Modern people prefer to buy organic vegetables grown on the basis of vermicompost. This is a very valuable technology that allows you to maintain human health. In addition, this is one of the quite promising and profitable areas of activity for beginning entrepreneurs. We will talk about how to open humus production at home in this article.

What is biohumus needed for?

Almost all fields in our country are contaminated with pesticides and various mineral fertilizers. Farmers constantly complain that crop yields are declining annually and, accordingly, profit is decreasing. Pests and all kinds of diseases destroy plants right on the vine.

Biohumus is an organic fertilizer that has unique properties. Of course, this is not a panacea that can solve all the problems, but nevertheless, such a drug provides real help. Nowadays, it is widely used in agriculture instead of chemical fertilizers for growing environmentally friendly vegetables.

Business features

To engage in the production of vermicompost at home is most convenient for those people who breed cattle. In this case, the entrepreneur does not have to purchase raw materials. For the production of this organic fertilizer, California red worms are most often used. They live 4 times longer than ordinary earthworms and reproduce much more actively. You can purchase these amazing worms online. They are delivered without any problems to any region of our country. Before you do this, you need to draw up a detailed business plan for the production of vermicompost. This will help you plan correctly all stages of activity and organize your work correctly.

Technological process

Now let's figure out where to start the production of vermicompost. First of all, you need to prepare a substrate and acquire worms. This matter should be approached very responsibly. Typically, worms are purchased from specialized vermicelli farms. The genetic population must contain at least 1,500 individuals, among which there will be both young worms and cocoons. Before buying worms for vermicompost, prepare a place for them. To do this, you can use compost heaps or ordinary wooden boxes. Also, read about at home.

Scheme: Production of vermicompost

The traditional biohumus production technology consists of four stages:

1. Preparation of nutrient substrate. As compost, bird droppings and cattle manure are used. To improve its quality, you can add leaves of vegetable crops, food waste, as well as a mixture of peat and lime per 20 kg per 1 ton of substrate;
2. Bookmark Worms. This stage requires careful preparation and careful attention. For 1 square. 750-1500 worms lay a meter of compost. They are evenly distributed over the entire surface together with the nutrient substrate. Since worms do not like bright light, you need to cover the heap with dark material that does not allow air to pass through;
3. Top dressing. Ranges with worms should be loosened and watered periodically, because they are very sensitive to a decrease in humidity. Watering is carried out with settled water, the temperature of which is 20-24 degrees. Compost in a box is divided into three zones. The top layer is a food for worms. It should be supplemented periodically to provide them with food;
4. Selection of vermicompost and worms. After the density of the worms in the nutrient substrate begins to exceed the permissible limits, there is a need for their selection. First, the worms are kept hungry for several days, after which they put a layer of food on which they move. After 2-3 days, it is removed along with the worms. The procedure is repeated 3 more times for 3 weeks. The remaining vermicompost is collected with a scoop, dried a little and packaged for storage.

From home production of vermicompost, you can get a stable high profit if you find in advance marketing channels for finished products.

Equipment

In order to produce organic fertilizers in larger volumes, it is necessary to purchase special equipment for the production of biohumus. You will need composters and a mechanical sieve to sift the finished fertilizer. In addition, you need to buy scales and a special filling device.

It is worth noting that the price of equipment for the production of vermicompost largely depends on the type of construction. Approximately you will have to spend from 50 to 125 thousand rubles. A sieve and scales will cost you 30-40 thousand rubles. You also need to purchase working equipment - shovels, trolleys, instruments for measuring acidity and soil temperature. For this you will spend another 30-40 thousand rubles.

Sales

Before drawing up a business plan of vermicompost, it is necessary to find reliable distribution channels. The success of your enterprise depends on this in many respects.

Pure vermicompost is sold in bags of different volumes. In addition, worms can also be sold. They are bought by poultry farms, fishermen, pet shops, as well as producers of organic fertilizers.

The main consumers of vermicompost are homeowners, farmers and flower nurseries. Large quantities of fertilizers are purchased by wholesalers for their further resale. Since the cost of vermicompost is quite affordable, this product is in great demand. With its implementation usually there are no special problems.

Financial calculations

For the purchase of equipment and worms you have to spend 150-500 thousand rubles. In addition, it is necessary to take into account constant payments - wages to workers, raw materials, payment of utilities.

Now let's talk about income. To calculate them, you need to find out how much vermicompost costs. One kilogram of organic fertilizers is sold at 10-15 rubles. If you produce about 15 tons of vermicompost per year, net income will be 150-200 thousand rubles. To increase profits, you can mix pure vermicompost with other substrates. Initial investments pay off in 1.5–2 years. The profitability of the enterprise at the same time reaches 150-170%. In the future, income will only grow.

Vermicompost production

• Before setting up biohumus production as a business, you should familiarize yourself with all the nuances of this area of \u200b\u200bactivity;
• First of all, it should be remembered that rats, moles and other rodents feed on earthworms. Therefore, containers with worms should be placed in a room with hard floors and impervious walls;
• In addition, you should consider how you will store and transport semi-liquid fertilizers. As a rule, tractor trailers are used for this. In addition, care should be taken about packaging. Basically, such products are purchased in small batches, so appropriate packaging will be needed.

conclusions

Experts believe that the production of vermicompost by worms is a rather promising and profitable business line. Of course, in 2-3 years it will not make you a millionaire, but, despite this, you can make good profit on the sale of biohumus. To succeed in this area, you need to constantly look for new wholesale buyers. This will help you get a positive result.

It is simply amazing what people are not trying to make money on! Business ideas have no limits on creative freedom. It turns out that business is also a kind of creative process, and can be fun. Especially when the profit from it becomes tangible and pleasantly fits in your pocket.

Have you tried to make money on breeding worms? Well, wow, little idea! However, there are those who wish, and such a business idea does not only exist as an idea, but has already been put into practice. In Russia, the idea of \u200b\u200bsuch a business appeared recently, although worms have been grown on an industrial scale in western countries for a long time and with the help of them they receive new environmentally friendly fertilizers.

Why can a worm come in handy? Which of these can be profitable? The first thought that comes to mind is for fishing. Well, yes, you can breed worms and sell them to fishing enthusiasts. But in this case, the worms will be in demand only in the summer, they are unlikely to be sold in large quantities, it is necessary to come up with worms more useful application. And there is such an application, this industry is agriculture.

What is biohumus?

Biohumus (or vermicompost) is an organic fertilizer that is obtained from the processing of waste earthworms. Therefore, it does not contain any harmful chemical elements and fully meets all environmental requirements.

To obtain vermicompost, you will need ripe manure, hay or silage, ripe leaves, and other organic waste. First, all this mass should properly overturn, then worms are launched into it for processing. California worms are best suited for recycling (they multiply faster), but our regular ones will also.

In agriculture, we use biohumus mainly for growing vegetables in greenhouses; fertilizer is also suitable for strawberries. The yield increase in this case increases on average from 30 to 45%. And interestingly, an environmentally friendly product matures, since compost is the result of processing only organic waste, and there is no chemistry in it.

Humus production as a business

If you take the business of humus production as a basis, then you can make good money on this. With initial small volumes of the product, large investments are not required. But the matter is, frankly, not simple and not fast.

It should be noted right away that humus production is typically a rural business, and in urban conditions it will not work. We need a piece of land on which compost will ripen, preferably away from the annoying neighbors and the bustle of the city. There is an unpleasant moment in this matter - it is unlikely that when raw materials for humus are rotted, it will be pleasant to smell.

To start this type of activity, you need to prepare the ground for processing.  With a small production, you can use your garden. For compost, a wooden box should be built. Organic waste needs warmth, and if the compost ripens in the winter, it will need a warm barn with a good warm floor. Of course, compost ripens better in summer.

The ripening of raw materials for humus can take a lot of time. The composition of its mass affects the maturation rate. Do not use old manure in compost - it is unlikely to rot. To speed up the process, the mass is regularly moistened and covered with dry leaves. Well shredded waste ripens faster.

By the time the compost mass ripens, worms must be prepared. You can dig up worms in the garden, but this option is hardly suitable - such worms will not breed well and live in a dung environment. It is better to buy California worms, the number of which in a fairly short period of time can increase significantly. In addition, the habitat in the mass of organic humus is familiar to them. To transport the worms, you will need wooden or metal boxes.

The worms are launched into the finished compost, and they process the humus mass. You should periodically plant new portions of compost as it is processed. As a result of processing, biohumus is obtained, which is packaged before sale. It is better to pack fertilizer in different volumes - packages up to 5-6 kilograms are conveniently sold at retail, it is advisable to sell large packages to wholesalers.

You can sell not only ready-made vermicompost, but also surplus worms, as they quickly multiply, and so many are no longer required for compost processing. It turns out an additional bonus - profit from vermicompost and from worms. Although, if you increase production, worms will be needed in new areas.

In the production of vermicompost, it is important to correctly market your products. Biohumus is readily bought and taken for sale by shops, gardeners for their summer cottages, and greenhouses. Worms are readily bought by poultry farms. There is evidence that chickens that feed on worms gain about 20% in weight. Large companies producing humus even cooperate abroad - in Asian regions, the crop grows poorly in the sands, but biohumus allows increasing it several times. For example, in the United Arab Emirates, artificial soil is created on sand using humus. With abundant irrigation, such soil gives several crops per year!

The production of humus is considered a profitable business, but its payback period is not small. This is generally understandable: compost ripens from several months to six months, then you need to wait until the worms turn the raw materials into a final product. If the volume of production is small, profits can be expected for about a year. But it is reassuring that the initial investment is small. Many novice entrepreneurs in this business are farmers, and humus production is taken in parallel.

In the production of vermicompost at the initial stage, almost no additional labor is required, the farmer is likely to cope with everything himself.

The biohumus business is not simple. You need to love the work associated with the land, to have patience. But there are many successful enterprises that have built on this successful business. And only a great desire to succeed will lead to a good result.

Biotechnologies in the industrial and agricultural sectors are actively developing today. They can significantly reduce the cost of production and the maintenance of the farm. Particular demand among companies is observed for natural fertilizers, in particular biohumus. And novice entrepreneurs looking for a profitable business area should consider the idea of \u200b\u200breleasing these products. The main advantage here is that you can start the home production of biohumus with your own hands at the minimum cost. And if there is “free” finance, there is a real chance of launching a cost-effective full-scale industrial enterprise.
  Biohumus is a product obtained through the natural processing of manure and various food waste. It is actively used in agriculture - as a natural fertilizer.

Starting investments - 200,000 rubles.

Market saturation is average.

The difficulty of starting a business is 5/10.

Industrial production of vermicompost as a business is associated with some features. Let's consider them in more detail.

Do I need to register a business?

If you are starting a home business, registering it will require additional cash injections. Not sure if things will go well? Then at first it is better to invest in customer search and advertising. You always have time to register a business.
  At first, you are unlikely to be able to conduct wholesale sales of finished products.
But in order to further establish cooperation with large agricultural enterprises, registration is required! Wholesale biohumus will be possible only with the appropriate documentation for the goods. If you are opening a large manufacturing enterprise, arrange it in accordance with all the rules.

Where to start a business?

The production of vermicompost at home and on an industrial scale begins with the search for a suitable area. In the first case, you can even use the barn in your own suburban area - here you can place both the main and the packaging “workshops”. But a production company that produces large quantities of biohumus will require a more serious approach, because in order to place equipment and provide storage facilities, you need a workshop with an area of \u200b\u200bat least 80 m2.

The total area occupied by the enterprise will depend on the scale of production. Approximate calculations are as follows - from 1 m2 of the area annually you can get up to 300 kg of vermicompost.

Obtaining vermicompost should be carried out under certain microclimatic conditions. And this will entail additional investments - the premises must be equipped with ventilation, all communications must be brought here. You will spend at least 100,000 rubles on the conversion of a small private farm.

Production of vermicompost is carried out with the "participation" of worms  - they will have to be constantly purchased. More commonly used are California red worms. Already at the initial stage of the business, find a reliable supplier. The price of 1000 worms ranges from 2000-5000 rubles. Such an amount of "living creature" is enough to populate 2 m2 of land. Settlements are made taking into account the scale of the planned enterprise.
  In addition to the need to buy worms for vermicompost, it is necessary to make a certain supply of manure and food waste. The cost of raw materials ranges from 1000-2000 rubles / t. Every year you will need to purchase about 15-30 tons of manure.
  Given the specifics of this line of business, the production of vermicompost by worms is most profitable to run for private entrepreneurs who are already engaged in agricultural activities - they keep pigs or cattle. In this case, you don’t have to spend money on regular purchases of raw materials, and vermicompost will become additional products for sale.

The technology of biohumus

The idea of \u200b\u200ba business is especially good in that it is not difficult for a beginner to master the technology of biohumus production. If there is such an opportunity, be sure to visit the existing Vermi farm to see everything with your own eyes.
In general, the biohumus production technology looks like this:

• Preparation of the substrate. A mixture consisting of cattle manure, poultry manure and food waste is placed in boxes or special composters. To improve the quality of the nutrient substrate, a mixture of lime and peat is added to it - in a proportion of 20 kg per 1 ton of substrate.
• Bookmark Worms. On 1 m2 of substrate, as a rule, 700-1500 worms are laid. At the same time, they must be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the laid mixture. Boxes are covered with dark non-woven material that does not allow air to pass through - worms do not like bright light.

The technology of production of biohumus in a continuous cycle implies constant care for the Vermi farm. What tasks will you need to perform?

• "Beds" with worms periodically need to be loosened. Do this carefully so as not to kill the individuals.
• Worms respond poorly to moisture reduction, and therefore, as needed, water the nutrient substrate. Use for this purpose the settled water with a temperature of 20-24 ° C.
• Occasionally add a nutrient substrate, otherwise, the worms will have nothing to eat.

The collection of vermicompost begins when the density of worms in the substrate begins to exceed acceptable limits. First, they stop feeding them for a couple of days. Then the nutrient mixture is poured on top so that the worms crawl here. After a couple of days, this top layer must be carefully removed. This procedure is repeated 3 times. The remaining land is vermicompost. It is collected, packaged and sent for storage.
  Depending on what equipment you purchase, you can arrange the production of liquid biohumus or granular products. The second option of doing business will significantly save on starting a business - the cost of finished products will be lower. In addition, there is always a demand for “dry” raw materials.

What equipment is needed to start a business?

The business plan for the production of biohumus in Russia necessarily includes the cost of the purchase of equipment. This is a significant item of expenses, but even a businessman who is going to carry out business at home can not do without the mechanization of the process.

To maintain a Vermi farm at home, you will need the following set of inventory and equipment:

• Wooden or plastic boxes for backfilling nutrient substrate.
• Libra.
• Mechanical sieve.
• Rakes, shovels, choppers.

This is the minimum set of equipment for which you will spend no more than 150,000 rubles. But to automate the process, you will need to purchase a packaging machine - its cost is from 1,000,000 rubles. At first, in order to avoid wasting, you can lay out finished fertilizer manually in packages, and seal containers with a special machine - its cost does not exceed 5000 rubles.

To obtain granular vermicompost under industrial conditions, more “serious” equipment will be required, and, accordingly, higher costs. Large fertilizer manufacturing workshops are equipped with mechanical separators for screening the substrate and obtaining a cleaner product, lines for filling and packing biohumus. At the same time, instead of free-standing boxes with substrates, enterprises often mount a multi-tiered installation - it takes up less space, which allows to obtain large volumes of products in small areas.
  To buy equipment for the production of biohumus in the liquid fraction, you will spend at least 1,000,000 rubles. We need special machines for extracting, fermenting and “washing” the fertilizer. For beginners in business - not the best option. At the same time, the manufacturing technology of the final product is quite complicated and will require certain knowledge in the field of physical chemistry.

Finished Product Sales

Biohumus in bags can be sold to cottagers and homeowners, gardeners, farmers for growing vegetables and fruits, nurseries. You will begin to receive the greatest profit if you use several sales channels at once. If there is such an opportunity, in the summer season you can rent a place in the local market, where they sell seedlings, garden tools and fertilizers.
  It is worth trying to establish links with shops selling goods for gardeners. But in this case, you will definitely need to register your business and pass product quality checks.
  At first, it will be difficult to find regular buyers of finished fertilizer - you need to take care of advertising the products sold. Place ads in newspapers and on the Internet, participate in thematic exhibitions, send out product samples to potential wholesale customers. Launching your own online store will not take you a lot of money - a great option for sales.

Costs of organizing a business and potential profit

In order to buy a biohumus separator and other equipment, to prepare a room for work and to provide a raw material supply, you will need at least 200,000 rubles. For the organization of an industrial enterprise, you will spend about 2,500,000 rubles. Weigh your strengths and opportunities before starting your own business. Better to start small, gradually expanding your business. So all risks are minimized.

How much is biohumus in the domestic market? You will begin to sell finished products at an average wholesale price of 10-20 rubles / kg. If you sell up to 20 tons of vermicompost annually (and this is quite realistic even for a small Vermi farm), you will receive up to 400,000 rubles / year. Excluding the variable costs of maintaining the enterprise, net profit will be at least 250,000 rubles / year.

But the scale of the business can be much larger! Good profitability, given the simple manufacturing technology of natural fertilizers.

Biohumus, also known as vermicompost, is a natural fertilizer that is several times more effective than organic analogues. When using it, the yield increases by 25-50%.

It is noteworthy that there is no need to apply this fertilizer annually, since it perfectly saturates the earth with nutrients. It is enough to carry out this procedure once every three to four years. Such advantages lead to the fact that the demand for vermicompost is constantly increasing. In this regard, its production can become a profitable and promising business idea. We’ll talk about how to organize such a business in our article.

Biohumus Production: Business Plan

Vermicompost is a waste product of earthworms or California worms, which are placed in a nutrient medium, where optimal conditions are created for their reproduction. The organization of such a business can be divided into four main stages:

1. Preparatory stage. At this stage, a suitable room is selected, which is then equipped accordingly. The worms themselves are also purchased, and legal registration of the business takes place.
2. The cultivation cycle, which involves the grinding of raw materials of organic origin and its addition as it is processed into composters (approximately once a month), daily moistening of the nutrient medium, timely planting of worms and sending vermicompost for further processing.
3. Preparations for the sale of finished products. The production of vermicompost is not limited to removing worms from the composter. Vermicompost must also be carefully sifted, dried, and only after that you can proceed to packing. At this stage, you will also need to weigh and pack the finished goods.
4. Implementation. This stage includes the search and expansion of sales channels for finished products using various marketing tools.

Registration of necessary documentation

To start this business, you do not need to draw up any permissions or receive certificates of conformity and licenses. It is enough to register as an individual entrepreneur (IP) for paying taxes according to a simplified scheme.

Vermicompost manufacturing equipment

The production of vermicompost does not imply the use of any sophisticated equipment. You only need composters, which you can either buy or make yourself from boards, a mechanical sieve for sifting, as well as scales and a device for sealing packages.

The walls of the composters in which the worms will live should have a height of the order of 35-40 centimeters. Moreover, they can represent not only plastic or wooden boxes, but also pits with concrete-flooded walls. Depending on the chosen type of construction of vermicultivators, it will be necessary to spend from 50 to 125 thousand rubles for the equipment of a room of 50 square meters.

Additional units, such as a sieve, scales, etc., will cost another 30-40 thousand rubles. In addition, you will need working equipment in the form of shovels, carts, buckets, forks for loosening, as well as an irrigation system and instruments for measuring soil temperature and acidity. About 30-40 thousand rubles will have to be spent on their purchase.

The choice of premises for the manufacture of vermicompost

The production of vermicompost is not possible without the availability of suitable facilities. It must necessarily be equipped with ventilation and heating system. Its area is determined based on the planned volume of finished products. It should also be noted that additional space is required for filling, packing and storing compost.

As for the financial costs of buying or renting and arranging the premises where the production of biohumus will take place, they will vary depending on the region and the type of structure. However, be prepared that at this stage you will have to invest from 50 to 500 thousand rubles.

Acquisition of a worm colony

You cannot do without these little workers. Buying 1000 worms will cost you two to three thousand rubles. This amount is enough to populate two square meters of your vermiferm. If you plan to produce biohumus on an area of \u200b\u200b50 square meters, respectively, about 50 thousand rubles will have to be spent on the purchase of a sufficient population of worms.

Raw materials

The raw material for the production of vermicompost is manure that has passed the stage of composting. As a rule, livestock products of cattle are used. Raw materials are purchased at a price of 500-1000 rubles per ton. However, if you are lucky, you can agree on its free removal, as quite often farmers are faced with the problem of disposing of manure.

Sales of finished products

The main product of your vermiferm will be pure vermicompost, packaged in bags of various volumes, as well as mixtures based on it. However, worms themselves can also be sold in parallel. It makes sense to offer such a product to fishermen, pet stores, and poultry farms, as well as selling it directly as producers of environmentally friendly fertilizers.

Potential consumers of your main product will be summer residents and homeowners, home gardeners, as well as various nurseries and farms involved in agricultural production. In addition, it is possible to sell fertilizer to wholesale buyers who will be engaged in its further resale.

Biohumus production: financial side

Starting investments for the purchase or rental, as well as equipment for the premises, providing it with everything necessary and the purchase of worms will amount to 170 to 800 thousand rubles. Current expenses for utility bills, raw materials, salaries, etc., will range from 100 to 200 thousand per year. Thus, your costs in the first 12 months of business operation will vary from 270 thousand to 1 million rubles.

As for the revenue side, if you produce and sell 15 tons of vermicompost per year, the net profit will be from 150 to 200 thousand rubles. Moreover, this amount can be doubled, putting up for sale not pure vermicompost, but mixed with other substrates.

Thus, investments in the biohumus business will pay off in one and a half to two years. In this case, the level of profitability will be about 150-170%.

Global trends in the cultivation of environmentally friendly products based on vermicompost
In an environment where people are increasingly realizing that their health depends, first of all, on the foods they eat, such a business as the production of vermicompost can bring good income. In the countries of the European Union, environmentally friendly vegetables grown on vermicompost are twice as expensive as regular vegetables.

Biohumus increases soil productivity many times over. Saudi Arabia, a country in which there are practically no fertile soils, buys biohumus from countries in Europe, fully provides its market with wheat and dairy products, and exports these products to neighboring countries. Biohumus itself is a product of the processing of organic waste by earthworms.

Necessary conditions for the production of vermicompost.
   Heads of farms have an advantage in a business such as biohumus production, as it is easier to produce in the complex. The ideal option is when the farm contains cattle.

Californian red worms are used to produce vermicompost. Reproduction of red worms is one hundred times higher than reproduction of ordinary earthworms. Red worms are not only more fertile, they live four times longer than their wild relatives, are more hardy and do not leave their place in search of other food. Today you can buy a red California worm today via the Internet. Transport companies deliver goods packed in a cardboard box to anywhere in the country.

The base substrate is prepared from manure aged for several months, straw chopping and cardboard. In general, any organic matter plus EM preparations can be used to prepare the substrate. These drugs contain effective microorganisms, which dramatically increases the speed of compost preparation. California red worms can be bred both indoors and outdoors.
  One million individuals can be kept in a room of 15 sq.m.

To organize a worm are necessary:
   - boxes (containers) into which the substrate prepared in compost heaps plus limestone materials is poured;
   - lighting (indoors 60 W for 15 sq.m.);
   - water tanks (water should be river or well);
   - natural ventilation;
   - pH meter for measuring the acidity level of the base substrate.

The greatest economic effect for this business is brought by technology, in which the enclosed space is equipped with shelving and containers are installed in several tiers. As containers, you can use ordinary perforated vegetable boxes.
   Worms are fed with a substrate every twenty days. Worms should be kept at a temperature of +18 - +26 and humidity 70%. In cold and dry worms die. Biohumus is considered ready after four months.

Sales of finished biohumus.
   The use of vermicompost allows you to practically abandon chemical fertilizers in the farm. Excess biohumus can be bagged and sold. It is necessary to start marketing with neighbors, to study the needs of the market in this region. Then you can search for wholesale buyers among greenhouses, city farms, landscape firms, nurseries, manufacturers of rolled lawns. The listing procedure is not available to small manufacturers.

Calculation of financing requirements for a small farm
   Financing such a project does not need to attract outside investors. Everything you need can be purchased at your own expense:
   1. Perforated boxes - 20 pcs. 130 rubles each per pc
   2. A batch of worms of 20,000 individuals - 5 lots of 4000 rubles each. per batch.
   3. EM preparations - 5 packs of 300 rubles each. for packing.

As a production room, you can use a greenhouse or an old barn.

Recoupment of biohumus production.
   Starting investments are returned in three months. Profitability depends entirely on the scale of production and can range from 200 to 700%.

From the processing of one ton of manure and other organic waste, about 600 kg of finished products are obtained. The cost of production is 1-2 rubles. per kg The cost of a kilogram of biohumus on average is 6-10 rubles. per kg

In the future, with the growth of profits, it is possible to organize the production of extracts from humus - humistar. This production requires special high-tech equipment. However, this is a transition to a new level for business. One and a half liter bottle of the product costs 10-15 rubles.
   Excess worm can be sold in fishing stores. The cost of one individual is 30 kopecks. If we consider that the worm lives about sixteen years and gives offspring about two thousand worms per year, then this part of the business guarantees high profits with minimal investment.

Biohumus has a high export potential. In the course of scientific research, foreign scientists have long established that vegetables and fruits grown on biohumus contain 30% more vitamins. In the civilized world, this direction is very actively developing.

Studies have shown that the use of vermicompost contributes to an increase in yield by 20-70%. In Russia, the market size of this product is relatively small, although it has development prospects.
