Newsletter a Division of Makakwute Innovative Limited Volume 1, Issue 1 September 2017

Lã-Mida Lehae Farms

I am delighted to introduce Lã-Mida News-letter the first newsletter for Lehae Farms

a Division of Makakwute Innovative Limited. Lã-Mida provides a really exciting oppor-

tunity to consider the truly interdisciplinary nature of agriculture at a time of great

change across the country, with huge em-

phasis from government on agriculture.

The objective of Lã-Mida is to publish up-to-

date, high-quality and original research newsletter alongside relevant and insightful

reviews.

As such, the newsletter aspires to be vi-brant, engaging and accessible, and at the

same time integrative and challenging.

Each issue of the newsletter will contain contemporary and provocative “opinion

piece” on an issue or synthesis of issues pertinent to the marketing and management

of farms in general.

It will also provide a critical and concise yet comprehensive and contemporary review of

a particular theme specific to the marketing

and management of agricultural business.

It will be more traditional in form and will

demonstrate a sound theoretical and/or methodological underpinning and a clear

contribution to knowledge in the field.

I am honored to be entrusted with a news-letter that is established to provide insight

and meaningful news to our customers and employees. Lã-Mida is a publication that just

report on developments, marketing and management of agriculture, it will provide

opportunity for employees to voice their

opinion and comment.

We embrace the idea that business serves a

purpose in our world that goes beyond Naira and Kobo, and that a responsible and

sustainable enterprise can be a vehicle for

progress.

We believe these higher goals don’t contra-

dict the quest for profitability. On the con-trary, we’re convinced businesses that

reflect and embody them will be tomorrow’s

leaders.

We are passionately interested in the nitty-

gritty of what makes agri-businesses really work and celebrate the creative people in

all types of agro-allied business, at all lev-

els, who inspire innovation.

Thank you all my colleagues and all that

contributed to the success of this first edition. More importantly I want to sincerely

say thank you, to the brain behind this publi-cation, who supported it and ensured this

vision is actualized no other person than

the MD/CEO of Makakwute Innovative Ltd.

The First Stakeholder’s Meeting

It was delightful to meet all the stake-

holders that converged at Lehae

Farms on July 1st 2017 for the first

meeting of stakeholders, and the fol-

lowing are their comments.

Rep. for Mosan Community has this to

say:

Delighted for the opportunity to par-

ticipate as a stakeholder to represent the company. Product is good and has

desirable results which has been tes-

tified by customers.

Mr. Akin - steps taken by the company

Mr. Yomi- information dispensed by

the presenter during the first stake-

holder’s meeting was very informa-

tive and is a bold step taken by the

company.

Mr. Babajide- the core competence of

the company is organic feed. Notwith-standing, the company can make oth-

er products available to enable cus-

tomers make their choices

What is Soya Beans

Soybeans, which are also known as soya beans, are a species of legume that have become one of the most widely consumed

foods in the world. They are extremely use-ful for human health, and they are easy to

cultivate as well. They are produced in greatest numbers in the United States and

South America, but they are actually native

to East Asia.

Their scientific name is Glycine max, and

they are classified as an oil seed, rather

than a pulse, like most legumes. Soybeans

have become so wildly important and popu-

lar in recent decades because of the rise of

soy food’s popularity, including soy milk and

textured vegetable protein.

The high levels of protein make it an ideal protein source for vegetarians, and the wide variety of soy products has created a

massive new market.

One of the reasons it is so widely cultivated

is because it contains more protein per

acre of land than any other crop. They grow

up to 2 meters in height and is a green, low

-lying plant. The soy protein are so univer-

sally useful that this small, unassuming

bean has become globally significant.

Furthermore, soybeans are packed with

other essential nutrients, making it ex-

tremely important for people on diets, those who need to improve their general

health, and vegetarians and vegans

throughout the world.

We can talk about the importance of soy-

beans all day, but why are they so im-

portant? What exactly is contained in these wonderful beans? Let’s take a closer look

at the nutritional facts of soybeans.

Vol 1 Issue 1 Page 2

Soybeans has a wealth of health bene-

fits, including the ability to improve the metabolism, help people gain weight in

a healthy way, protect heart-health,

defend against cancer, reduce the effects of menopause, improve diges-

tive health, promotes bone health,

protect against birth defects, increase

circulation, decrease the risk of diabe-

tes, and generally tones up the body.

Soybeans Nutritional Facts

The many health benefits of soybeans

comes from the wealth of nutrients, vita-mins, organic compounds, and other

nutrients, including a significant amount of dietary fiber and a very large amount

of protein. In terms of vitamins, soybeans contains vitamin K, riboflavin, folate, vita-

min B6, thiamin, and vitamin C. As for

minerals, soybeans contain significant

amounts of iron, manganese, phospho-

rous, copper, potassium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and calcium. It is also a

good source of organic compounds and

antioxidants, further boosting the healthy

impact of soybeans.

Health Benefits of Soybeans

The many health benefits of soybeans

include the following:

Improve Metabolic Activity

As mentioned above, soybeans are an

extremely important source of protein. When you have enough proteins in your

body, then your metabolic functioning and overall system will get a major

boost. Proteins are the building blocks of cells and blood vessels and basically

every essential part of the human body.

Proteins from soybeans ensure the prop-

er health and regrowth of cells if they

need to be repaired or replaced. It can be difficult to get enough protein when

you follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle,

so soybeans provide an excellent re-

placement for the proteins normally ac-

quired in red meat, chicken, eggs, dairy

products, and fish.

More on this subject will be continued

in next issue of the Lã-Mida

What is Soya Beans Continues

Vol 1 Issue 1 Page 3

Fish farming in Nigeria is a very lucrative business and it is mainly boosted by the

continuous rise in the demand for cat-fish. This trend, therefore, makes catfish

business the most popular form of fish

farming in Nigeria.

Whether you are just starting aquacul-

ture with the hope of making just an ex-

tra income or going into full scale com-

mercial production, you have to know

basics of catfish farming business.

Luck will not help you in fish farming

business, otherwise you will lose all your

hard earned money and savings, you

must understand the integrities of the

business such as the target market, the

production target, stocking density, wa-

ter condition, pond types and system,

with good production plan.

First you have to know the following:

Common Species

Hatchery

Feed Type

Feeding Method

Common Species

The most common species found in

Nigeria are; Clarias gariepinus, Hetero-

branchus bidorsalis, Clarias Hetero-

branchus hybrid (Heteroclarias) and

Clarias nigro-digitatus.

Notwithstanding the popularity of cat-

fish farming in Nigeria, the fish farming

industry can best be described as being

at the elementary stage when com-

pared to the large market potential for

its production and marketing.

This is mainly due to unavailability of

juveniles, because of lack of adequate

infrastructure for hatcheries and fin-

gerling production.

Building a road to Breakthrough to Catfish Farm

business

Clarias Gariepinus

“At Makakwute we

hatch and breed only

Clarias, we do not cross

breed or produce

hybrid”.

“The first rule of luck in

business is that you should

persevere. Opportunity

will come your way if you

do persevere and under-

stand the business...”

- Ronald Cohen

UK Venture Capitalist (1945)

Hatchery

If you intend to go into catfish farming

in Nigeria, the first thing you have to

get hold of is the juveniles, most peo-

ple may want to stock fingerlings or

post-fingerlings, but I strongly recom-

mend juveniles, during the seminar in

December 2015/January 2016 I ex-

plained why the juveniles is preferred

to fingerlings.

You may want to hatch for yourself

and grow them to juveniles, you should

be sure the source of the brood-stock,

make sure the hatchery is equipped

properly to handle climate and water

issues which is one of the critical

problem in managing hatchery, also

hatch using the organic system, avoid

inducing the female with harmful

chemical injections, which may cause

their dropping from first 10 days of

their life.

There are many problems that can

develop in the hatchery, extra care is

needed to be given to the fry or larvae

during the first week of life. In this

regard, you have to battle with provi-

sion of zooplankton which serves as

feeds for the larvae, fry and finger-

lings thus playing a major role on their

growth and survival.

There are also the problem of canni-

balism, and the abiotic challenges

such as water temperature, dissolved

oxygen and levels of ammonia.

Distributors Needed

To achieve maximal yield and growth

of catfish, you have to ensure that

the feed you are using contains the

essential minerals and vitamins,

found in crude protein sources, and

fiber.

You should use Makakwute Feed, is

carefully formulated with Veg-pro

technology to enhance the growth of

your fishes and enable good harvest.

Reasons to Use Makakwute Feed

Easy Digestibility: Makakwute or-

ganic catfish feed, is rich in vitamins

and essential minerals making it easy

to digest, it facilitates the FCR pro-

cess almost immediately.

More than 80% of the feed is con-

sumed by the fishes, those that sink

at the bottom of the pond are con-

sumed in no time thereby reducing

water pollution and ammonia build up.

However, development of aquaculture

is completely hindered by inherent

problems of developing nations such

as lack of adequate infrastructural

facilities for the production of com-

mercial quantity juveniles.

This is a major problem, notwith-

standing there is still a big market

for fish farming and investment in

aquaculture in Nigeria.

Affordability : The price of

Makakwute Organic Catfish Feed is

affordable compared to the achieva-

ble result.

You spend less or nothing in medica-

tion because the feed is fortified with

essential nutrient scientifically for-

mulated in the premix used in the

production.

months with good average body

weight and size.

It reduces mortality and long produc-

tion period making fish farming busi-

ness profitable to the farmer.

Vol 1 Issue 1 Page 5

Feed Type

Employees careful conducting quality

control and bagging produced feed

Feeding Method

When feeding, it is advisable to cre-

ate a feeding point instead of just

scattering or broadcasting the feed

across the water surface, this helps

to minimize wastage of feed.

Fish farming in Nigeria is an un-

tapped goldmine based on the fact

that there is an ever increasing

need for it as the best alternative to

meet the protein need of the people.

We sell both fresh and dry fishes,

ranges from 100pic = 100kg, 200pic =

100kg and 300pc = 100kg

The number one valued asset of any com-

pany is her employees, at Makakwute Innovative Ltd, we value the contributions

and hard work of our employees. We will take a bit of time to discuss how you can

differentiate Good employees from Bad one.

Good and Bad Employee How do you differentiate a bad employee from the good one? You must be think-

ing what kind of a question is this, it’s simple, and a good employee portrays

good employee qualities like punctuality, dependability, a perfect team member

and most importantly a very hard work-er. The bad employees are just the op-

posite. In the office, we all want to be a good employee and inspire others to be

one, but there are certain personality traits of a good employee that you must

possess in order to become a good employee.

So, you must be curious to know the

personality traits and good work qualities of a good employee!

Here are some of the Qualities that Dif-ferentiate the Good Employees from the Rest:

The good employees are always ready to

take chances. They love to take up the challenges irrespective of how hard

things turn up to be. Stagnant employees never think of taking the plunge, they are

happy sitting in one corner and clapping for their fellow colleagues.

Flexibility is the key: Good employee will display the immense amount of flexibility and would be ready

to accept any kind of job that is offered to him. He carries a positive attitude and is

eager to provide his best to the work that is on his hand. A good employee is never

afraid of taking on new responsibilities.

Self – motivated: In order to grow at work place the good

employee makes it a point to motivate themselves to learn more about the job.

Keep up themselves with the latest up-dates about the work and gives complete

dedication to their job. They don’t look up to someone else to motivate instead the

work they do acts as an inspiration.

Organized completely: As a good employee, you are expected to

know your role and the responsibilities you will have to share. So, after the com-

pletion of those, the good employee will be proactively helping their managers

with their share of work as it will help him gain knowledge of the responsibilities

that a manager has.

Knowledgeable about the goal: The quality of a good employee is that he

works with the future goals in mind. He works towards achieving the goal of the

project on a broader aspect.

Get your work done: If you are a good employee, then you

must have enough support to make things done with support from others. When

required, others will help you in complet-ing your task just because you have also

helped them in the time of their need.

Positive energy:

Good employees always have positive aura all around them and you will enjoy

working along with them. They are always ready to provide their useful suggestions

in getting things done and at times they hide away from limelight and do their

work quietly. No matter how they are doing it, but the important thing is that they are getting it done successfully.

Love what they do: If you are not doing things that you love,

then there is no way you can give your best to the job. Therefore, this is one trait

that differentiates a good employee from others. You have to love your job com-

pletely in order to be the best in it other-wise you won’t be able to perform better.

Patient in nature:

Doesn’t get hyper if something goes wrong, instead keeps his cool during the

period and solves the problem without creating a fuss. The good employee will

never repeat his mistakes and will not go on back foot just to escape the situation.

He would rather go all out of his way to solve the issue.

Time management:

In order to be good at what you do, you really need to manage your time very

well by prioritizing the work you have on your hand. You must not postpone any

work that involves more than one depart-ment in it because that means due to

your fault, all other departments will also suffer. It is not only about managing your

time well, instead you must be able to manage the time of your boss effectively too.

provide vitamin D include:

Some seafood, such as salmon,

herring, catfish, trout, and oysters

Milk

our ponds and made numerous supplies to

customers as our fish hatchery is fully in

operations. We have also expanded our horizon to a certain degree and we hope

Mr. Ashadi Ubah

I has worked for the company for more

than 4years now, but despite the

thorns, setback due to economic re-

cession Makakwute still stands on its

ground.

The owner of the company strongly

believed he can make it, I as a staff believed it too and that same believe

kept me going shoulder to shoulder with the company, because most of my

friends left when it was hard but I stayed to move with the company be-

cause of the strong believe the owner

had.

I Ubah said a big thank you to

Makakwute, management and staff because I has acquired much

knowledge about pigs, I knew nothing about piggery before joining the com-

pany but now I have many and more stories to tell about pigs starting from

piglets to adult.

I am happy working with Makakwute

and will always be. Management should

fulfil their promises to staff as things

gets better and getting request in time

to staff to carry out their duties effec-

tively.

At Lehae farms, processing food demands attention to details from the staff at the fish dry section.

Fishes are harvested fresh from the ponds accord-

ing to the sizes the customer required. They are

carefully slaughtered, thoroughly washed, and the

belly carefully cut open and intestine and the gills removed, we leave absolutely nothing in the belly

only whole fish for your enjoyment.

Once they are thoroughly washed and rinsed, we placed them in the oven, carefully curled without

any stick holding, it required a special skill to curl a fish without a stick. We do not dry with electric

oven nor do we dry with fire wood.

We only dry our fishes using the heat from char-

coal, the oven is specifically constructed to inhibit

direct flame, also has chambers that allows only

the heat to penetrate and tenderly roast and dry

the fishes.

For this reason our fishes once it is done has a

golden brown color with strong fresh aroma, it take

about three days to get it nice and fresh for your

enjoyment.

To us everything we produce, health is the primary

focus, we ensure fresh and healthy food from our

farm, should you wish to see how this process is

done, feel free to call us using the numbers below,

and the farm supervisor will be delighted to take

you on tour.
