not because the bag price is high but because they buy the wrong quantity at the wrong time.
| Enterprise | Feed needed | Bags per month |
|---|---|---|
| 500 broilers per cycle | ~4 kg per bird to market | ~40 bags per cycle |
| 300 layers in production | 115 g per bird per day | ~21 bags |
| 30 goats, supplemented | 9.4 kg per day | 6 bags (9-10 in dry season) |
| 50 pigs, grower-finisher | 2.2 kg per head per day | ~66 bags |
| 1 tonne tilapia at FCR 1.6 | 1.6 t of feed per t of fish | ~32 bags per tonne |
Compare on cost per kg of gain, not per bag
This is the number that decides whether feed made you money. A cheaper bag that converts poorly costs more per kilo of meat, egg or milk than a dearer bag that converts well — and you only find out at the end of the cycle, when the money is already spent.
| What you compare | What it actually tells you |
|---|---|
| Price per 50kg bag | Almost nothing on its own |
| Feed conversion ratio | How much feed it takes to add a kilo of weight |
| Days to market weight | Every extra day is another day of feed, labour and risk |
| Consistency between bags | Whether your results are repeatable or luck |
| Cost per kg of gain | The only figure that reaches your bank account |
How our pricing works
- Tiered by volume — the more you take, the better the rate
- Delivery included — you get one landed price per bag, no surprises at the gate
- Standing monthly orders get our best rate — committed volume lets us plan production, and we pass that back
- Quoted the same day — send your feed type, bag count and town on WhatsApp
Why do you not publish a price list?
Because a farmer in Kumasi taking 40 bags a month and a farmer in Tamale taking 5 should not pay the same, and publishing one figure would be misleading for both. Send us your volume and location and you get a real, delivered figure the same day.
Is there a discount for standing monthly orders?
Yes. A committed monthly volume lets us plan production and buy better, and we pass that back. It is the cheapest way to buy from us.
Do you offer credit terms?
For established customers with an order history, yes. First orders are payment on confirmation by bank transfer or mobile money.
Why is ready-to-serve feed worth more than buying ingredients?
Because the ration your animals actually eat is the one that decides your result, and every mixing step is a chance for it to drift from the ration on the label. You are paying for a balanced, tested, repeatable bag - and for the hours you get back.
