Majalengka – Having started quail farming in February 2023, Diding Komarudin has already enjoyed the benefits of his quail farm. With 3,500 quails, he can produce 32-34 kilograms of eggs per day, selling them at around IDR 32,000 per kilogram. “It’s only been two years, but Alhamdulillah (thank God), the farm is running well and producing. It’s also created jobs for the local community,” said Diding when visited at his quail farm in Pinangraja Village, Jatiwangi District, Majalengka Regency, on Friday, June 27, 2025.
Diding started quail farming with just 500 quails and worked hard to care for them, feeding them twice a day and regularly cleaning the coop. “After two weeks, they started laying eggs, and I sold them myself. Based on my calculations, I’m still making a profit,” he revealed.
Currently, people come to buy quail eggs from Diding’s farm every day. According to him, the most important thing is providing food and maintaining the coop. “Food is the most important thing, of course. As living creatures, they need to be fed. But the coop also needs to be cleaned daily because it gets dirty quickly,” he said.
Although the farm is located in a residential area, Diding uses a special liquid to prevent the quail droppings from smelling bad. “We use a special liquid to eliminate the odor, and I’m happy to share my knowledge with anyone who’s interested,” he said.
Diding hopes that more quail farmers will emerge in Majalengka Regency, as this will create mutually beneficial opportunities for collaboration. “We sell 34 kilograms of eggs per day, and they’re always in demand. Sometimes, we even run out of stock because people are always asking for quail eggs,” he concluded. (Acil)
