Today is nothing but another stressful day again. But we keep up with the hustle and pray for success.
Yesterday was about a customer who decided to stress me out a little. But I could do nothing much. I decided to give him a welcome feeling. Today he came around to get them.
I don't know what to say about all of these sudden increments in the costs of feed. It's almost an everyday thing now, you buy a feed at a specific price today and tomorrow you might have to add 20% to your former payment to get it again.

I tried raising some fingerlings then I went to the feed depot which was sometime last year December. I priced the feed I wanted to buy and got some kg of it since the fish won't be feeding much at that stage of their life. Then the next thing was that when I priced this same feed again this month and that's about four weeks the price already increased by 35%.
I wasn’t concerned about the sudden hike because we are now used to it. When you want to get something from the market nowadays then you have to prepare for double what you want to get.
If you have bought something for around 20000 naira before, then next time you are going to buy that same thing, just prepare around 25000 to 30000 for that same thing and when you go but, don’t hesitate to get it that very moment because the next time you go again you might not meet it at that same price again.
I can't say the cause of this but I believe this is a result of a lack of price control and regulations from government agencies. Companies and producers just decide at their own free will and increase the price of their products whenever they want. This is not their fault either. But at least there should be a body regulating all of these.
The worst part of it is at the farmer's end. Despite the increase in the price of feed and equipment, consumers and marketers are not ready to buy our products at a favorable price. And you can't just add up any price tag to your farm produce at your own will, if you do then people might not get to buy from you.
I am hopeful with time everything will get in place again.
