The most profitable types of business in rural areas. What to do in the village to earn money

If you adhere to the idea that a business in the village is not promising, and the profit that it can bring is extremely small, then you are not sufficiently aware of the issue and do not have information about real resources and opportunities for expanding entrepreneurial activity. Of course, you won’t be able to immediately reach a decent level of income - it will take a lot of time and effort to implement a business idea from scratch, but in the end everything will pay off.

So, the main advantages of starting a business in rural areas

Availability of space. A private country house, a garage and a garden plot adjacent to it is an excellent opportunity for organizing any enterprise. You can arrange a small workshop in your home without fear that the noise will disturb the neighbors, arrange a warehouse for finished products right in your yard, and so on. The entire area is completely at your disposal.

Availability of resources. The land itself, on which you can grow vegetables and fruits, breed animals and engage in many other activities, is in itself a scarce resource for an urban person, and there is still all kinds of agricultural equipment that you can’t get anywhere except in the village.

What business to start from scratch in a village

We have named the advantages, now it's time to find out exactly how they are best used. Here are several proven ideas that will help a novice entrepreneur start his own business in a rural area.

Bird breeding

People really enjoy buying household products, so you won't be short of customers. Chickens, geese and other birds are unpretentious in food and do not require special care, although you must still have certain knowledge. It is best to sell finished products (meat and eggs) on the market on your own, or by hiring a distributor. As an option, you can trade live chicks, but they are much more problematic during transportation.

Conservation

This type of activity can be engaged in urban conditions, but in the village this enterprise is much more profitable. Firstly, because of the opportunity to grow your own food for cooking. Secondly, because there will be much more space and suitable conditions for storing them. In almost any private country house there is a cellar where you can put ready-made preservation so that it does not deteriorate.

Eco-friendly products

If you have ever been in a grocery market, whether as a buyer or a seller, you have probably seen people who meticulously ask merchants standing at the counters: “Are your potatoes greenhouse?”, “Have you used chemicals for fertilizer? ” and stuff like that. People are very worried about their own health and the possible harm that low-quality food can cause. So why not give them what they ask for by growing only natural things?

Car service

In villages, the automobile issue is very acute. Due to the lack of service centers and auto repair shops, owners of “iron horses” have to delve into the insides of their cars, and if their knowledge of this is mediocre, they have no choice but to tow the car to the nearest large populated area. You will be able to help yourself and others if you open a mini-auto repair shop in your garage, where the fullest range of services will be provided. And please note that you will need to deal not only with passenger cars, but also with tractors and other large agricultural equipment.

Seasonal earnings in rural areas

The business ideas published below are very profitable, but due to their characteristics, they are seasonally limited. That is, you will receive income only for a certain period of time, and for the remaining time you will sit without work or look for another type of employment.

Fishing tours

This business is actively practiced by residents of villages located near rivers, lakes and other large bodies of water. The idea is that you take on the role of a guide who will take a rich city dweller to “fishy” feeding places, for which he will pay you money. Earnings, as I said earlier, are purely seasonal - your services will be most in demand in late spring and summer, although sometimes clients show interest in winter ice fishing.

Agritourism

It sounds strange, but some people are even willing to pay to experience all the delights of rural life. You provide them with housing, give them work in the garden, in the garden, with animals or something else, and they also pay you for it. Now in the West, especially in the United States, this phenomenon is very popular - rural residents are even building mini-farms where visiting tourists can rent rooms with all the amenities.

Growing strawberries

Although it grows virtually all year round, if the appropriate temperature conditions are observed, it is in greatest demand exclusively in the winter. On the other hand, strawberries are considered one of the most profitable field crops. That is, the income from one “strawberry” acre will be much higher than if other plants grew in the same space. Demand exceeds supply many times over, so even if you don’t manage to grow a really high-quality product, wholesale and retail buyers will take it up very quickly.

Reviews

Now the village is going through hard times, so you won’t be able to find consumers for your goods and services there (there simply won’t be enough customers to whom you can offer them). On the other hand, it is very profitable to produce your goods in the village and transport them to the city for sale, especially if these are household products - vegetables, fruits, animal meat. Also, city residents are buying knitted, wickerwork, and wooden dishes with a bang.

The idea of ​​a car service is also very interesting. If you put a car service station / car wash / gas station (3x1) on a busy highway passing through your village, you can catch additional customers.

I would like to add a few more ideas:

1. Pond fish farming (this business is quite expensive to open, but it pays off quickly and, as they say, “with interest”);
2. Opening a manufactured goods store (as a rule, there are no problems with grocery stores in rural areas, but manufactured goods, even the most necessary ones (such as a light bulb), sometimes force a villager to go to the city. If you help him, you can earn money!);
3. “Wood-burning sauna” is environmentally friendly, therefore popular among city dwellers and not cheap, why not allocate part of your rather small yard for it?
4. Suitable for those who live on the river. Opening of a ferry or private pontoon bridge.
5. Well, one more idea for those who live on the banks of the river, which I wrote about in a separate topic. Renting a dredging machine, which will allow you, firstly, to make money on a co-contract to deepen a river in the area of ​​your village (as a rule, all rivers in Russia sometimes need dredging) and, secondly, to extract sand from the same river bottom sale.

From my own experience, I know that the most developed areas in rural areas are the cultivation of agricultural products (vegetables and fruits), as well as livestock and poultry farming. They sell it either to suppliers who travel around the villages, or they themselves transport the goods to the nearby market.

I live in an agricultural town, and we have one person who made a fortune in just 5 years from pork. No kidding, but he only has one car worth about $35,000. Something like this, he buys little piglets, raises them, and then sells the meat. Of course, I described a short version, everything is more complicated there, but the principle is the same.

If you live in the rural outback, you can make good money on the needs of some wealthy city residents for environmentally friendly products. And the trick here is precisely that you don’t produce a lot of potatoes or a lot of piglets using the “conveyor method” - not much product is grown, but it is environmentally friendly, and therefore expensive - the profit is big!

It seems to me that a very good business, if you have land, would be the construction of a greenhouse. The price of vegetables in winter is very high. As far as I know, this will not require large expenses, and at first you can not hire workers, but do all the work yourself.

Well, yes, I agree, growing vegetables in greenhouses can bring quite good money. Well, there are a lot of difficulties here, and you need to work a lot, and then stand there and sell it, because if you sell vegetables in bulk, you will sell them for next to nothing.

In addition to vegetables, roses can be grown in the greenhouse. The profitability of growing flowers reaches 300%. Roses are always on sale, regardless of the season. The most important thing in this business is to establish a sales market

From floriculture - you can try not only roses, but also something more exotic, for example, orchids - there are even more opportunities for earning money!
But still, flowers should be considered as an auxiliary activity that complements the main business in the countryside

The idea is good, but much more troublesome than the mass cultivation of vegetables. It will take longer to develop clients, since the price is higher and there should be a guarantee of quality. It would be a good idea to develop two directions in parallel - conventional and environmentally friendly

It is unlikely that it will be possible to develop both equally well, because the technology of mass production and “production for oneself” are different. And the time costs for these production methods are very different!

By the way, some types of vegetables go well with some types of flowers, that is, if you have a greenhouse of sufficient size (well, at least 2-3 acres in area), it is quite possible to combine the cultivation of food and ornamental plants!

No, this is somehow not right. I lived in the countryside for a long time and saw my mother growing vegetables. If, for example, cucumbers and tomatoes grow, then there are no flowers nearby, since flowers are weeds, and if weeds grow nearby, then they take up quite a lot of the moisture that the vegetables need.

In order to start a business in rural areas, you will need at least shovels, rakes, hoes, but you won’t be digging the ground with your hands. But you can do it without significant investments. If you live in a black soil zone, you can hire a tractor once a year, they will dig everything up for you, and you can sow potatoes, carrots, and beets yourself. And to expand, you will take money from your profits, but it is better to initially take good equipment on credit or in installments.

Breeding livestock and poultry, selling chickens is booming from the end of April to the end of July, I now sell them myself and hatch them in an incubator. The grocery store is a cool business in the village, but it has its own specifics...basically, the entire month they will buy only on credit against the record, until payday or when the livestock is sold, so the turnover of money is delayed. But there are also advantages, regarding the car service, a friend of mine opened a car service in a remote village, it has been thriving for about 10 years, but he doesn’t plow in it himself, but hired and trained the village guys. I was looking for clients from the city, now they come on their own. Because value for money. There is another option, but it requires a good investment, this is breeding and selling pure breed poultry, like a nursery. But the bird is expensive, you will have to travel all over Russia for it, and even carry it from Europe. But this is a separate topic.

Valera,
Have you tried to transport your products to the city? Even for renting to stores, if you don’t have time to sell it yourself. As for hatching in an incubator, tell us in more detail and how much space is needed, I have a plot of only 4 acres and a dog, a cat, and two cages with rabbits.

In early spring in greenhouses you can sow seedlings of various vegetables, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, seedlings, cucumbers and at the height of planting, sell the seedlings to people, it is very profitable and there are no special costs, then grow vegetables in the same greenhouse for yourself and for sale.

I agree, it’s a profitable idea, but it’s a short-term idea. You can sell the seedlings for a couple of months, and that’s it. And these two months are not worth opening an individual entrepreneur and looking for a place on the market, because the seedlings need to be sold somewhere.

To create a business in rural areas from scratch, you need to analyze demand. For example, a car service center will not go to every rural area, since there are villages where there are very few cars and such a business will be idle. A good business idea is computer repair, since villagers are already developing and acquiring computers, but have no idea how to work with software. You can repair computers and install various software; in my opinion, this is a great idea for rural areas.

galina,
Yes, you are right, food is expensive now and growing it is very profitable. We grow a little for ourselves so that our daughter can eat everything fresh, and I can say that the budget savings are significant, since we live in the city and have a small plot.

For those who live in the village, I think you can grow a lot of things, depending on the area, if there is a lot of land, then all the vegetables and corn and watermelons, everything will be in demand.

Owning your own business is an opportunity to work for yourself and not depend on anyone, do what you love and make a good profit. Many people dream about this. And even if you live in a village, you shouldn’t give up on this dream, thinking that you won’t be able to realize what you want. “How to open a business in rural areas and what kind of business?” - this is a question that many residents of villages and small settlements ask themselves. Of course, a village cannot provide the same prospects for business development as a city, however, there are business ideas (and there are many of them) that can be successfully implemented in the village. Let's talk about them.

The most profitable and profitable business in the village

Bee breeding

This is a business for those who are ready for serious and hard work on their apiary. If you have a suitable plot of land, you need to purchase equipment - a hive and other equipment, and the bees themselves for breeding. Before that, read a lot of manuals about beekeeping. This matter is quite delicate and requires serious preparation.

As a result of a successful start of a business, you can get products that will be your product: honey, beeswax and poison, pollen, royal jelly. All this is in considerable demand. There is no need to talk about the honey itself - everything is clear here, and other products are now especially in demand in cosmetology and medicine. .

Store opening

In small villages and hamlets there are often only one or two stores for the entire settlement. And despite the small number of residents, they are not always able to satisfy the needs of everyone. In such cases, it will be an excellent solution. In rural conditions (especially if it is significantly remote from a big city), it may be difficult to arrange daily supplies of food. This difficulty can be overcome by building a small, but properly equipped warehouse at the store. Products stored in a warehouse, and not just in a store, will be suitable for sale a little longer.

You can also purchase rural products - vegetables, fruits, berries, chicken eggs, milk, etc. - from the residents of your village and nearby villages themselves.

Growing plants

The village has all the conditions to grow various plants and care for them properly. Many people (and those who live in villages, especially), taking care of their health, often resort to the method of herbal medicine, that is, herbal treatment. There is probably not a single disease that does not include herbal treatment among the options for getting rid of it. The most common of them are: ginseng, chamomile, St. John's wort, calendula, sage, yarrow.

In addition to medicinal herbs, it is profitable to grow edible herbs for sale: dill, parsley, onions, celery, etc. If space and skills allow, you can also grow indoor flowers. The grown products will again be sold to the village residents themselves, and with large volumes of goods, it can be exported to the city and sold there.

Ostrich farm

Of course, one of the most profitable businesses in the village is animal breeding. Namely, such exotic ones as ostriches. You will need to invest a serious amount of money in opening a coward farm - about 150 thousand dollars. This amount may be prohibitive for a novice entrepreneur, so such a business is usually opened by those who have already earned decent money in another field and are now ready to invest it in an ostrich farm.

Such a business can confidently be called waste-free: in addition to ostrich meat and eggs, you can even make money on feathers, eggshells and ostrich fat, which are also quite valuable products.

Production of milk and dairy products

Almost every family in the villages has its own animal farm. And you are most likely no exception. If you have your own cows, then you can create a big business in the production and sale of milk and its derivatives. If you plan to sell products only to your neighbors in the village, then you can cope with the entire production process yourself. But if you are aiming at a larger scale (importing products into the city and delivering them to stores), then you can’t do without a factory, albeit a small one. The factory must be equipped with various equipment: for processing and pasteurizing milk, for making sour cream, butter, cheese, cottage cheese, etc.

You are unlikely to be able to supply large stores and supermarkets in the city with such products (since they purchase goods in huge quantities and work only with large manufacturers), but you can easily try to establish contact with small shops and kiosks. Dairy products will never lose their value, so a business in its production is initially a good idea.

Opening an entertainment facility for young people

The older generation of people living in villages are more busy with farming than relaxing, but young people simply need to have fun. However, the idea of ​​opening an entertainment establishment will be relevant only in those settlements where the population is not entirely small. In villages with a thousand inhabitants, such an idea should not be considered. And if there are several thousand of them, ideally 10-15, then you can safely start.

What can you open? There are several options: , cafe with karaoke. Of course, it is worth understanding that such a business must be “tailored” specifically for a specific target audience. If you fail with this, you will inevitably fail, since they are unlikely to come to your establishment from other villages, and even more so from the city. Carefully research residents' preferences and their willingness to pay for the service you offer.

When calculating the optimal investment amount, also take into account the solvency of the target audience. There is no point in building an expensive club, even if you have a large budget, if the villagers simply cannot pay for the service of visiting it.

Village tourism

This business line has not yet gained momentum, but according to experts, it has every chance of becoming a “hit.” There are many people in cities who are tired of the city bustle and hassle, and want to indulge in nature, fresh air and other delights that life in the village provides, at least for a weekend. A business can be built on this desire of city residents. What is required of you: the presence of a large house, good mobile communications on its territory and in the surrounding area, various places for leisure activities (a lake or river next to the house, a bathhouse attached to the house, your own farm).

If you can comfortably accommodate about ten tourists in your home and provide them with options for a pleasant pastime, then you can start thinking about this business idea now! Village tourism, although good in its essence, has some nuances for an entrepreneur. Firstly, this is still a seasonal business. Most often, people have a desire to immerse themselves in village life during the warm and hot seasons. Secondly, it may be difficult to find clients. You should conduct a significant advertising campaign in the nearest major city, praising all the benefits and recreational opportunities that you are ready to provide to your clients.

Production and sale of flour

Flour is an indispensable product in the kitchen of every housewife. And just as in the case of dairy products, flour will always be in demand, since people have not yet figured out what can replace it. Flour is made from various crops: wheat, rice, corn, millet, buckwheat, barley and oats. If you are ready to grow these crops (or are already doing so), then this business option is for you. The production of different types of flour may have its own nuances, but in general the technological process is as follows: cleaning and peeling grains, grinding, sifting the resulting flour, packaging in containers.

The set of necessary equipment consists of only three units - a grain cleaning apparatus, a mill, and a packaging machine. Sales of products should be directed to shops (both rural and urban) and various canteens, for which flour is the main component of dishes. By establishing good connections with such establishments, you will be able to supply them with flour in large quantities, which will be beneficial for both you and them.

Breeding crayfish

We have already written and talked about the fact that for such a business you definitely need the right body of water. If you live in a village and have your own personal plot, then creating a suitable reservoir for breeding crayfish will not be difficult for you. Crayfish are quite unpretentious in food, and caring for them is not difficult. You just need to study how they grow and reproduce, and carefully ensure that they are comfortable in the created environment. To equip a reservoir, you will need special pieces of equipment that will make the entire process of doing business easier for you.

The advantage of the crayfish business is that the final product is in great demand, and finding clients will not be difficult. The downside is that this business is seasonal.

Sawmill and woodworking

The business idea is to process forests and turn wood into materials for construction. It is necessary to build a woodworking shop, providing it with the necessary equipment. At the output of production, you will be able to receive boards, glazing beads, beams and sell it all to construction companies or individuals involved in construction. This business cannot be called highly profitable, although your income will depend solely on how many regular customers you find. Therefore, it is still possible to make good money in such a business.

Rabbit breeding

The undoubted advantage of breeding rabbits, and not any other animals, is the high ability of these animals to reproduce. Rabbit science has recently experienced a lull, but now this field of activity has begun to develop sharply. New technologies and techniques for breeding rabbits began to appear, the study of which is available to everyone. One of the new technologies, for example, is to raise a 5-kilogram rabbit in just four months, while obtaining high quality meat and fur. Without going into details, let’s just say that the main essence of this technique is to frequently feed the cubs with the rabbit’s mother’s milk, while the portions of one milk intake are reduced.

For breeding rabbits, a special building is used, consisting of several shelves and tiers. By connecting several of these buildings together, you will create an entire rabbit farm. Rabbit meat and the fur that these animals wear is your product, from the sale of which you can make a profit, and quite a good one at that.

Production of frozen fruits and vegetables

Frozen fruits and vegetables are especially popular because they do not lose their beneficial properties when frozen and can be eaten all year round. Almost all village residents have their own plots of land where they grow food. If you expand your site to a large size and acquire high-quality freezing equipment, you can create an excellent current business.

Here is a brief diagram of the process of this business from start to finish: growing vegetables, fruits, berries; harvesting; selection of quality products; their air and water cleaning; sorting products by size; blanching; shock freezing at -30° C; packaging of finished products and transportation to distribution points. The finished product must be stored at a temperature of -18° C, and then it will not lose its taste and beneficial qualities.

Describing mainly business ideas that are mainly suitable for implementation by urban residents, and business projects with large financial investments, we have undeservedly remained silent about what kind of business can be opened in the countryside. Today we decided to correct this omission and provide readers with an overview of the most popular ideas for profitable business in rural areas.

Moreover, it should immediately be noted that business in rural areas is not only business in agriculture. As a rule, such projects also require considerable expenses at the start. Take, for example, carp farming, quail farming, or truffle farming.

Well, one wonders, where do villagers, who receive at best up to 20 thousand rubles in wages, get the money to implement such business ideas? Therefore, in today’s review, we tried to collect ideas describing rural business that anyone can actually implement.

Certainly, most of these projects are tied to a specific season - most often summer, however, during this time you can easily earn enough so that you don’t have to think about money all winter and look for options to expand your business. So, what kind of business can you open in rural areas with the most minimal investments, making do with literally what you have “at hand”?

The village and village are now on the verge of extinction - this is no longer a secret to anyone. But does the well-being of villagers really depend on the federal budget? Is it really impossible to organize your most profitable and most profitable business in agriculture in the countryside? It is possible, and now we will prove it to you!

The main resource that almost any villager has is land.. Tens, hundreds, thousands of empty hectares of land - everyone chooses the area they need to start a business. And you can start with the usual "six acres."

First, you need to decide which products are most in demand in your region. Here you need to understand that, for example, growing potatoes on such a scale that would allow, after selling all the grown products, to live for a year on this money until the next harvest, and plus this would also allow you to gradually develop your business in agriculture, will require significant expenses for the rental of special equipment, and/or payment of hired workers, premises for storing products, etc.

For several years now, there has been an increased interest among urban residents in rural real estate. Land plots and old houses are sold literally for next to nothing. For example, a fairly strong house, quite suitable for living, can be purchased in the central part of Russia for 250-350 thousand rubles. City residents take advantage of this, buying such buildings to use as their summer cottages.

Almost every village has several (and even several dozen) such country houses. But the problem is that with the end of the summer season and the departure of vacationers to the city, these dachas become either targets for theft or a haven for homeless vagabonds. Many owners of country real estate face similar unpleasant moments.

The essence of the described business idea is in offering dacha owners services to protect their property. We think that few people will refuse to pay 1.5-2 thousand rubles for the safety of their property. Such “dacha watchmen” are widely popular in the Ryazan region, Tambov region, Moscow region, and some other regions of the central part of the country. 5 objects for such a watchman will bring at least 10 thousand rubles per month. This work does not involve any particular difficulties. And in the summer you can implement any other of the business ideas described above.

Preparation and sale of bath brooms

Of course, it is best to organize a business in the countryside that is related specifically to rural topics - breeding cows, growing porcini mushrooms, breeding dairy goats. Agree, you can’t do such a business in the city!

Therefore, before starting anything, it is worthwhile to thoroughly work out several possible options for various business ideas. One of them could be the preparation and sale of bathhouse brooms and/or related bath accessories - wooden tubs, ladles, buckets, carved signs with folk proverbs about the bathhouse, which are often hung at the entrance, etc.

The “hottest” time for harvesting bath brooms is early to mid-July. The exact time depends on the weather and the condition of the leaves on the trees in question. More accurate information can be found on Internet portals dedicated to bathing topics.

Why is this time “hot”? Because only 7-9 days are allotted for the preparation of brooms, and during this time you need to do so much so that you can sell your goods before spring. Based on our own experience, we can confidently say that one person can prepare up to 100 brooms in one day.

The Internet today is replete with various new ways of earning money and business ideas, but for various reasons there are no more real businessmen. Often this happens because people do not even know where to start developing their idea, how to prepare the foundation for it and start implementing it. But sometimes people get the situation that is most favorable for them to, but they don’t even know about it. So, you can easily get a small business in the garage or make money with your own hands. And even living far from the city, you can organize your own enterprise and make very good money on it. It is also worth noting that the villagers are opening up huge prospects for earning, inaccessible to urban people. It is curious that there are a huge number of ideas and their varieties.

What kind of business can you start from scratch in rural areas?

Many people who are far from rural and village life believe that all that can be done in the village is breeding livestock and getting food from it. No matter how it is. Agriculture, of course, comes first. However, it is not necessary to perceive it only as a means by which you can make preparations for the winter or feed yourself with milk, eggs and seasonal vegetables and fruits. And if you look at all this from an entrepreneurial point of view, you can find many prospects for yourself.

Businesses in rural areas can be organized in a variety of ways. Starting from the sale of vegetables and fruits, ending with the production of outlandish and tourism. At the same time, you can cook not only that, but also make certain products from it. The same goes for meat and milk. You can sell the meat itself as such, or you can organize a workshop for the production of sausages. You can sell milk, or you can make butter and cottage cheese from it. And so with any product from farming and farming in the village.

Business ideas for villages and villages

You can find many more business ideas for villages and towns than for cities. And, best of all, you can easily open your own business, already having everything you need at hand.

Poultry breeding

Some people in villages rely on the exotic and can even engage in . But keeping simpler birds will be no less profitable. For example, geese, ducks and turkeys. Now, in the days of chicken (as the most common poultry), for many people, baking a goose in the oven will be a novelty. With all this, some poultry do not require special care. The main thing is to monitor her health and regularly invite a veterinarian for examination. Of course, each type of bird requires certain vitamins, food and rooms of different sizes and temperatures.

Advice: Try breeding several types of birds. For example, geese, chickens, ducks and turkeys. And start with small quantities. Two or three pairs of each type will be enough. This will make it easier for you to get used to caring for them, and it will be easier to understand how to breed them and make money from it.

Butter production

Butter is a product that will probably never disappear from store shelves and will not lose its popularity. It is customary to not only eat this oil, but also make desserts, baked goods, cook with it, and so on. In this case, butter is divided into different categories:

• peasant (72.5% fat);
• amateur (75%);
• sandwich (61.5%);
• melted (99%);
• Vologda (82.5%);
• chocolate (61.5%).

Each type of oil has its own preparation technology and its own cost. But no matter what you decide to produce (or better yet, several varieties), in addition to cow’s milk, you will need some equipment that will cost you two to three hundred thousand rubles:

• separator;
• filling machine;
• oil formers;
• pasteurization bath;
• vacuum installation.

Among other things, you need to remember the storage conditions of the product. And finding a sales market is as easy as shelling pears - the main thing is to make good advertising.

Fish farming

Fish farming is a rather capacious concept. After all, in rural conditions you can fish both inexpensive and elite fish. A significant difference will be in the conditions of detention. For elite fish, care is always more expensive than for cheap ones. You will have to make the pond yourself even in rural areas. After all, it will have its own temperature and conditions for each type of fish. You can create them for several types of fish; for almost each you will find markets.

Advice: It is not at all necessary to breed only fish, even expensive ones. You can, for example, do the same with crayfish too.

It is worth remembering that the reservoir must be of a certain size, and the fish must eat the right food and undergo preventative measures. You will need to monitor the general condition and well-being of your swimming charges every day.

Growing vegetables, berries, fruits

Perhaps the simplest business idea that you can come up with in a village or village. Almost every villager gardens. But few people know how to do this on an industrial scale, and therefore limit themselves to selling only the surplus of their harvest. However, if you know how to grow for yourself, it will be enough to add a couple of touches to ensure that there are many times more products and they are of certain quality standards. First, of course, you will need large areas. Secondly, it will be necessary to create certain conditions, in particular, to build new greenhouses, establish a soil irrigation system in them, and fertilize the foundations. You will also need to choose the most profitable and less demanding varieties. If you decide to work not only in the summer, but all year round, then your greenhouses should be heated with the installation of microclimatic systems.

Production of honey and other bee products

This type of farming will be profitable if there are at least 100 bee families in your apiary. Honey itself is a rather expensive and unique product. In addition, today even on supermarket shelves you can find many useful and fashionable beekeeping products, many of which are often used in folk medicine. It is important to note that most people prefer to buy honey not in stores, but directly from farms or from familiar beekeepers. This is explained by the fact that in sales networks you can run into counterfeit honey or simply a low-quality, diluted or old product. Therefore, you have a chance to take advantage of word of mouth. In addition, you will need to decide whether you will supply the products in bulk as raw materials or whether you want to produce them under your own name. In both cases, you will have to run around with different pieces of paper in order to have permission to produce and sell. Only releasing on your own behalf will be more profitable, but advertising and huge costs for special equipment and premises are required.

Advice: At first, a novice entrepreneur should not work independently. It will be much more convenient, profitable and profitable to join the community of beekeepers, so that one person promotes the product of all farmers. Later, you will be able to decide how you will work independently: as the head of an enterprise with your own name for products or as a supplier of raw materials.

Pig breeding

Pork is a very popular and tasty meat. In addition, with proper feeding of these animals, you will be able to care for them very economically, which will significantly increase your income. The first thing you need is warm and fairly spacious rooms with a bedding of straw, dust and sawdust. The territory and premises can be rented, since a plot of land like a dacha will not be enough for you. It will be necessary to determine production volumes and purchase piglets for breeding. Moreover, 10 future sows per boar will be quite enough. To begin with, after farrowing, you can sell a few piglets to your friends, because they are in great demand in the village, people want to raise animals for themselves. And for professional breeding you will need staff and certain feed supplies, which must be calculated separately for young and adult pigs. Depending on the volume and type of farm, your costs will pay off in about 2-3 years.

Feed production

If you are not going to breed birds and animals either for sale or for yourself, you can become a supplier of feed for them. This type of business is quite low-cost, but at the same time very profitable. Compound feed, depending on its purpose, is made from grain raw materials, meat and bone meal, fish meal and grass meal. Additional vitamins and minerals are also added there.

To produce compound feed, raw materials must be passed through several stages:

1. Grinding in a crusher.
2. Mixing crushed raw materials in the required quantities and proportions.
3. Granulation in the apparatus.
4. Packaging.

Finding a market for labor will not be difficult. Combined feeds are needed both by private small farms and farmsteads, and by large livestock and fish farms.

However, some urban types of business may well fit into the rural theme.

Business in a garage

Generally speaking, it is not at all necessary to deal only with rural affairs in the village. You may well try yourself as a copywriter, make money on your websites and network marketing.

Working on your car

With his own car, any man can organize a small taxi. However, this is not all that a car can be used for. Freight trucks can be used to transport goods for money. People build houses, for this they can bring building materials, sand, cement. In addition, you can help with moving and bring purchased furniture. Another interesting option that will not leave you with competitors: from the city you can transport various goods that are in short supply in villages. For smaller items and products, a passenger car is also suitable.

Advice: bringing various goods from the city is a rather original business, which, if the set of products is correctly selected, can bring good income.

Housing for rent

Equipment for small businesses at home in the village

Depending on what kind of enterprise you have in mind, you can either purchase equipment or build it yourself. In some cases and very often, men convert machines for one purpose into machines for a completely different purpose. You can use any boxes or jars to store various parts, nuts and nails. The most important thing is that there is order everywhere and that everything you need is always at hand, and you don’t frantically look for where you put this or that tool.
