Maximum information content

We offer not abstract ideas, but specific information on the chosen earning option. Each article contains:

• Data about products and services that are the object of entrepreneurship.

• List of technical conditions and technologies for the successful implementation of the project.
• Approximate calculations of investments, profitability and payback.

We have presented business ideas for the village of various sizes. Animal breeding projects are a great option for setting up a profitable farming business. On a small personal plot, using the existing outbuildings or greenhouses, you can grow greens, strawberries or flowers all year round. Such a business in the country brings super profits in the winter. There are also ideas of intermediary activity (resale of grain, milk). We offer seasonal and year-round farming business options.

In addition to basic data (technology, conditions, calculations), our business ideas for settlements contain additional useful information. The articles present analytical assessments of experienced experts and businessmen. They reveal the nuances and secrets of successful work in the agricultural business. There are also recommendations on the acquisition of suitable equipment for the implementation of the project.

Choose the business topics that suit you. We are confident that with a serious approach to business, you will be able to receive a stable income with the help of our ideas.

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 a rural area

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 kind of business to do from scratch in the village

We have named the advantages, now it's time to find out exactly how they are best used. Here are some proven ideas that will help aspiring entrepreneurs start their own business in the countryside.

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 ability to independently grow 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.

Environmentally friendly products

If you have ever been at the grocery market, no matter whether as a buyer or seller, you have probably seen people who meticulously ask merchants standing at the counters: “Are your potatoes greenhouse?”, “Did you use chemicals for fertilizer? ” and everything 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?

car service

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

Seasonal earnings in the countryside

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 the remaining time will be unemployed or looking for another type of employment.

Fishing tours

This business is actively practiced by residents of villages located near rivers, lakes and other large water bodies. The idea is that you take on the role of a guide who will take a wealthy city dweller to "fish" baited 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 even build mini farms where visiting tourists can rent rooms with all 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 period. On the other hand, strawberries are ranked among the most profitable field crops. That is, the income from one “strawberry” weave will be much higher than if other plants grew in the same space. Demand greatly exceeds supply, so even if you can’t grow a really high-quality product, wholesale and retail buyers will sort it out 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 take them to the city for sale, especially if these are household products - vegetables, fruits, animal meat. Also, the city "with a bang" buy knitted, wickerwork, wooden utensils.

The idea of ​​a car service is also very interesting. If you put a car service / 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, “more than”);
2. Opening a manufactured goods store (as a rule, there are no problems with “products” in the countryside, 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. “Bath on wood” is environmentally friendly, therefore, popular among the townspeople and not cheap, why not allocate a part of your 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, firstly, make money on a co-contract for deepening the river in the area of ​​\u200b\u200byour village (as a rule, all rivers in Russia sometimes need to be deepened) and, secondly, extraction of sand from the same river bottom on sale.

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

I live in an agricultural town, so we have one person who made a fortune in just 5 years on 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 citizens in environmentally friendly products. And the trick here is precisely that you do not produce a lot of potatoes or a lot of piglets using the "conveyor method" - there are few products grown, but they are environmentally friendly, and therefore expensive - the profit is big!

It seems to me that a very good business in the presence of land will 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 pretty good money. Well, there are a lot of difficulties here, and you need to work a lot, and even then stand it 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, complementary to the main business, an occupation in the countryside.

The idea is good, but much more troublesome than the mass cultivation of vegetables. Customers will need to be earned longer, since here the price is higher and there must be a guarantee of quality. It is not bad to develop two directions in parallel - conventional and environmentally friendly

It is hardly possible to develop two equally well, because the technology of mass production and “production for oneself” are different. And the time costs for these methods of production 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, it's kind of not right. I lived in the countryside for a long time and saw my mother grow vegetables. If, for example, cucumbers and tomatoes grow, then there were no flowers nearby, since flowers are weeds, and if weeds grow nearby, they take quite a lot of moisture that vegetables need.

In order to start a business in a rural area, you will need at least shovels, rakes, choppers, well, you won’t dig the ground with your hands. But you can do without significant investments. if you live in the black earth zone, you can hire a tractor once a year, they will dig everything for you, and you can sow potatoes, carrots, and beets yourself. And for expansion, 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 with a bang goes from the end of April to the end of July, I myself now trade them, I bring them out in an incubator. a grocery store is a cool business in the village, but it has specifics ... basically, the whole month they will only buy on credit for an appointment, before salary or when the animals are sold, so the turnover of money is delayed. but it also has its advantages, regarding a car service, my friend opened a car service in a remote village, it has been flourishing for 10 years, but he himself does not plow in it, but hired and trained village guys. And I was looking for clients from the city, now they are going on their own. Because value for money. There is another option, but it requires good investments, this is the breeding and sale of birds of pure breeds, 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 already.

valera,
Have you tried to transport your products to the city? Even for delivery to stores, if there is no time to deal with the implementation on their own. And how to breed in an incubator, tell me in more detail and how much space you need, 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, eggplant, feathers, seedlings, cucumbers, and at the height of planting, sell 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, a profitable idea, but the idea is short-term. You can sell seedlings for a couple of months, and that's it. Yes, and these two months are not worth opening an individual entrepreneur and looking for a place on the market, because seedlings need to be sold somewhere.

To create a business in rural areas from scratch, you need to analyze the demand. For example, a car service 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, as the villagers are already developing and acquiring computers, but they 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 now expensive and it is very profitable to grow them. We grow a little for ourselves so that our daughter eats everything fresh, and I can say that the budget savings are significant, since we live in the city and we 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 vegetables and corn and watermelons, everything will be in demand.

Farming is traditional for the village. However, in line with the demand for domestic tourism and interest in rural "exotics", as well as with the desire of an increasing number of people for a healthy lifestyle, agritourism and the Lokavor restaurant business are becoming in demand. Each direction can bring a good income, if you approach the matter correctly.

Analysts say that in the Russian outback today there are many opportunities for those who closely follow the changes in the economy and politics. How, in an era of unprecedented sanctions from Russia's former foreign partners and the country's need for import substitution, how to build a profitable business in the countryside from scratch? Consider the features of the "historical moment" and some of the ideas that our compatriots are successfully implementing.

Why is it beneficial?

Today, more and more foreign investors are investing in the Russian agricultural sector. The essence of this trend was frankly expressed by the Thai businessman Dhanin Chearavanont (TOP-81 in the Forbes global ranking), who is actively developing the agricultural business in a number of regions of our country:

“Russia can feed the 3 billion people of Asia. There are very good opportunities in Russia, which the Russians still treat inattentively and underestimate them.”

What are these possibilities?

• The low level of competition allows you to choose almost any niche: from animal husbandry, poultry farming, beekeeping to your own production for processing farm products and opening a restaurant with a menu of organic products
• The high need of the state for import substitution makes it possible to count on long-term loans even for novice farmers who do not have a solid start-up capital
• Growth of healthy eating habits increases demand for wholesome, naturally grown fruits and vegetables, as well as organic poultry, quality meats and dairy products
• The desire of urban residents to change the situation and find new ways of low-budget relaxation from stress contributes to the development of a new direction in tourism - ecological.

Let's consider how our compatriots realize these opportunities.

Growing organic poultry

In 2015, in the village of Zelentsino, Vladimir Region, the Free Range business project was launched, the author of which was farmer Dmitry Klimov. He announced crowdfunding on the website of the farmer's cooperative LavkaLavka and raised 100,000 rubles for a poultry house. Today, Klimov sells up to 40% of his products through the shops of this cooperative. Prices match its quality. For example, 1 kg of a turkey costs 1,080 rubles, a thigh costs 1,490 rubles. per kg, meat of reared chickens - 675 rubles. per kg.

D. Klimov knows his regular customers literally by sight, as he delivers groceries to them every week at home. He also uses cooking shows in farm shops in Moscow to promote him, during which he demonstrates how delicious turkey in oyster sauce is and talks with gourmets about the virtues of barbary ducks.

D. Klimov “copied” the model of the “Free Range” project from the farms of Gascony, where he went for experience. The cost of production can be represented in the form of a diagram (see Fig. 1)

The sales margin is 15-18%, the farmer expects to receive additional income from cooking. For example, together with a partner, he plans to produce foie gras near Moscow (at a cost of 3-4 thousand rubles per kg). For this, 120 goose and chicken eggs and samples of special varieties of corn for fattening poultry have already been purchased in Gascony.

However, business ideas in rural areas are not limited to farming. Here is an example of another direction.

Village restaurant

120 km from Moscow, in the village of Mitino, there is a unique place - the farm restaurant "Mark and Lev" (opened in 2014). Its founder Alexander Goncharov took as a model the popular Swedish restaurant Faviken, located 600 km from Stockholm and invariably attracting hundreds of lovers of delicious and healthy food.

"Mark and Lev" is a restaurant of the Lokavor type, that is, the menu in it consists of products produced by farms within a radius of up to 150 km from it. It is small, designed for 30 seats in the hall and 20 on the veranda. The average check is 1,500 - 1,800 rubles.

The project did not start to bring profit immediately: it took time to attract the attention of not only potential visitors, but also partners - farmers, who at first did not trust the city entrepreneur too much.

Today, Goncharov plans to rebuild the Farm for Life settlement, open a farmers' market and a hub.

From colleagues from the United States, he "peeped" the idea of ​​​​hubs - places for storing farm products. A. Goncharov will provide a similar service to members of his farmer's cooperative. This will help manufacturers to ensure the necessary stock of products for deliveries to large retail chains. Thus, a small business in the village from scratch can turn into a large-scale and profitable project.

Agritourism - the exotic of the Russian village

The project of the student of Ulyanovsk State University Konstantin Zakharov "Russian Alexandria" was recognized as the best in the region in 2012.

The attention of a young entrepreneur was attracted by an abandoned village in the Ulyanovsk region with the romantic name Alexandria: beautiful places, a forest, a pond. With his own funds, he purchased the first three houses, investing 200,000 rubles in their repair. Another 300,000 rubles. took a bus to deliver lovers of rural exotics to these reserved places. And in total, according to the business plan of K. Zakharov, he needs 5 million rubles to equip the village for agrotourism: with this money, you can clear the pond and lay the necessary communications, as well as purchase more houses and make a mini-hotel from the former school. The planned payback period of the project is 2 years at the cost of living in a house with furnishings of the 18th - 19th century. 3 000 rub. in Week.

From entertainment, vacationers can use a Russian stove with the possibility of cooking according to old recipes, caring for a garden, fishing, working in an apiary and a bathhouse. During the year, "Russian Alexandria" will be able to receive up to 500 tourists.

K. Zakharov plans to make the project year-round and arrange a ski slope with a lift in Alexandria. And if the local authorities do not refuse to help, the entrepreneur promises to employ up to 100 people.

Russian organic flour

Women in the family of entrepreneur Pavel Abramov have always preferred organic flour for baking. Italian. Because there was no Russian before. And now it appeared, thanks to the fact that Pavel decided to engage in its production in 2012, having mastered 200 hectares for this purpose in the Aleksinsky district of the Tula region, although in general crop production in this region is still poorly developed (see Fig. 2)

The farm introduced an absolute ban on the use of any agricultural chemistry, even the land is cultivated without the help of a plow. Weeds are fought by repeatedly passing the field with a cultivator. Flour is produced using stone millstones.

P. Abramov's fields grow 7 types of cereals, from which he produces 19 types of high-quality products. It has already been appreciated not only by consumers of organic food, but also by large producers. For example, Danon uses wheat and spelled flour from his Black Bread company to make baby food. But this manufacturer has very high requirements for suppliers!

With his activities, P. Abramov confirmed the UN conclusion that organic farming increases the farmer's income by 2-3 times. Having invested 2 million euros in the project, he set a goal to completely “recapture” them in 7 years.

Recently, investors have drawn attention to the case of P. Abramov, and with their help, the entrepreneur plans to establish his own production of cereals, pasta, and bread.

Hotel in the woods

Thinking about what kind of business can be opened in the village, pay attention to already existing enterprises that, for various reasons, have ceased to bring profit to their owners or are in decline. Perhaps this is your chance!

This is exactly what the Shestakovs from the Arkhangelsk region did when they bought the once popular Golubino recreation center, which fell into disrepair after a fire in the main building and the ruin of the owners.

In 2015, they rebranded the establishment and decided to “develop the tourist complex as a unique platform for northern culture” (E. Shestakova) This is how the new “Golubino Forest Hotel” appeared, located near the unique Pinezhsky karst caves and the state reserve.

Here are the steps that the new owners of the recreation center took to establish their family business:

• The main building was restored and the auxiliary buildings were repaired (the investor was the brother of Elena Shestakova)
• Income from the first visitors was used to update communications and modernize the restaurant
• Conducted an audit of personnel: those who did not want to meet the standards of hospitality were fired, the rest were trained with the invitation of hotel business specialists and psychologists
• We introduced a uniform for employees in the Russian style to create a national flavor, for the same purpose we established cooperation with the local House of Culture to organize leisure activities for tourists with gatherings around the fire, singing Russian songs, folk amusements
• Since 45% of the hotel guests are from other regions, in 2015 the company became a member of the Arkhangelsk Regional Tourism Association and took part in several tourism forums. So contracts were concluded with major Moscow tour operators

Thanks to these measures, the Golubino Forest Hotel is known far beyond the Arkhangelsk region and brings a stable income to its owners.

Summary

If desired, in the countryside today you can develop almost any line of business. Its payback period cannot be called short, but with properly organized marketing, a well-thought-out business plan and interest in the chosen business, you can get a stable income and enjoy life away from the bustle of cities.

Own business is an opportunity to work for yourself and not depend on anyone, do what you love and at the same time get a good profit. Many people dream about it. And even if you live in a village, you should not give up this dream, thinking that you will not be able to realize what you want. “How to open a business in the countryside and which one?” - this question is asked by many residents of villages and small settlements. Of course, the village cannot provide the same business development prospects as the 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

Breeding bees

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

As a result of a successful business start, you can get products that will be your product: honey, beeswax and poison, pollen, royal jelly. All this is in great demand. You don’t need to talk about honey itself - everything is clear here, and the rest of the products are now especially in demand in cosmetology and medicine. .

Store opening

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

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

Growing plants

The village has all the conditions to grow various plants and properly care for them. Many people (and those who live in the village, especially), taking care of their health, often resort to the method of phytotherapy, that is, herbal treatment. Probably, there is no longer a single disease that would not have 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 for sale and greens used for food: dill, parsley, onions, celery, etc. If the area and skills allow, you can also plant indoor flowers. The grown products will be sold again by the villagers themselves, and with large volumes of goods, they can be taken 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 as ostriches. It will be necessary to invest a serious amount of money in opening a chicken farm - about 150 thousand dollars. This amount can be overwhelming for a novice entrepreneur, so such a business is usually opened by those who have already earned decent money in another area and are now ready to invest in an ostrich farm.

Such a business can be safely 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 products derived from it. If you plan to sell products only to your neighbors in the village, then you can handle 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 needs to be equipped with various equipment: for the processing and pasteurization of milk, for the production of sour cream, butter, cheese, cottage cheese, etc.

You are unlikely to be able to provide large shops and supermarkets in the city with such products (since they buy goods in huge quantities and work with only large manufacturers), but it is quite possible to try to establish contact with small shops and kiosks. Dairy products will never lose their value, so a business in their production is a good idea from the very beginning.

Opening an entertainment facility for young people

The older generation of people living in the villages are more busy with household chores than recreation, but young people simply need to have fun. However, the idea of ​​opening an entertainment facility will be relevant only in those settlements where the population is not entirely small. In settlements 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 be opened? There are several options: a cafe with karaoke. Of course, it is worth understanding that such a business should be "sharpened" precisely for a specific target audience. If you miss with this, you will not avoid failure, since it is unlikely that they will come to your institution 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 amount of investments, also consider 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

A line of business that has not yet gained momentum, but according to experts' forecasts, it has every chance of becoming a "hit". In the cities there are many people who are tired of the bustle and bustle of the city, and want to indulge in enjoying nature, fresh air and other delights that life in the country provides at least for the weekend. On this aspiration of urban residents, you can build a business. What is required of you: the presence of a large house, good mobile communication on its territory and in the vicinity, various leisure activities (a lake or river near the house, a bathhouse attached to the house, your own farm).

If you can comfortably accommodate about ten tourists in your house and provide them with options for a pleasant pastime, then you can start thinking about this business idea right now! Rural tourism, although good in its essence, has some nuances for the entrepreneur. First, it is still a seasonal business. Most often, people wake up with a desire to immerse themselves in village life in the warm and hot season. Secondly, it may be difficult to find clients. You should run a substantial advertising campaign in the major city closest to you, touting all the benefits and recreational opportunities that you are ready to provide to your customers.

Production and sale of flour

Flour is an indispensable product in the kitchen of every housewife. And just like in the case of dairy products, flour will always be in demand, since people have not yet figured out how to 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 it), then this business option is for you. The production of various 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 machine, 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 to you and to them.

Crayfish breeding

We have already written and talked about the fact that such a business definitely needs the right reservoir. If you live in a village and have your own plot of land, then it will not be difficult for you to create a suitable reservoir for breeding crayfish. In food, crayfish are quite unpretentious, and it is not difficult to care for them. It is only necessary to study how they grow and reproduce, and carefully monitor that they are comfortable in the created environment. To equip the reservoir, you will need special pieces of equipment that will make the whole process of doing business easier for you.

The advantage of the crayfish business is that the final product is in great demand, it will not be difficult to find customers. The downside is that this business is seasonal.

Sawmill and woodworking

The business idea is to process the forest and turn the wood into building materials. 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 bead, beams and sell it all to construction companies or private 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.

Breeding rabbits

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 area of ​​\u200b\u200bactivity has begun to develop dramatically. New technologies and methods of 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 kg rabbit in just four months, while producing high quality meat and fur. Without going into details, we will only say that the main essence of this technique lies in the frequent feeding of 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 racks and tiers. By connecting several of these buildings together, you will create a whole 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.

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 villagers have their own plots of land where they grow food. If you expand the site to a large size and acquire high-quality freezing equipment, you can create an excellent current business.

Growing turkeys for meat is much more profitable than broiler chickens. In addition, at the moment it is possible to purchase such breeds of turkeys that by the age of five months gain weight of 20-25 kg. If you cannot decide which small business you can open in the village, try to do this profitable and quite promising business.

Over time, when the business begins to flourish, you can think about expanding it. Large farms that breed fur-bearing animals in large volumes fully automate the work, as well as purchase the necessary equipment and independently dress the skins. Some companies open sewing shops for the production of fur products. Such a business brings millions of dollars in profit to its owners.

Manufacturing

In fact, many regions open up broad prospects for the development of various manufacturing industries for entrepreneurs. Small capital investments, cheap labor and the possibility of renting inexpensive premises allow newcomers to open a profitable business in the village in a short time and achieve great success.
