Features and advantages of farming business

Let's consider the key features of business in agricultural production:

  • registration as an individual entrepreneur;
  • When farming livestock, it is necessary to have your own veterinarian;
  • When growing crops, you need an agronomist, because without a specialist, you may simply not notice the death of your crop due to various pests;

Analysis of the situation in agriculture in Russia

For more details on the market situation, watch this video:

Today, the situation in the agricultural market, against the backdrop of foreign economic factors, is very favorable for starting this type of business.

Due to many factors, including the gradually falling exchange rate of the ruble against the dollar, sanctions for Western producers and subsidies for agricultural production, this sector of the economy is now considered profitable for entrepreneurs.

Having studied the situation on the regional market and compiled detailed business plan you can fill an empty niche and provide the organization with a successful start.

Competitiveness of domestic producers relative to foreign ones

Over the past decade, the position of domestic farm producers has strengthened significantly compared to foreign ones.

With the current government policy aimed at comprehensive export substitution of agricultural products, and with the active support of the state, the opening and development of new niches in the farming sector is more than relevant.

Competition with European suppliers, which was the main limiting factor, has dropped to a minimum. The main issue for the farmer is the choice of direction and product for farming.

Calculation of approximate costs for starting a business

Capital investments depend on the initial conditions of development. If a farm is organized on the basis of an existing household, then the costs will be lower. In this case, there are already land and outbuildings.

If a business starts from scratch, then here the amount of investment depends on the direction of activity, the cost of land, animals, plants, etc. On average, 5-6 million rubles are needed to open a farm.

Accordingly, we need . When searching for an investor, you should use all possible methods, not skipping those that seem unpromising.

Payback also depends on the chosen direction. Eg, The pig farm will begin to pay for itself in 4-5 years. If chicken breeding is chosen for the activity, then profits will begin to flow within 8 months, because This product is in high demand.

Possible risks and profitability of organizing a farm

It is necessary to open a farming business with a clear understanding of the possible risks, because... This is a very risky activity. There are many "enemies" here. In the field of livestock farming, these can be epidemics, quarantine zones, diseases that can lead to the complete death of livestock. In the sulfur of crop production, these are insects, natural factors, etc.

The profitability of a business directly depends on the choice of activity and the quality of the approach to your enterprise. If you organize a farm competently, clearly taking into account all the nuances and risks, then, as a rule, any farming enterprise is quite profitable.

Where to start a business

Setting up a business is a long, painstaking process.

First of all, a novice entrepreneur who has firmly decided to organize his own farm (whether livestock farming or crop farming) needs to resolve the following pressing issues:

  1. Decide on the direction of activity. For example, you can engage in crop farming or livestock farming. Here, a lot depends on what kind of profit is planned in the future - seasonal or off-season, as well as on financial capabilities, experience, and the market situation. For example, if you are involved in crop production, you will need.
  2. Create a detailed business plan. In it you need to calculate in detail the costs and estimated income, and determine the payback period for investments. It is important to take into account the peculiarities of the situation in the regional market.
  3. Purchase the necessary land, equipment, livestock, etc. In this case, it is better to consult with experienced specialists and study all the nuances of the chosen industry. Agriculture.
  4. Go through the state registration procedure. Depending on the area of ​​activity, you can register the enterprise as an individual entrepreneur or as an LLC. It is necessary to develop and maintain accompanying documentation and obtain the necessary permits.
  5. Apply for government support and possible with financing of activities. The state offers favorable loans to agricultural enterprises, and many banks are ready to issue loans on favorable terms.

It is important to remember that in agriculture, a confident and successful start decides a lot.

Russian agriculture is not going through its best times. However, the agro-industrial complex, and agriculture as a basic industry, still remains the leading sector of the country’s economy, which forms the agri-food market, food and economic security, labor and settlement potential of rural areas.

"Which direction should we go?" - one of the most pressing issues for the agro-industrial complex. Experts and scientists see prospects in the development of farming. It is private farms that are called upon to restore the greatness of the industry.

“The development and support of farming is a very important strategic approach. The whole world is based on family farms. And the most successful agriculture is where the family works: Europe, America, Brazil, Argentina are examples of this,” says the president of the Association of Peasant Farms and agricultural cooperatives of Russia (AKKOR) Vladimir Plotnikov.

Is it possible to develop farming in our country? Absolutely yes. And there are clear examples of this. The Oryol region is a zone of intensive agricultural production. 90 percent of all land in the region is agricultural land. About 300 thousand people live in rural areas, which is almost 40 percent of the population of the Oryol region.

Today, 1,258 farms and more than 113 thousand private farms are successfully operating in the region. In 2012 alone, their share in the volume of gross agricultural output amounted to more than 7 percent of the value.

“Of course, by and large, the general situation in agriculture can be assessed as critical,” he noted in an interview Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Natural Resources, Environmental Management and Ecology Vladimir Kashin. — On farms there is a decline in cattle numbers and a decrease in milk production. If we talk about grain, then in general the situation is also disappointing. The Ministry of Agriculture's forecasts for 95 million tons may not come true by 25 million tons, and the quality of grain is also deteriorating. It must be remembered that there are niches in agriculture that should be occupied, first of all, by private plots. There you can grow 70-85 percent of potatoes, vegetables, and fruits. It could also be poultry farming. They are the ones who need to be given special attention now. Including the authorities."

It should be noted that in the Oryol region, at the end of last year, farmers produced 2,035 tons of livestock and poultry in live weight, 10,359 tons of milk, more than 340 thousand tons of grain, more than 30 thousand tons of potatoes, three thousand tons of vegetables.

Support for farmers in the Oryol region is carried out within the framework of the state program for the development of agriculture and regulation of markets for agricultural products, raw materials and food for 2013-2020, determined by resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation and the Oryol region.

Events are held regularly. In the first half of 2013 alone, 37.758 million rubles were allocated for all kinds of subsidies, including more than three million from the regional budget. Farms can count on financial support in the form of reimbursement of costs for construction, modernization, technical re-equipment, and reconstruction.

Since 2012, a number of departmental targeted programs have been operating in the region. They cover family livestock farms and, most importantly, support beginning farmers. In general, in the Oryol region it is profitable to be a beginning farmer. The authorities especially strive to support those who are just trying to get on their feet and contribute to the development of the regional agro-industrial complex.

Beginning farmers can count on grants of up to one and a half million rubles and one-time assistance for household improvements of up to 250 thousand rubles. The maximum amount of a grant for the development of a family livestock farm per peasant (farm) farm is 10 million rubles, but not more than 60 percent of the costs. In fact, more than half of all costs.

Investing in such projects is profitable. As Vladimir Plotnikov noted in an interview, “those family farms that currently operate in our country are economically efficient.”

“There is a completely different interest here. People work on their land. For themselves. And the fact that the government of the Oryol region is making efforts to develop family farms and beginning farmers is strategically correct. And this experience should be used throughout Russia,” the president said ACCOR. According to Plotnikov, the future of Russian agriculture lies in private farming.

“We simply have no other way. Already, the share of farmers in the total production volume is increasing every year, the number of livestock is growing, and, consequently, the volume of milk production is growing. The number of arable lands is increasing. The process of transition to private farm agriculture is already underway. And if the systematic approach that is used in the Oryol region is applied everywhere, then it will move at a faster pace,” noted Vladimir Nikolaevich.

Oryol beginning farmers can count on a number of concessions. The authorities are ready to support them. Grants can be spent both on the purchase of land, construction, repair and reconstruction of premises, and on the construction of roads, connections to electrical, water, gas and heating networks. They will also provide assistance in purchasing animals, equipment, equipment, seeds and planting material, necessary transport and equipment.

Today, private farms in the Oryol region specialize in milk production, growing grain crops and potatoes. There are farms engaged in sheep breeding, geese breeding, and fish farming. Last year, 41.96 million rubles were allocated from the federal and regional budgets for the payment of grants. With this money, five livestock buildings were reconstructed, 146 heads of cows and heifers, and 242 heads of sheep were purchased.

Beginning farmers have joined the fleet. Nine tractors, 27 units of trailed equipment, and 3 cars were purchased. The farms were replenished with 72 heads of cows and heifers, 82 heads of young cattle, and 50 heads of sheep. 3 livestock buildings have been built and reconstructed, and a cage line for growing valuable fish species is being built.

In 2013, 43.27 million rubles of funds from the federal and regional budgets were allocated for the payment of grants. Peasant (farm) farms plan to reconstruct and equip 5 livestock buildings, purchase 12 tractors, 1 combine, 11 units of trailed equipment, 240 heads of cows and heifers, 270 heads of young cattle, 300 heads of sheep.

“It is still very difficult for a peasant to stand up to his full height. We cannot protect anyone from the vagaries of the weather, crop failure, financial troubles. But we are trying to do everything so that the support - legal, financial, organizational - is systematic. Grants, subsidies are also kind of good start, growth prospects. Every year the percentage of those wishing to receive them, as well as the total number of farmers, is increasing. This is a certain indicator of trust in state policy in the field of rural entrepreneurship. Essentially, by building a dialogue with farmers, we are laying the foundation for the revival and strengthening of the Oryol village" ,” Governor of the Oryol Region Alexander Kozlov commented on the existing farming support system in the region.

The development of family livestock farms and support for beginning farmers are priority areas. They are included in the State Program for the Development of Agriculture and Regulation of Markets for Agricultural Products, Raw Materials and Food for 2013-2020. So work with potential grant recipients will continue, which means the agro-industrial complex of the Oryol region will continue to develop.

Farming is a profitable type of business, which, however, is very risky and requires high costs. Let's consider the main sectors of farming and the features of their implementation, as well as the reasons for such a rapid development of livestock farming in Russia.

Farm business development

Farm business in Russia, in particular livestock farming, has become increasingly popular and developed over the years thanks to the following factors:

  • the presence of government programs that, if farmers comply with certain conditions, in order to support newly created farms and national producers, provide subsidies, tax breaks, grants, initial capital, and allocate land for farming;
  • rising food prices, which increases farm profits;
  • food products produced by farms, namely meat, milk, eggs, cheese, honey, cottage cheese, are always in demand in the markets and have their own customer base, as they provide the basic needs of consumers;
  • restriction of access to the market for products of foreign suppliers and manufacturers - national producers, in turn, do not experience such restrictions;
  • a wide range of economic activities, the emergence and development of new species (for example, ostrich breeding farms);
  • the products of the national manufacturer inspire confidence among consumers and are in demand;
  • the opportunity to obtain a permanent customer base and markets for products.

Thus, farming business is a profitable and promising activity that is rapidly developing and, at certain costs, can bring significant income that will fully recoup the invested funds and time spent.

Farming sectors

Farming is divided into 2 main sectors:

  • agriculture (growing various types of grain crops: rice, wheat, barley, etc.);
  • livestock farming

Animal breeding as a business includes the following sub-sectors:

  • pig breeding;
  • cattle breeding (cattle breeding);
  • sheep breeding;
  • poultry farming;
  • bee breeding;
  • horse breeding;
  • ostrich breeding;
  • reindeer husbandry;
  • rabbit breeding;
  • fur farming and others.

Pig farming, poultry farming, sheep farming and cattle breeding have received the greatest development.

Cattle breeding meets the population's needs for milk and meat; beef and veal are of high quality and high cost.

Poultry farming provides the market with meat and eggs, and poultry meat (turkeys, chickens, ducks, turkeys) is more in demand than beef and pork due to the lower cost of meat and the absence of difficulties in breeding birds on farms. Chicken is the most popular meat in markets; chicken breeding is a promising and profitable activity.

Pig farming is a rapidly developing type of economic activity. Pork is the second most popular meat in markets, after chicken; this meat is cheaper than beef and has high quality, nutritional value and calorie content.

Sheep farming requires a large amount of pasture for its development and provides markets not only with meat and milk, but also with wool.

Pig breeding as a business

Before you start pig farming, you should keep in mind that although this is a highly profitable activity, it, like any type of farming activity, requires a lot of effort, time and significant financial costs to achieve results.

Basic rules to follow if you decide to start pig farming

1. Decide on the location of the farm, taking into account: established standards for proximity to populated areas, the minimum required area of ​​the farm, distance from water sources.

2. Prepare the necessary documents for the administration to sign. Find out under what conditions you can receive government subsidies, benefits, etc.

3. Study the market structure, namely the supply and demand of pork meat and lard in the markets in your region. As a rule, the greatest demand is for lean and lean pork, lard with a layer of meat (loin).

4. Prepare a business plan that, when calculating financial expenses, will show the effectiveness of pig farming and possible profits. Financial expenses include the following:

  • buying pigs;
  • construction or rental of premises;
  • purchase of inventory and equipment;
  • staff salaries;
  • stern;
  • payment for veterinarian services, vaccinations, etc.

The plan also needs to assess the possible risks of the enterprise and indicate the stages of project implementation with actions at each stage.

5. Build pigsties, sheds, purchase the necessary tools and equipment, feed.

6. Hire qualified personnel (animal technician, laborers, pig breeders, etc.).

7. Great attention should be paid to the selection of pig breeds. There are pig breeds specially bred for production:

  • meat;
  • meat and lard;
  • meat and bacon;
  • bacon;
  • lard

The meat and bacon producing breeds are in greatest demand because meat brings in more income than lard. Females and males must be purchased from different suppliers to prevent genetic mutations in the offspring.

8. Be sure to periodically disinfect pigsties and equipment, destroy rodents, ensure regular vaccinations and examinations of offspring and adults by a veterinarian.

But you shouldn’t expect instant results, because a pig farm pays for itself in about 2-3 years. A combination of growing potatoes, corn, etc. is also successful. with raising pigs, because feed costs in this case are reduced; Organizing your own production of meat and sausage products and lard is also profitable (for example, you can organize a meat and lard smokehouse).

Poultry farming as a business

Poultry breeding as a business, especially chickens and turkeys, requires lower financial costs than, for example, pig farming, since birds are less demanding, but brings a stable income because poultry meat is very popular due to its low cost, dietary content, and low calorie content.

Before you start poultry farming, draw up a business plan that will help you calculate the possible profit and the period within which it will be received, as well as financial costs (for the purchase of young animals, feed, vaccinations, rent of territory, construction of premises, equipment, etc.) , existing risks.

How to become a poultry farmer from scratch?

Let's look at the main factors that need to be taken into account if you decide to start breeding birds.

1. The choice of breed depends on the focus of your farm. Chicken breeds are:

  • for meat production (Cornish, red whitetails);
  • for the production of eggs (Leghorn, Russian White, Pavlovsk, Minor);
  • for the production of eggs and meat (Loman Brown, Moscow black, Kuchinsky).

It is most profitable to purchase breeds of chickens that are adapted for the production of both eggs and meat.

2. Having your own garden reduces the cost of bird feed; in the spring and summer, chickens can and should be grazed in the garden.

3. To obtain high-quality domestic meat, special attention should be paid to bird feed. So, in addition to feed, the diet of chickens should include: dandelions, nettles, carrots, pumpkin, potatoes, beets and other vegetables and herbs.

4. Rooms for chickens should be equipped with everything necessary: ​​feeders, drinkers, thermometers, instruments for measuring room humidity. Each breed has its own characteristics. Thus, egg-bearing breeds need ventilation, specially equipped perches, free space, good lighting (the room should be lit from 6 am to 9 pm, poor lighting is stressful for the bird and its egg production decreases or stops altogether) and thermal insulation.

5. Purchasing and equipping an incubator will help save on young animals; eggs laid by a laying hen are placed in an incubator, which must be equipped with a thermometer. If the incubator is the simplest and not automatic, the eggs are turned over manually (3 times a day). From 60 eggs placed in an incubator, you can get 45 or more chickens.

6. Purchased young animals should be vaccinated and given antibiotics to prevent possible diseases.

7. Regular disinfection of the premises should be carried out; if a disease is suspected, sick birds that are subject to slaughter should be isolated, a veterinarian should be invited to make a final diagnosis, and vaccination should be carried out.

Bird breeding is a profitable, and most importantly simple and affordable activity that does not require the construction of special premises or the lease of a large area of ​​land.

Birds can also be raised in old barns, which just need to be equipped with everything necessary; a personal plot or vegetable garden will suffice. Chicken breeding is the most popular type of poultry farming; chickens are unpretentious in feeding and care, have high egg production and, with proper care, produce valuable and in-demand meat.

Breeding cattle

So, what does it take to become a cattle farmer? Before you start breeding yourself, draw up a detailed business plan, which should include:

  • planned production volumes;
  • production part (costs for purchasing feed);
  • marketing part (advertising, product prices);
  • organizational part (information about suppliers, buyers, staff);
  • risk assessment;
  • financial part (sources of financial support, planned income).

  • breeding young animals for sale;
  • meat supply;
  • milk supply;
  • supply of meat and milk;
  • processing of animal skins;
  • production of dairy products (cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese);
  • production of meat products (sausage products).

The next stage will be to go through all the authorities, prepare documentation and obtain permits (for construction on sites, etc.).

One of the most important aspects of organizing livestock breeding as a business is purchase of livestock. Things to consider:

  • selection and purchase is best done with the participation of an experienced veterinarian or livestock breeder;
  • The main meat breeds of cows are: Hereford, Charolais, Limousin, Salers, Kalmyk, Kazakh Whitehead and others. Dairy breeds: black-and-white, red steppe, Yaroslavl, Kholmogory;
  • A healthy dairy cow, which will produce large quantities of milk, has a barrel-shaped belly, a long head, small horns, strong muscles, special attention should be paid to the cow's udder. The cow's udder should be large, the skin should be elastic, and the udder should be cup-shaped. Cows with round udders will produce little milk. When purchasing, be sure to milk the cow, and no hardening should be felt in the udder; it should be soft and pliable. A healthy cow has a clear look, no cough, a firm and light gait, a narrow hindquarters and a sagging back are considered faults;
  • read the animal's documents and vaccination record.

Cows must be provided with pastures, feed must be purchased, hay must be stored for the winter, regular disinfection of barns and vaccinations is mandatory, and it is also necessary to equip premises for slaughterhouses.

Beef and veal are expensive and high-quality meats that are in demand among consumers. To increase income from raising livestock, it is necessary to organize the processing of meat and milk and produce cheese, cottage cheese, kefir, sausages, sour cream, fermented baked milk, etc. for sale.

How to become a successful farmer?

In order to become a successful farmer, you should take into account that farming does not involve immediate profit; it requires significant financial costs. Livestock farming is one of the most risky types of business, since there is always a risk of epidemics and natural disasters that can lead to animal pestilence, farm losses and bankruptcy of farmers.

Keep in mind that producing quality products is only the first stage. The second stage is its implementation. You can find sales markets, or you can open your own stores, which will generate income, but will also require additional costs for renting premises, personnel, equipment, etc.

Farming in Russia receives government support and brings high income to businessmen, but also requires large investments and time, as well as drawing up a detailed business plan. The main branches of livestock farming in Russia and around the world are pig farming, poultry farming and cattle breeding, as their products are always in high demand, both in national and foreign markets.

Abroad, farming is considered a profitable and promising activity. In our country, this type of small business is just beginning to develop, so the state provides comprehensive support to entrepreneurs who open their own businesses in the agricultural industry. Farming as a business idea for beginners attracts not only beginners, but also experienced businessmen. We will discuss how to organize your own farm in this article.

Where to begin?

Many novice entrepreneurs often ask the question, where to start farming in Russia in order to quickly promote their business and achieve net profit? In addition, many doubt whether it is worth farming in difficult economic conditions?

Risk is present in all types of business. No one can guarantee that your business will turn into a highly profitable enterprise. Therefore, before doing so, it is necessary to carefully calculate all costs, determine the level of competition and find markets. Thanks to this, you can understand how profitable and promising this or that business is. After this, you should draw up a farming business plan and include all expense items in it.

Since the agricultural business requires not only financial but also labor costs, be prepared for the fact that you will have to work a lot physically. If you are not afraid of this, feel free to open your own farm.

What is profitable to breed and grow?

So, you have firmly decided that I want to start farming, where to start? First of all, you need to choose a direction of activity. According to experts, mixed farms that engage in livestock farming, crop production and product processing work most efficiently.

If you are interested, consider the following options:

  • A pig farm with a population of 100 pigs will bring a good profit. To open such an enterprise, you will need from 2 to 5 million rubles;
  • Poultry farming does not require large financial investments. In addition, hired labor may not be involved in this area. This is a great option for those who are interested in how to open their own farm from scratch;
  • Fishing, when approached skillfully, brings excellent income from the sale of fish and the organization of paid fishing;
  • Beekeeping is very popular in our country, since there is always a high demand for fresh natural honey. Investments in such a business pay off in the shortest possible time.

The choice of activity largely depends on your preferences and financial capabilities.

In plant growing you can do:

  • Growing grain crops. There are no problems with the sale of such products in our country. It is used in the textile, food and pharmaceutical industries. In addition, grain is the main food for birds and animals;
  • Growing vegetables and berries. This is a promising line of business that allows you to make a good profit during the season. To reduce the seasonality factor, you can grow vegetables, flowers or berries in greenhouses;
  • Gardening. This type of business is highly profitable. Investments in this type of activity are considered long-term, since the initial investment pays off only after 3-4 years. Over time, you will have a business that requires virtually no maintenance costs.

Registration of activities

If you decide to start farming, where to start? Of course, with the registration of the enterprise. With large production volumes it is impossible to do without this.

There are different forms of conducting this type of business activity:

  1. Own subsidiary plot. In this case, the types and scale of products produced are limited, but sanitary inspections are not carried out at such an enterprise;
  2. Farming. This type of business requires a larger scale. It does not have any restrictions regarding the volume of product sales. Private farms are periodically inspected by various regulatory authorities.

After you decide on the registration form, proceed with the registration, and also register with the tax office. If you plan to open a processing enterprise on the basis of your farm in the future, it is better to immediately register a legal entity.

So, how to register farming in Russia?

To do this you need to obtain the following documents:

  • Fire inspection permit;
  • SES permission;
  • Permission from local authorities.

After you go through all these steps, you can start working.

What is needed to create a farm?

Let's figure out what you need to start farming? First of all, you need to choose a location for the future farm. If your farm is located near a big city, this will allow you to significantly save on transporting products to customers. It is also desirable that this be an ecologically clean area. After you decide where to start farming, you should deal with financial issues.

Many people have probably heard that farming as a business is supported by the state, so they hope to receive such help. In fact, applying for a subsidy is not so simple. To do this, you will have to fulfill many conditions, which not all beginning farmers can do. Of course, you can take part in one of these programs, but you should not rely solely on this help. Therefore, if you are interested in how to start farming without money, first carefully study the legislation, and only after that start implementing your business idea.

Choosing a direction of activity

Let's figure out what kind of farming is profitable to do? According to experts, the following areas of activity are most suitable for aspiring entrepreneurs:

Geese breeding

In order to do this kind of work, you need to have certain skills. In addition, for raising geese, a room and special areas for poultry walking should be equipped. It should be noted that with the right approach it can bring excellent profits. Even beginners can do this kind of work, but to do this they need to study special literature in order to gain the necessary knowledge.

Geese quickly gain weight. At two months of age it can reach 4 kilograms. This is an unpretentious bird that does not require special conditions. For one adult goose you can earn 600–1200 rubles at the market. In addition, you can sell the fluff. It's not cheap. From one bird you can collect 600 g of fluff. Resellers give 200 rubles for 100 g of such raw materials. If you perform simple calculations, you can understand whether it is profitable to engage in farming, and in particular, breeding geese.

Goat breeding

Modern people are concerned about their health, so organic food has recently become very popular. Many consumers began to prefer goat milk, which is completely absorbed by the body and has medicinal properties. This product is also often purchased for children who are allergic to cow's milk. According to experts, in a few years it will become one of the most profitable areas of activity.

Pheasant breeding

It has not yet become widespread in our country. Few farms are engaged in this business, so you can easily take your place in this market. If you follow all the rules for breeding these exotic birds and invest decent money in your business, over time it will begin to bring excellent profits.

Pheasant meat and eggs can be sold to restaurants, individuals, and large supermarkets. If you find a few regular customers, the business will flourish.

Breeding partridges

Many residents of small towns and villages need additional income. Most often they are engaged in poultry farming, for example.

Since the development of farming in Russia is at an early stage, few entrepreneurs are engaged in this business, so there are no problems with the sale of such products. This is a low-cost and quite promising business that can be organized in a country house or in a private house.

Breeding laying hens

For beginning entrepreneurs, this is the simplest and most accessible idea for organizing your own farm. This does not require large labor or financial costs and at the same time allows you to quickly get a good result.

Experienced businessmen usually specialize in breeding breeding birds that are highly productive. This allows them to receive a stable high income all year round. The main advantage of such a business idea is minimal financial investment, high demand for products and excellent development prospects. Over time, a household can grow into a large enterprise generating excellent profits.

Advantages and disadvantages

To understand whether farming is profitable in Russia, you should first become familiar with all the advantages and disadvantages of this type of business activity.

Despite the problems of farming in Russia, many entrepreneurs move from the city to the countryside to organize such a business. And this is not surprising, since in cities almost all niches in the market have been occupied for a long time, so achieving success in such conditions is not so easy. The absence of much competition is one of the main advantages of a farming business. If you have little capital, you can start with vegetable growing and gradually develop your business. You can create your own form literally from scratch, and this is another important advantage.

Among the disadvantages of such a business, I would like to highlight the long payback period and the high risks that are present in all areas of agricultural activity.

Decide for yourself where to start farming and in what direction to develop your business. Love your business, and it will definitely please you with good profits.

conclusions

Now you know how to become a farmer from scratch. Before choosing a business idea, carefully research the market and determine possible distribution channels for finished products. In addition, you need to draw up a competent plan in order to correctly distribute cash flows. Remember that this type of activity involves long-term investments, so be prepared to work hard to achieve a positive result.
