Story: Some things about the feed mill business that you need to know
To start a new feed mill, you always have to give importance to some things. If you do not give importance to these things initially, you will face many problems later. Some basic things have been discussed for your idea. However, if the investment is insufficient, then it is better not to start such a project.
It is not possible to say exactly how much land is required for a feed mill. The amount of land depends on various factors including the amount of feed, type of feed, amount of warehoused food, office, residence, transportation system, various infrastructure, and future expansion policies. It is better to calculate the amount of land required for these things. Generally, 2 to 5 acres of land is ideal for a feed mill. If there is a place for parking cars or trucks next to the project; in that case, even a smaller amount of land will do.
If the amount of land is more, there is no loss, in that case, a beautiful environment can be created by the feed mill. Types of feed - Course feed: Layer feed, cattle feed, etc. Pellet feed: Poultry feed, sinking fish feed, shrimp feed, cattle supplement feed, etc. Extruded feed: Floating fish feed, pet food, shrimp feed, etc. TMR: (Total Mixed Ration) feed.
You have to choose which type of feed to make from different types of feed. You can adopt the technology of making sinking and floating fish feed or poultry pellet feed and course feed together. You can even adopt the technology of making poultry and fish feed together, but in that case, there is a possibility of contact of raw materials of one with the other. It has been seen that many people start this way first and when a good market for the feed is created, they make each on separate lines.
This must also be in your plan. You have to decide about the production capacity of the feed mill by checking the market for the feed and depending on the nature of the feed. We need to monitor the demand for feed in our country and your area in the last 15-20 years and think about how much feed demand will increase in the future. Otherwise, it may not be possible to expand the project as the demand for feed increases in the future. The production capacity of the feed mill is calculated in hours.
You can start a feed mill with a production capacity of 3-4 metric tons/hour, 5-7 metric tons/hour, 10-12 metric tons/hour, 20-22 metric tons/hour, 30-32 metric tons/hour or more.
The amount of investment will depend on your decisions on various issues such as the amount of land, type of feed mill, construction of facilities, machinery, and management. Risk Potential: If the quality of the feed is good, a strong market can be created, and good relations and mutual cooperation with farmers and dealers are established, then the investment will be profitable and the capital will be raised quickly. And if not, then the feed business cannot progress much.
If you have made the product but have not decided where to market it, then it is the last straw. So before making the product, you have to sell it, for this, you will first need a small sales and marketing team. Of course, you have to make sure that the head of your sales team is familiar with this sector and is a professional salesperson. -Editor in online information
