Agriculture can save your country from recession

[Rengga Jati]

My country is known as an agricultural country. However, in reality, there is still a lot of poverty here. This cannot be blamed because indeed this condition has been going on for a very long time, both the government and the people have also tried. But it really doesn't seem like it's over.
As for agriculture, yes it is. However, sometimes the discrepancy between expectations between the costs incurred and the yields causes many farmers to suffer big losses, even experiencing heartbreaking crop failures. This is indeed one of the risks of doing business in agriculture. Unfortunately, nowadays not many young people want to optimize themselves in this field and develop it with the latest strategies to optimize agricultural output, because for them, working in an office is the dream of many young people. Well, but on the other hand, agriculture is a field that always has to exist and always looks forward to the results, because it relates to the food needs of all people, both in that country and imported to other countries.

Congratulations on your super choice for embarking on the Agricultural route towards the generation of a steady source of income for you and the welfare of your family. Thus, joining other enthusiastic farmers in your country to collectively contribute to your country's economic growth.

Agriculture is a good venture and entrepreneurial choice that can never go into extinction as food is a foremost necessity for daily living. However, while the path of Agriculture may be a good investment route, I believe government can also contribute efficiently to Agriculture in Africa if farmers must generate greater yields.

Agriculture is hard to work and expensive to run,  especially if you are considering commercial farming. But with advanced farming machinery, farmers can get more yields with lesser farm stress. If loans can be provided to farmers to have access to these machineries, I think the Agricultural path will be ventured into by many young people around the world, especially in Africa.

Before the introduction of cryptocurrency and some of the advanced digital technology, we have been involved in the practice of agriculture a good farming have been the major source of income to most countries around the world even before the oil boom, if a country can go into production in full for agricultural produce, they will have to be independent on so many things from the other countries because they have their GDP well enough and being sustainable through the labour output they give out in farming and also export excess out of the country, these could help a country to be self dependent than waiting on the developed nations to determine how they should run their internal economy.

[Cryptomultiplier]

A country that produces its own food and has enough to export can hardly be defeated by war, famine, disease outbreak.
It is just the fact, and the countries who are experiencing the recession in toll have more reliance on foreign produce.
Kenya is undergoing a major riot because of this same recession that has seen interest rate hike to 8%, if such a country were more agriculturally inclined, I don't think any hungry individual would raise a placard to riot against being overly fed.
More countries need to consider agriculture mostly mechanized and decentralized platforms which bothers on opportunities of cryptocurrency, as solutions to economic hardship brought about by over reliance on government jobs/contracts/employments and imports of foreign produce as food source.

The worst happening with agriculture is the lack of importance given. Most of the time third parties eat the profit. Governments need to make arrangements, because people find it hard and don't enjoy the good out of their efforts.

Because we all know how our government interacts with its population, I believe this type of issue is caused by farmers. Therefore, what were farmers to do once they realized how inactive their government was when it came to agriculture? I had no expectations of anyone. However, prior to beginning a farm, you are not required to rely on anyone. And truly, in my opinion, every farmer who wishes to reap the benefits of his labor must be prepared.

However, what affects the majority of farmers today is that it is difficult to find small farmland; instead, they need large land in order to make more money, but what I can call this is nothing but greed; the fact is that the majority of these people seeking out large farmland do not have enough resources to take care of it, so you will see them in the end not enjoying what they have planted because there are not many funds to take care of it, and instead of letting it grow, they will now start selling it and pay back the money they borrowed.

[Peanutswar]

If you are a business man and would to invest in agriculture it's ideal because you can earn at the same time have a sense help with the environment with the cycle of giving oxygen due to help of the plants, another thing here is some of them afraid to have this because of the climate change and the natural occurrence for example, the storm that can damage the plants, a sinkhole that can create a hole to your land and one of the common is the attacks of the insects there's a lot but you are prepared for this you don't need to worry about too much.
Another thing this could depend on the owner of the farmer and the current economic state somehow if the plant was in demand there's a lot of supply needed that makes you profitable

[Kelvinid]

Farming has been encouraged in some countries that have the potential of growing vegies and other crops. In our country, the government put a huge budget helping the agricultural sector to grow and become productive and the results are great and therefore, we could really say that it has a huge impact on the economic flows of the country and lowers the price of our basic necessities. But this is not enough to skip from recessions, though it was a helping factor to increase income but because of corruption, we can't significantly see it changing, sadly we even see it worse.

When a country is able to fulfill its important need, automatically the government is able to focus much on more productive activities. This makes the economy of the government to be progressive than declining over time. Every government have got the ability to fulfill their country's food needs by their country people. It doesn't happen overnight, may take little time, but it is possible and a healthy thing in all means.

[Kadal Ijo]

Basic human needs are food and drink, it is only natural that countries that still rely on agriculture such as Vietnam, Thailand, and many South American countries can survive when an economic recession occurs, and the other side is that agricultural prices will be more expensive because many countries are trying to become industrialized countries and leave farming system.

CONCLUSION
Apart from this tomato farming, I still run a poultry and a piggery farm as part of my agro business. Agriculture is lucrative and comes with alot of opportunities for both youths and adults. Invest in one or more Agro business today and save the world from hunger as well as to rescue your country from recession.

I think for now what you have done by carrying out mitigation efforts in the world of agriculture is a good step and it is an independent effort that is highly expected by governments around the world in terms of food security readiness. I myself also suggest to my garden to plant Sorghum. Sorghum Farm which has a high carbohydrate content which can also replace wheat, rice and corn if a drought occurs at any time. It hasn't arrived yet, but for preparation I think there should be too.

[Raceonsucced]

Very good. This will really help the country. Agriculture is indeed a source of food for people's lives. The agricultural sector has a very important role in the country. Not only for food but also as employment for the community to earn income. Agricultural work sounds trivial even though agriculture is an extraordinary thing that can advance the country's economy.

Food is an essential substance in our life. This is the only thing that will be needed till the day we die. Food supply plays a great role in the economy. High food prices will always lead to an unstable economy. Food consumption is the largest part that impacts the economy. Does not matter if you are poor or rich, to survive, you will need food. By consuming food, the whole nation takes a part in the economic growth. Also if your country is making more than enough food for the whole nation, it can export those extra food to other countries in order to grow the economy.

Farming own food is the key to the fight against inflation. As it is an essential substance, if we make our own, we won't have to spend more to buy them. Covid has taught us that very clearly. Help yourself and in that process, you will help others. Great work OP. As this is your small start hopefully, you will be able to grow it much bigger in the future. Best of luck to you.

Is sorghum more drought tolerant than wheat or corn? Ideally, it will have several fields, and plant all these crops so that it is possible to do crop exchange so that the land does not get tired of the same crop every season. But as for small plots of land, they will not be able to somehow affect the entire region, it will probably have a local impact on your community, and for global tasks you need much more land.

Food is the important part of our life,even though the contribution of the Agriculture in the GDP of most of the country is only 40-50 percentage.We can survive without the food and if the food scarcity comes,the entire economy will be collapsed.The sixty percentage of economy May leads to spend for the food scarcity.The Covid had teach us many things,the most important one is need to hold some savings for the future.Many low middle class people had suffered for the food in Covid to survive is hidden truth.

In the recent world, investing in Agriculture may be a way to save oneself from poverty and also relieve ones country from recession. Countries like China, India, Brazil and Indonesia have used agriculture to improve their economy in recent time. Almost all aspect of agriculture is profitable if done in the right way but some may be more profitable than others. This also depends on ones interest and ones country unless one plan to export its products. My choice of agriculture is vegetable plantation. Here is my tomato farm







Although I'm starting small but I have a great dream to feed the nation with my agro business.

Here is little about tomato farming:

What Is A Tomato?
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a fruit vegetable that is widely cultivated for its edible fruit. It belongs to the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and is native to South America but is now grown worldwide. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins and minerals and are commonly used in a wide range of dishes, including salads, sauces, and soups. They can be consumed both raw and cooked, and come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, including cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and beefsteak tomatoes.


Benefits of Tomato Farming
👉👉Economic opportunities: Tomato farming creates economic opportunities for farmers, traders and other players in the value chain, contributing to income generation and poverty reduction.

👉👉Nutritional value: Tomatoes are rich in vitamins and minerals, which are essential for a healthy diet.

👉👉Health benefits: Tomatoes contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, which have been linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

👉👉Job creation: Tomato farming creates job opportunities for farm laborers, processors, marketers, and other stakeholders in the value chain.

👉👉Export potential: Tomato can be export to other countries and beyond, contributing to foreign exchange earnings.

👉👉Diversification: Tomato farming can be integrated into other cropping systems, providing farmers with options for diversification and risk management.

👉👉Community development: Tomato farming can contribute to community development by promoting social cohesion, employment, and local economic development.


Step-By-Step Guide on how to start tomato farming
👉👉Land preparation: Select a suitable piece of land and clear it of all debris, rocks, and weeds. Then, plow, harrow, and level the land.

👉👉Seed selection: Choose the right variety of tomato seeds suitable for your local climate and soil type. Buy high-quality seeds from reputable sources.

👉👉Seedbed preparation: Prepare the seedbed by mixing soil with organic matter like compost, manure, or peat moss to improve soil quality.

👉👉Planting: Plant the tomato seeds in rows, following the recommended spacing and depth for the variety.

👉👉Irrigation: Water the plants regularly, especially during the dry season, to ensure proper growth and fruiting.

👉👉Fertilization: Apply fertilizer to the plants at regular intervals to provide essential nutrients.

👉👉Pest and disease control: Protect your crop from pests and diseases by using appropriate control methods such as crop rotation, biological control, and chemical control.

👉👉Weeding: Remove weeds around the tomato plants regularly to prevent competition for nutrients and space.
Pruning and staking: Train the tomato plants to grow upright by pruning and staking them.

👉👉Harvesting: Harvest the tomatoes when they are fully ripe, and sell them at the market or process them for export.

Well our new president here in our country is now focus on agriculture products, maybe he has a thoughts that agricultural products has a very big effects on the economy' imagine if the country will import rice from other country just to make the supply enough, it is very discouraging when you know you can plant it in your own country because of its good weather and good places for rice field and other agricultural products for me agriculture  is very important because without agricultural products people will surely suffer a very high price of it.

[Wimex]

If governments realized how important agriculture is instead of creating more urbanism, everything would be very different, it would open up less scarcity of resources, and it would not be so expensive to access food since it would be produced by society itself... and of course this would influence the level of poverty in the country, in a good way, since it would open up the need to find workers to be able to treat the land correctly if this activity is to be taken to an industrial level... I can put An example of a country that I do not consider is taking advantage of its wealth correctly, and it is Venezuela, this territory has lands ready to bear fruit, but they focus on the export of oil to survive without paying attention to others alternatives that could help the national economy.
However, I believe that people should become aware of themselves, as you are doing, and not depend so much on what the government will do to improve their scarcity situation in the country, so start planting and creating your own garden is a step that benefits individually, because you will no longer have to worry if you will eat or not for money.

[Accardo]

Agriculture is commended by a good number of people because of its power to feed the nation, but only a few embark on farming crops or livestock. As a,toddler we were introduced in school about Agriculture; cultivation, shifting cultivation, irrigation etc. Similar to any business, Agriculture requires experience and knowledge for a farmer to excel and yield profits or harvest good produce. I've all read people's happiness and important contribution to agriculture, but I'm not equipped enough to venture into agriculture, similar to many other people. Nobody wants to invest into agriculture and not harvest good produce, that's why it looks like a good number of people don't Farm. Government give agric loans to farmers, they are doing their best to sustain food in the country, yet they forget to fix roads that lead to farm, reduce the price of fuel, and employ labor. These will help minimize the high cost of agricultural produces, with good roads the goods will be transported easily and cheap fuel will not only be effective for the vehicle it'll also be used on the machines used in farming.

This is Why Agriculture Matters. If you look at it, the threat of a food recession is not only happening in the developed countries of the world, but also in developing countries and the agricultural sector is one of the solutions. Yes. what is needed here is to take advantage of unused land, if any, to plant several types of plants that have economic value because they become an additional source of livelihood, supply food, contribute greatly to state revenues and so on.

Why I recommend this: Yes, Sorghum is known as a plant variety that is tolerant of abiotic stress, especially drought and hot weather. True, in practice for 1 ha of land requires about 10 kg of seeds with a minimum spacing of 50 cm x 20 cm and a small water requirement. If I'm not mistaken, it's around 150-200 mm/season (half the water needed for corn, one third for sugarcane juice). limited and supported food security programs.

It reminds me of a certain report about countries in Africa that are experiencing food shortages, it is clear that in order to make the current progress, it is first necessary to ensure adequate food supply, and there are many leading reasons why they cannot manage on their own and need more outside help. Even in the current context when the issue of inflation and commodity prices increase, the fact that agriculture provides our main food is always a factor that is considered very important in many historical or future periods. And I understand the story of countries taking this seriously so that it doesn't lead to the same undesirable things as in the past about hunger.
