What are the ways to control deficit agriculture?

1, the input cost is greater than the return.

In agriculture, many people exclude their own labor costs. Usually, the input cost is basically the cost of means of production, farm tools, hiring agricultural workers, renting land and so on.

A boss engaged in agriculture said that his land lease cost accounts for as much as 65% of his total income. Once there is not enough profit support, the loss is inevitable.

In addition to renting land, the wages of agricultural workers, the means of production and the expenses of various public utilities are also surprisingly high.

Therefore, people who do agriculture will basically lose money because of the high input cost, which seems to be profitable.

2. There is no difference in operation.

Following the trend is the ethos of the whole agriculture. Many friends who engage in agriculture will start farming immediately when they see that the farming around them makes money, and they will start planting as soon as they make money.

Perhaps, this is the management state of small-scale farmers' friends, but there is also the present situation of large-scale farming and homogenization management of friends. Such as those that grow navel oranges, garlic and pigs. ......

These big friends may fall into industrialization and branding because there is no differentiated management.

10 cases of agricultural blood and tears

Perhaps, we rarely see failure cases in the agricultural field, or maybe their loss is not enough to wake up the whole industry.

However, there are many cases of failure in agriculture. With the help of the eyes of agricultural entrepreneurs and operators, dig out or sort out the following cases of blood and tears entrepreneurship in order to sum up experience and illuminate the way forward. The following 10 case, I hope to awaken people who are still persisting in the agricultural field.

1, low food prices at a loss.

Lao Liu is a big grain grower in Jiupu Village, Jiupu Town, Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province. He used to be an engineer. A few years ago, he transferred more than 2,000 mu of land to grow grain, and the annual transfer fee per mu was 700 yuan. Because the land transferred is hilly and sloping, the soil is barren, and droughts often occur. In the first three years, the grain output was not high, with a loss of more than 6.5438+0 million yuan. Later, he drilled a drought-resistant well, and the drought-resistant problem was basically solved.

In 20 15 years, the yield of wheat and rice planted by Lao Liu was more than 700 Jin and 1300 Jin respectively, which was very good for dry land. I didn't expect the price of rice to drop. Although there was a bumper harvest, it did not increase income and barely made ends meet.

Conclusion: Food prices are unstable, and there is no way to avoid price changes. In addition to persistence, it is recommended to increase positions and use the wrong time to sell.

2. Lose money due to the weather.

Yi Chongliang, 55, worked in a state-owned enterprise earlier and failed in business. Lao Yi started his business in agriculture for the second time. He thought he was a rural man and there would be no problem farming. However, it also failed.

In 20 12, Lao Yi led the workers to reclaim land, dig ditches and repair sidewalks day and night, and the 200,000 longan saplings he chose finally landed. However, due to the weather, the saplings with a value of100000 were wasted before they achieved results.

In fact, Yi Chongliang's failure seems to be due to the weather, but in fact it is the lack of technical problems such as the characteristics of fruits and vegetables and soil.

Conclusion: At present, 90% farmers depend on the weather for their food. If they want to operate on a large scale, they must rely on smart agriculture or facility agriculture to avoid the consequences of relying on the weather to eat.

3. Poor sales channels lead to insolvency.

In 2009, Cui contributed10 million yuan as a partner, and transferred it to 65438+ 10,000 mu hillside of Dongxi Town, Zouping suburb, Binzhou City, Shandong Province to engage in organic farming, employing more than 65438+ 10,000 farmers. At the same time, he also built a large feed warehouse, a large green storage pool and a wine cellar, which basically formed a closed-loop chain.

In fact, at 20 1 1, Cui Da's farm operation ushered in the best opportunity. With the sales of that year and government subsidies of more than 6 million yuan, the farm began to make profits gradually. However, the good times did not last long. Because his initial sales channels were group buying and welfare from institutions, state-owned enterprises, banks and other units, the special supply market was no longer prosperous after the policy adjustment at the end of 20 12, and the market's awareness of organic agricultural products was not high, so the retail market encountered "zero sales". However, the park still needs to be operated, and Cui had to make up for the deficit by selling the house.

Summary: planting well does not necessarily sell well. For high-quality agricultural products, it is necessary to establish unique channels, such as membership system, pre-sale system and internet channels.

4. Blindly expanding the scale leads to losses.

Lao Xu used to be the owner of a furniture factory, and his turnover exceeded 200 million pounds. However, because the whole small and medium-sized manufacturing industry was in recession at that time, Lao Xu began to want to transform and be optimistic about the agricultural field, so he started from planting and contracted land in his hometown. In order to avoid risks, I only tried to plant dozens of acres of vegetables at first, but I didn't expect it to go smoothly and the price of vegetables was good. Tens of acres of land earned hundreds of thousands.

Lao Xu thinks that since it is successful, it should blossom in an all-round way, contracting all the infrastructure construction and planting of 1.5 million mu. I didn't expect that the sales difficulty of dozens of acres and the sales difficulty of thousands of acres were not in the same channel at all. We couldn't sell it and had no choice. 1500 mu of vegetables are either sold at a low price, given away or discarded, and the losses are heavy at once. Millions are gone, so there is no way but to continue to work hard.

In the past four years, 30 million savings have all been spent, so Lao Xu's farm has to be transferred to friends.

Conclusion: Remember to run in small steps and don't be greedy blindly.

5. Business mistakes due to dependence on subsidies.

Xiao Song used to be an urban white-collar worker. Encouraged by the policy, he wants to be a labor service company. As a result, he contracted more than 30 mu of land in rural areas at home and planted green beans at the suggestion of village cadres. Everything is crossing the river by feeling the stones. In the early stage, it cost 10,000 yuan to buy farm tools, and it took more than 400 workers (wasting more than half) to plow the fields and plant seedlings, and it cost about 50,000 yuan. Then the green beans need to be covered with wooden strips or bamboo strips, which is nearly 30 thousand yuan. The rent of the contracted land is not expensive, less than 1 ten thousand yuan.

Xiao Song thought there would be government subsidies, but later he got a subsidy of RMB 0/00 per mu/kloc, because the contracted land project needed more than 300 mu, otherwise it could not be established.

Conclusion: To do agriculture, we must be familiar with the policies concerning agriculture, countryside and farmers, and carry out production according to the policies, but it is best not to focus on subsidies, otherwise it will be disastrous.

6. Loss due to lack of experience

Kang Wei from Anhui could have chosen to stay in Germany after his master's degree, but he chose to go back to his hometown. 20 12 10, Kang Wei and three students rented nearly 300 acres of land and fish ponds in the suburbs of Hefei, with a total investment of more than RMB/kloc-0.00 million, and began to weave his pastoral dream.

In fact, as many people expected, in the first year of the farm, one difficulty after another followed. From land leveling and road construction to seed selection and fertilizer selection, there are not only technical problems, but also financial problems.
