I would like to go into business supplying pigeons for hotels and restaurants — mainly Chinese ones — here in Metro Manila. My problem is: I dont know the prevailing market price of pigeon. Where could I ask for their purchase price and dressing standard for pigeons and their weekly requirements? Any help towards this direction will be highly appreciated.

Dear Benson,

Doing some research is always necessary and useful so that you don’t go into the business blindedly.

Try to make phone calls to existing restaurants and even suppliers and inquire.  Getting them to talk lengthily to get as much information will be challenging.  Also, try to visit them personally and get information.  If there is a restaurant association, they can also be very helpful.

Let me know if you have some developments.

Regards,

Jay Aldeguer
