It is already 2020 now, and many young people do not want to go out to work but want to make money by starting their own businesses. Many people set their sights on the farming industry, and no matter what you do, choosing the right project first is crucial. So what small-scale farming projects are recommended for 2020?What should you pay attention to when starting a farming business?
1. What small-scale farming projects are recommended for 2020?
1. Raising meat sheep
Raising sheep in rural areas is also a good investment project. First, the market price fluctuations for sheep are very small, and rural sheep raising is mainly free-range, so there are few diseases and prevention is easy. Before farming, you will buy breeding stock; generally some rams and ewes are selected, and a ewe that can reproduce directly costs 500 yuan each, while a ram is a bit more expensive at about 1000 yuan each. It depends on how much you want to invest, and you can buy the number accordingly. The profit from one sheep is between 1400-2000 yuan; after deducting costs, each sheep can earn about 1000 yuan. In fact, raising sheep is a long-term project, so there is no need to rush; you can gradually increase the farming scale, and the profits will keep getting higher.
2. Raising rabbits
Rabbits reproduce relatively quickly. Generally, if raised well, they will basically give birth to baby rabbits every month, and the farming profit is also very large. If you want to do farming in rural areas, choosing rabbits is very good. There are now two kinds on the market, meat rabbits and rex rabbits. If rabbit meat is not very common locally, you can consider raising rex rabbits and make money from their fur.
3. Free-range chickens
Rural areas are vast and rich in resources, making them especially suitable for raising free-range chickens. Free-range chicken chicks are roughly 3 yuan each; you can buy 500, which is 1500. For the whole farming process, the feeding cost from chick to market is 17 yuan per chicken. If no chicks die, 500 chickens in total would be 8500, about 10000 yuan or so. Free-range chickens can be marketed after 8-10 months of feeding, and the market price is 50~60 yuan each. If raised well, the net profit can reach ten thousand yuan. Of course, the returns are not too large, but free-range chickens have low farming risk and are easy to manage, so if you want to farm, you can still consider it.
4. Raising wild boar
People now have a large demand for pork. Compared with domestic pigs, everyone prefers wild boar meat, which is more delicious. Although this meat is expensive, it tastes good, is healthy and upscale, and is deeply loved by consumers. Judging from the reasons why ecological parks and farmhouse restaurants are booming, raising wild boar is a project worth considering.
2. What should you pay attention to when starting a farming business?
The most important thing in the farming industry is first to decide what to raise based on the type of farming location, climate, market, and so on. For example, friends living in lake areas should find that raising fish, ducks, and crayfish are the key targets of local farming.
Market conditions are unpredictable, and the development of the livestock industry itself shows the characteristic of advancing in waves. Therefore, you should learn more about information, gather intelligence, and based on local consumption characteristics and the development of nearby farming, analyze it in a timely manner, and use a development perspective to decide the type of breeding, breeding time, breeding scale, and time to market. Avoid rushing in all at once when profits are good, causing product surplus, and massively disposing of stock when profits are poor, causing production to fall into a trough.
