Quails another Tulipmania?

The baseline for whether quail can sell or not and how much it can make is on nutritional value, 'utility', and marketing.
If it's true that a quails' egg has more nutrition value as I have seen on several sites, and that indeed it can be used for treatment of diseases, then there must be a market for these products.
I think what's happening now is merely a beginning of the opening of market for quail and quail products. And we shouldn't assume that because we don't use quail products now, the situation will remain so forever.
Or that one buys a chicken egg for ten shillings because of its size.
I think there's an opportunity here.

Keep the Quails & Rabbits, I know Amaica Restaurant, spring valley, and Milimni serve quail, many more will come, African Food will be a global bestseller, leave the skeptics, even some restaurants serving grasshoppers in burgers in high end Manhattan New York! You won't go wrong, healthier than the steroid pumped foreign bred fowl we are sold. Ras Kienyeji Man

Why is managu,saga,terere etc no overpriced.In western Kenya,people have been keeping rabbits,doves and quails for a long period of time...Not for commercial purposes but for consumption. Why is it that people have realized the nutritional value of quails and rabbits now? Manhattan sio kenya?In kenya we are seen to be doing better if we take junk food and poor when we eat managu,kunde na mihogo If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Some highly esteemed scientist calls it a 'psychological' disease, and he believes there is a cure!, personally think it is a concept called Ubarbie! Ras Kienyeji Man

tassia wrote: If you ask me, this is not a strange trend when you look at most businesses. An example is the mobile phones and accessories businesses and also the Safaricom agency. The pioneers of these in Kenya are all worth hundreds of millions and some more than a billion. Not many mobile shops are making good money today. Guys who started importing clothes in Thailand, Hongkong and Turkey made their money while most of the clothes businesses you see now are not making any money. You can't compare the 2 sir! This can only be compared to rabbbits. The other cases you've mentioned had demand but suppliers were few. when suppliers flooded, they spoiled for the existing suppliers. But demand was there! The prices of quail and quail products will come down but we must not forget that we still have chicken farmers who are making money to date. Because we eat chicken!Most Kenyans consider it a delicacy! Some chicken farmers have already switched to quail creating another opportunity for chicken farmers because this may lead to scarcity. Even if the price of an egg was to fall to Kshs 7, quail business would still be more profitable that Chicken today.
It will be interesting to see how the demand of chicken is affected when the price of quail stabilizes. Will chicken consumers move to quail? no they wont. we are very conservative
There are very high chances that there will be many people eating quails.
I heard this story during the rabbit craze. Rabbit meat was said to be of far greater nutritional value than kawa red meats. Alleged demand in big hotels, abroad(was it China?) etc. But even locally, the pyrabbit schemers told us we couldn't satisfy demand and even after doing so, we just needed to educate more people on benefits of rabbit and voila! big market locally too! never happened
The above factors and others may just make this business last longer than we estimate. And lets not forget that this is in the food industry which will continue to expand as more and more people move to urban areas.
All the best kaka. Be sure to watch for the signs whn it starts crumbling. Then exit by selling your stock very cheap. Happy returns!
