From your pig rearing, you can start out a pork meat business.

Asides from rearing your pigs, you can sell it as pork meat and it will still remain profitable. 

Most times, people like to eat pork depending on how it is prepared. Just like fried chicken, you can roast your pork by the roadside, at junctions, close to bars, joints, etc.

See the steps below to prepare pork meat:

Do not overcook pork or it will become dry and tough. The threat of trichinosis is eliminated when the pork is heated to 137°F but the USDA recommends cooking pork to 145°F to be safe. Cooking to 145°F will result in clear or slightly pink-tinted juices and provides meat that is juicy and tender.

  • When frying, do not place a cover over the pan. This will lock in moisture and cause the meat to braise or steam.
  • Lightly coat pork with vegetable oil to keep it from drying out during cooking. Before roasting pork, sear all sides to create a flavorful crusty surface on the meat.
  • Do not overcrowd pork cuts when cooking. Leaving space between them will allow them to brown and cook more evenly.
  • If using a marinade for basting, set some aside before placing raw pork in it to marinate. Never reuse the marinade that the meat was marinated in.
  • Poach uncooked sausages for a few minutes before frying, broiling, or grilling. Sausage casings should not be pierced before poaching. The piercing will cause the juices to be released and sausages will become dry.

Do not partially cook pork and then store it in the refrigerator to use later. It must be cooked until done. It can be partially cooked or browned using one method, such as microwaving or searing, and then immediately cooked until done using a different method, such as roasting, frying, grilling, or broiling.
