Abstract
This article aimed 1) to study the cost of egg-laying chicken farming business in Koh Taew Subdistrict, Mueang Songkhla District, and 2) to analyze the return on investment from egg-laying chicken farm business in Koh Taew Subdistrict. The qualitative sample consisted of four groups: government officials and community leaders, buyers, consumer villagers, and farmers. The quantitative sample consisted of owners and caretakers of two medium-sized egg-laying chicken farms in Koh Taew Subdistrict. Research instruments use two types of interview forms and questionnaires. Analytical statistics include percentage, average, NPV, IRR, BCR, and PBP. The research results found that (1) the average monthly production cost was 274,727 baht, the average total monthly income was 298,720 baht, and (2) the analysis of investment returns with NPV was 2,162,907 baht, IRR was 61.40 percent, BCR ratio was 2.42, and PBP was 1.70 years. Therefore, investing in egg-laying chicken farming in the Koh Taew Subdistrict area was highly worthwhile. The essential recommendations are that government agencies should support integration to increase bargaining power and develop disease surveillance systems.
