Agricultural business in Russia
Agriculture has played an important role in the development of the whole history of man and the economy. On this day, agricultural activity is considered as a source of income, and not as a primary necessity for growing food.
Agriculture in Russia is an inextricable part of the country's economy, occupying a significant share of GDP. Agricultural business in Russia is considered a young industry, so as few decades, agriculture has developed in the form of collective and state farms. Only the last 20 years began to appear private forms of agricultural management.
We note that the level of development of agriculture differs significantly in different regions of the country. In the first place, it is associated with climatic conditions and different types of agricultural lands. But thanks to the fact that the territory of Russia is almost "borderless", there is a large number of favorable lands for business in the country.
In Russia, plant breeding and animal husbandry are successfully developing.
The profit of the enterprise does not depend on the chosen direction, the main condition is:
- technology selection;
- business organization;
- investments.
Agricultural business in Russia is represented by farms with large agrarian holdings. Of course, large holdings have great opportunities and prospects for development, but small agricultural business is no less attractive for investors, as it does not require large financial investments.
Small agricultural business
Small agricultural business is mainly represented by farms. Such a form of knowledge is very popular because it does not require significant investments, and for the processing of land can be quite a few people and 2-3 units of equipment.
The main problem of small agricultural business is the search for canals. Farmers are losing a lot by selling their products to wholesale buyers at low prices. And this problem is most often observed in the sale of cereals, technical crops and vegetables. This is due to the high cost of storage.
Vegetable growers sell the harvest at a low price so that the products do not start to rot. Farmers growing grain do not have the opportunity to store produce until the winter, when the price is significantly higher than during the harvest season.
Successful entrepreneurs are looking for a way out of cooperation. For example, at the expense of financial associations can build one warehouse for all. It is possible to reimburse the cost by handing over the lease of vacant land to other entrepreneurs.
How and where to start a rural business from scratch
Starting a private agricultural business is based on the choice of direction and evaluation of the existing base. It is necessary to consider the amount of land available, be it a lucrative land, pasture or garden, and financial opportunities. Particular attention should be paid to the climatic conditions of the region, as they are the key factor in obtaining profits.
After choosing the direction, it is necessary to register the selected form of economic activity. This is very important and necessary for the normal functioning of the enterprise.
Organization of business on the land of agricultural purposes
When organizing business on the land of agricultural purpose, it is necessary to focus on the law "On farming". It regulates the activity, which can be carried out on the leased land, including the possibility of building structures on the land of agricultural activity.
The business plan of an agricultural enterprise is complied with the standard rules, but has its own peculiarities. First of all, it is necessary to take into account that when planning the profits, it is chosen for the annual period. As it is known, farmers get a harvest once a year.
It is impossible to forget about the high risk of similar activities associated with climatic conditions. In case of unfavorable conditions and loss of harvest, the farmer runs the risk of losing all year-round profit.
Agricultural business ideas
