ABSTRACT
The sudden increase in financing small-scale industry has
continue to agitate the of the public in the recent times, poultry farming as
one fact is to be accorded its deserves. The poultry industry became
commercialized in Nigeria about the year 1962. However local production started
in 1960s and 70s in Edo State. That is formally called Bendel State with very
low output. The main objectives of this study examine the various source of
financing available to small-scale poultry farmers as well as the problem
encounter by those farmers in trying to obtain loan from existing financial
institutions. The hypothesis of this study is that poor performance in the
poultry industries in Edo State is dependent on poor finance and lack of
skilled management. In the course of this work, the adopted methodology
included personal interviews, library, research and the use of questioners.
In the review of literature, it was found that the
major source of finance is through any authorized financial institution,
personal savings and ploughing back profit generated. Evidence from the study
reveal that poultry industry has a role to play in the economy, and the

INTRODUCTION
Oredo is one of the local
government area in Edo state. Its headquarter is Benin city which incidentally
is the capital and administrative centre of Edo state. Oredo is situated
between latitude 60 and 60, 120N and longitude 50 ,45 E. The
traditional inheritance of Edo state Government Areas are Binis who are the Edo
speaking people. However, English language is used for day to day commercial
activities in the area.
Economic activities of the
people in Benin city are many and varial ,the traditional occupation of the
people are farming, sculpture, cloth weaving, poultry, brass-casting,
blacksmith, menting, traditional e.t.c
Today, however industries and
large commercial concerns are fast springing up, Benin has a good number of
industries. It has the infrastructure and the market potentialities to
encourage industries which are market oriented.
According to peter M.A, which
says in the basic business management 1972 that states among Benin many
Economic activities are saw-millers, rubber processing, manufacture of
confectioneries, making of soft drinks, breweries of lager beer and poultry
keeping which is the main focus of the study.
The elites and educated ones
in Oredo local government area are mainly civil and public servants employed in
government offices, marcentle houses and in banks in Benin city are mainly
commercial and others, they undertake all normal banking services and other
miscellaneous services. The dormant economic activities of the people as
earlier mentioned can be from through personal selling, borrowing from friends,
relations, Banks and other financial institution as well as ploughing back
profit.
Ensminger M.E state that the
term poultry covers rather a wide variety of birds consisting of several spaces.
It includes chicken, duck, geese, guneia fowl e.t.c.
In most villages in Oredo
local government area, a large number of domestic fowls are found roaring
about. This is the local way of rearing birds under the free range condition. A
farmer may own one or more hen or cocks. Virtually no care is taken of the
birds can pick up for themselves by hatching there. As a result, much finance
was not needed because production was on a substance basis.
In some places like Benin
city, Sapele and Uromi to mention just a few, the poultry industry has been
seen as a specialized industries by the people. Poultry industries has not
attained the maximum level of output because of lack of co-ordinated policy at
both the national and state level with regard to financing technological and
managerial assistance not withstanding poultry farming yields the quickest
return of all known living stock farming. It can also be established with a
minimum cost. This industry provide several employment opportunity both in the
private and public sector of the economy. About 30% of the Nigeria labour force
has been attributed to small scale industries ,so emphasis is now on commercial
production and effective management of this lucrative business for the
government to help finance this important industries.
