I am a contract grower with Magnolia. Here are some tips if you are thinking of doing the same. Firstly, you must build a tunnel ventilated poultry house. It is advisable to build it big enough to house 36,000 chickens. The cost of building the house will be around 12 million pesos. Plus you will need a further 4 to 8 million to buy the following. You will need a few hectares of land, preferably around 8 hectares so you can expand your business later on. Then you have a whole range of other things to do before you start operating, such and installing electricity, business permits, obtaining receipt books from BIR prior to commencing, then organizing SSS and Philhealth for employees, You need to ensure you have a good water supply and if and when you find it you will need to have a deepwell, then the water must be tested to see if it is above the required quality. Then you will be best advised to buy a truck that is large enough to haul rice hulls, preferably a 12 wheeler. Then you will need to buy a generator big enough to provide electricity to the poultry house in case of brown outs (and there will be many). Please be wary of hiring an engineer to construct the building, you will be paying a whole lot more than it actually costs. It is advisable to purchase the materials yourself and pay someone to build it. When you are ready to begin you will be loaded with one-day old chicks. The growth period is usually around 32 days to grow a chicken of around 1.7 to 1.8 kgs. After harvesting, don’t hold your breath while waiting for your check from Magnolia in 15 days as they promise. It takes 30 days or more, then it takes 4 days to clear before you have access to the funds, so make sure you have enough funds to pay wages, bills etc while waiting for your payment. The payment per chick will be around 15 to 19 pesos depending on your performance. The contract will not mention a rate increase during its term of three years. I hope this information has been helpful to someone intending to venture into the business of Contract Growing.
