You have a dacha - that's good luck, or how to use your garden and dacha plot for business

Is it possible to create a business in the country, and will it be promising? If not, then there would be no point in writing this article. But since there is text below, and quite a large one, the conclusion is logical: business in the country is more than possible. In this example, consider the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bgrowing crops and then selling them, which implies a possible income of $ 800,000 per year

.

If you have a dacha, then you certainly have at least 10 acres of land that you need for cultivation. Here the question almost immediately arises - what to grow? It is necessary to choose the most profitable crop that would bring in more money and would require few costs. It's difficult to define this one. Some people don’t do this at all and rely on the great Russian “what if”, some listen to the opinions of experts who predict growth in sales next year, for example, potatoes, and others simply rely on intuition.

For example, if 10 hectares are planted with potatoes, then with an average harvest (200-300 kg per hectare) you can harvest 2-3 tons of this product. Its average price per 1 kilogram is 0.5 dollars (it’s easier to calculate), respectively, from one harvest you can get 1000-1500 dollars. Is this enough for you? Unfortunately no.

Next example – strawberry

. Most people grow this product solely for personal consumption. From one hundred square meters you can get (on average) up to 150 kg, from 10 hundred square meters - 1500 kg. The cost of strawberries is $3 per kilogram, respectively, with 1500 kg you can get $4500. Better, but still not enough!

Is it possible to earn even more?

Earnings of $4,500 are guaranteed if you grow single-fruiting strawberries, but there are berries that produce 2 or 3 harvests per year. Accordingly, you can earn 2-3 times more. At the same time, it is also possible to earn money from seedlings, which are not cheap. To do this, you will have to grow seedlings in plastic bags so that their root system is closed. This will allow them to be sold throughout the warm season along with berries: summer, autumn, spring. These seedlings take root always and everywhere, accordingly, they are sold to the last, and there is practically no competition

.

It is not difficult to calculate the possible profit. 1 square meter allows you to grow 60 seedlings in bags. On one hundred square meters (paths for passages are taken into account) you can grow 4-4.5 thousand bushes. The cost of one seedling is, say, 0.5 dollars. Then from only one hundred square meters you can get 2000-2250 dollars; from ten acres - ten times more. And that’s much better, but it’s still not $800,000.

What documents are needed to open your own farm?

To register a business in the organizational and legal field, you will need to register with tax and pension funds. The best registration option is individual entrepreneur status. For this you will need documents:

• Passport and photocopy.
• Copy of TIN code.
• Receipt for payment of state duty.
• Notarized application for registration.

You also need to have a land lease agreement, employment contracts with staff and certificates for the equipment used.

Which OKVED code to indicate when registering a business growing shaped vegetables and fruits

To register a business, you need to submit a special application to the tax office indicating the OKVED codes. The most suitable code is OKVED 01.13 - Growing vegetables, melons, root and tuber crops, mushrooms and truffles.

Which taxation system to choose for private farming

For business, it is most convenient to choose a simplified taxation system. The founders of peasant farms can use the unified agricultural tax, which is applied when the share of agricultural activity in the overall business is more than 70%.

Do I need permission?

To open a business growing vegetables and fruits of non-standard shape, you need the same permits that apply to growing conventional crops. This is a package of documents from the sanitary and epidemiological station and permission from fire inspectors. The business is not subject to special licensing.

And that is not all! Country business can be much more profitable

We only considered 2 cultures, but there are many more of them. Let's take black currants, for example. You don’t even need to analyze the market to say for sure: the demand for it is very good, and black currants are sold to the last berry, no matter how many you grow. Productivity directly depends on the variety, and on average ranges from 100 to 200 kilograms per hundred square meters. The cost of 1 kilogram is 3 dollars. It's easy to calculate the rest. However, this is not the point. It is much more profitable and easier to grow blackcurrant seedlings, and here’s why:

1. From one hundred square meters you can get 4-5 thousand blackcurrant seedlings (this can be found in any reference book on growing seedlings);
2. From ten acres you can get 40-50 thousand seedlings (average 45 thousand);
3. The cost of one seedling is (!) 1-2 dollars (as you sell it);
4. As a result, the profit from 10 acres can amount to 45,000-90,000 thousand dollars
   .

One can only dream of such earnings. At the same time, you do not need to invest a lot of money in this business, and this is a distinctive advantage. In this case, there can only be one problem - implementation

.

Cottage for rent

Attachments:

10 thousand rubles

The simplest and most obvious business idea is to rent out a summer house. You can provide a house for daily rent or find a client who will live there for a long time. This service will be of interest to city dwellers who like to relax in the countryside, but do not have their own dacha; tourists who come to live in the fresh air; companies looking for a cozy place in nature to hold a corporate event, etc.

If the dacha is heated, then it can generate income not only in the summer. In winter, country houses are rented out during the January holidays. So if your dacha is located in a picturesque place, then you are in luck.

You can search for clients yourself through online advertisements or entrust this task to a real estate company. To implement this idea, investments are practically not needed. Still, they can be useful in preparing a house for rent and finding an order. But as for profit, renting a summer house for a day averages 2,500 rubles. And the monthly rent can be 20-50 thousand, depending on the conditions offered and the region.

On holidays the price tag is usually raised. And in order to increase profits, they offer additional services to guests: organizing fishing trips, barbecues, saunas, etc.

Methods of selling products

There are several ways to sell the seedlings you have grown:

1. Wholesale sales. In this case, you need to reduce the price, and significantly;
2. Give it away for sale, losing only 10-15 percent of the possible profit;
3. Grow currants in bags and sell them yourself. In this case, the implementation period is extended from the beginning of spring to the end of autumn. These seedlings will be sold best in the summer, during the ripening period of black currants.

Additionally, you can sell the currant berries themselves, which, if you do everything correctly, will be very large. The buyer will definitely not pass by these.

To grow seedlings you will definitely need cuttings. You need to take them from the mother plant - this is a currant bush, which is intended exclusively for obtaining cuttings. They need to be planted densely - about 10-15 per square meter. On one bush you can grow about 10 powerful shoots, which are cut into cuttings in the fall. From one shoot you can get 5 cuttings, from a bush - 50. These 50 cuttings will turn into seedlings in the future. From one square meter you can get about 500-750 cuttings. It is easy to calculate exactly how many queen plant bushes need to be planted in order to obtain the required number of cuttings for growing seedlings. Most often (and this is more convenient), queen cells are planted in 1-2-3 rows around the perimeter. On average, 12 bushes are placed on 1 square meter, which implies obtaining 600 cuttings from 1 square meter.

Investments

As a business, growing vegetables all year round requires significant investment in preparing the production base. The entrepreneur also needs to register his company, clear the site for construction, connect the greenhouse to utility networks, ensure the company has a presence on the Internet and purchase various consumables. It is advisable to have an additional financial reserve to compensate for current costs, since the business owner will be able to make a profit only after the sale of the first harvest.

Investments

At the beginning of each production cycle, the farmer must prepare or purchase greenhouse soil, grow or order seedlings from suppliers, and purchase fertilizers. In addition, in the process of work, he will have to regularly replenish fuel supplies, pay for electricity and the services of transport companies, and also bear the costs associated with issuing certificates for vegetables.

The dacha business promises even more money, and it’s true!

You can earn even more from grapes. The bottom line is that the cost of grape seedlings is approximately several times higher than the cost of currant seedlings

(1.5-2 times), but from one hundred square meters of soil you can get exactly the same number of seedlings - 4-5 thousand.
Accordingly, you can earn 1.5-2 times more (about 90-180 thousand dollars
).

This income is already fantastic and almost unrealistic. Of course, it is possible to grow such a quantity, but to implement it is not. The reason for this is great competition. At the moment, only the lazy do not sell grape seedlings, so problems may arise with the sale of such a number of seedlings. However, such a business can only be implemented in those regions where, thanks to climate warming, people have begun to pay attention to the emerging opportunity to grow grapes in their summer cottages. These are mainly the northern regions of Ukraine and almost the entire central zone of Russia, including Moscow. Now it is warm enough in this zone, which allows even late grape varieties to fully ripen, and this causes a great demand for seedlings.

To grow seedlings, you do not need to prepare special bushes for cuttings. About 100 cuttings can be prepared from just one mature grape, because anyway, about 90% of the vine is pruned in the fall. This vine will successfully take cuttings. In addition, grape berries can be sold if there are a lot of them.

Growing flowers in a greenhouse

Attachments:

from 150 thousand rubles

Many gardeners who grow flowers in their dachas are thinking about making money from their hobby. Business to make money on flowers is one of the best. There is always a demand for flowers, and during the holidays it increases. In the summer, you can look forward to school holidays (last bell, graduation) and weddings.

Most often, cut roses are grown in greenhouse conditions. You can grow flowers in open ground, but then the period when you can get a harvest will be shortened, and you won’t earn much from it.

Organizing such a business in your summer cottage will not be difficult. A small area will be required to accommodate a heated and illuminated greenhouse, as well as good planting material and a wholesale base that buys flowers. A description of the business on a larger scale can be found here.

Earning money from science fiction - EVEN MORE!

Theoretically, a dacha business can bring even more money, but in practice this is almost impossible to do due to the large amount of work that will have to be done. You will definitely need help, but this option is worth considering.

We are talking about clematis culture

.
They can be grown from cuttings in plastic bags and a closed root system. They are sold almost all year round, with the exception of winter. On one square meter you can grow 300 seedlings; on a hundred square meters - 20,000 (including space for paths); not 10 acres - 200,000. The price of one seedling is 4 dollars (on average), respectively, the cost of 200,000 pieces will be 800,000 dollars
. The amount is fantastic, but theoretically it is possible to get such a profit.

Clematis cuttings are obtained from mother bushes, which need to be planted thicker. 500 cuttings are obtained from one bush, so you can easily calculate how many bushes you need to plant in order to grow the required number of cuttings.

How to sell your products? Access to large markets

Trade is a separate topic. We began selling our first greens at a spontaneous market near a shopping center, where we did not require any documents and there was no payment for a trading space.

When the range began to expand, a full-fledged counter with the necessary equipment was needed. It was decided to move to the collective farm market, but the problem was the lack of good trading places. I had to get up at 4 in the morning to go to the market and take a place, while trading began at 7. Three hours of wasting time did not suit us, but at that moment it was impossible to change anything.

This went on for a year, we became familiar in the same place, we were known by the market administration, which bought vegetables from us, and we agreed with one of the administrators that for a small increase in payment for the place in his favor, they would not move us and would not have to More traveling this early will keep him busy. Thus, we had our own permanent outlet, people came purposefully to us.

Agricultural market.

The idea of ​​selling greens to cafes and restaurants came to us quite a long time ago. More than one catering company was called, but no one wanted to cooperate with unknown suppliers. We can say that the appearance of our first permanent buyer - a cook from a cafe - was a happy accident. He could not find high-quality mint in large quantities and bought it from us, since it was from a greenhouse and had grown quite large.

So, does a business in a summer cottage promise profit?

As you can see, with only 10 acres of free land in your dacha, you can create a profitable business that will provide you for life. Even if you only have 2 free acres, then by planting them entirely with currant seedlings, you can get about 10-20 thousand dollars.

Of course, you can grow other crops that, in your opinion, will allow you to earn much more money.
To do this, you will have to arm yourself with the appropriate reference books and market prices in order to be able to determine possible income. However, here you will have to experiment. Share:

Garden landscape

Attachments:

from 20 thousand rubles

Making money from landscape design is a fairly current business idea. Many summer residents strive to equip their plot. But not everyone can bring their ideas to life. Therefore, with the right abilities, you can make money by creating mini-ponds, laying paths, etc. To carry out this work, you will need construction tools and equipment. You will have to spend about 20 thousand rubles on this. The business requires minimal costs and can pay for itself from the first order.
