- Abstract
Quail agribusiness entrepreneurship venture is a minimal expense, exceptionally simple and highbenefit business. Up till now, the investment of agribusiness in quails is not yet famous. This study aimed to examine the quail agribusiness entrepreneurship in Nigeria. Cross-sectional data were obtained from 164 quail agribusiness entrepreneurs selected through a multi-stage sampling procedure. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results showed that the major motives for the agribusiness entrepreneurs' venture in quail agribusiness were that quail agribusiness and its egg production investment are profitable (23.78%). The technical information on quail production was mainly sourced from their associates/poultry-related agribusiness entrepreneurs (31.10%) and 59.76% had interactions with the agricultural extension officers while 40.85% obtained their funds to finance the quail agribusiness from their savings. The identified most prevalent constraint always faced by the quail agribusiness entrepreneurs include the inaccessibility to supply centers and markets (3.89) which necessitated the major training needs of quail meat processing and handling of quail eggs (26.22%). The study concluded that the age of the quail agribusiness entrepreneurs (r = 0.42; p=0.05), their gross profit margin per production cycle (r = 0.85; p=0.05) and their years of experience in quail agribusiness (r = 0.71; p=0.05) are important contributors in determining the stock size of quails reared Nigeria. It was recommended that stakeholders in the quail agribusiness in Nigeria should improve their business capacity through collective capacity building/training programs and awareness creation on production and the nutritional and medicinal value of quails.
