Agriculture investment can be of good help to our economy today.

[alastantiger]

What' is you opinion on this.

Well my opinion, i agree that agricultural investment is one of the most reliable foundations for any economy. What many people underestimate is how agriculture goes beyond just food, it supports livelihood, stabilizes markets even reduces import dependency and strengthen local economies from the ground up. Where i see opportunity is in modernized agriculture, things like improved irrigation, way better storage system, mechanization and digital tools that can help farmer track weather patterns or crop health. As a nation, if agriculture is prioritized, the economy is bound to respond positively.

Agriculture is a good investment, you'll not think of food shortage if ever you're the one who's farming it and doing all of the crops. Our country is a great agriculture country but because of corruption that happens here, we're the ones who are importing agricultural products for us to consume instead of us exporting our products to other countries that are in need of it. I guess that being someone who's worried of food security, we shall be the one to enjoy and consume it since the cost of these goods and consumables are increasing excessively and nonstoply.

The list of livestock choices makes me think that you are considering this in reverse. Agriculture investment isn't failing because countries don't prioritise it. This is because smallholder farming cannot compete with industrial scale operations in terms of price. I was raised around individuals who experimented with just what you are describing. Most of them failed not due to absence of effort but to a combination of input prices, veterinary costs and market price volatility destroying margins

What actually works? Vertical integration or cooperative models to pool risk and resources. Individual "piggery investments" sound accessible until you calculate feed costs against market prices and realize you're working for below minimum wage. Interesting is the MDG reference. Do you live in an area where there is institutional support? That makes everything different. In the absence of access to credit, technical training and guaranteed purchase arrangements, asking people to begin to invest in agriculture is only asking them to roll dice with their capital on commodities they cannot even price. I would want to know what kind of infrastructure is in place before I would recommend anyone DM you to guide them on this

To be very honest I'm an agricultural expert I can tell you many I have help towards developing their interests in agriculture,am doing this for personal interest and to make sure many has something doing,in the world today believe me 95% percent of every thing we eat and drink today comes from agriculture investment,you can kindly make your findings to see the truth behind it,this will also help many youth today to have something doing unlike depending their self on government or waiting for jobs to come this will easily put food on their table regardless the high cost of feeding as you said ,their are ways we feed our livestock this days to reduce cost ,we use conventional feeding on livestock to reduce high cost ,we teach them ways they can reduce spending money on livestock at the end they will make enough gain,all this is for free.

Everyone wants their country to be successful in their agriculture but no individual wants to be a farmer and get their hands dirty, all they look for is white collar jobs? ::)
...

That's absolutely right, but in city life, after a certain age, people become Kafka's Gregor Samsa... :) So, even if it's not for the help of contributing to the country's economy, I think people want to engage in agriculture in search of personal peace. In other words, in the country where I live, we have a few proverbs: we came from the soil, we will return to the soil, or the soil is calling us...

It is the demand of every conscientious citizen that governments develop agricultural activities, but we must also remember that our agricultural activities are shaped by our geographical conditions. In other words, we should not expect our governments to provide incentives for all agricultural products just because we need to develop agricultural activities. On the other hand, OP has recommended that the government engage in agricultural activities, but I believe this should be the last resort. I don't think something that has been tried before in the world and has yielded negative results is likely to yield positive results now.

Of course, agriculture is truly a good investment. Aside from helping the country's economy, it also provides great benefits not only to our families but also to other people.
That's why some people buy farms, because it's a good business.

Additionally, its value increases over time. Some even use it for livestock or fishponds. Honestly speaking, there are many things we can do with agriculture,
so if it can all be utilized by people, it's really great.

You know agriculture is one sector which serves as the bedrock for the sustainability of many economies, it has given jobs to many people beyond counts and records and it is one of the neglected sectors which has given highest financial freedom to the grassroots including the poorest of the poor. Agriculture even contributes to the big part of the money most country earns. But when it comes to agriculture, the best way forward is modern way of farming such as providing better ways to water crops, good places to store your food so it does not spoil and machines which are going to make works easier including building of apps on phones which can check the weather or the crop health. Once the government is able to put money into these areas I mentioned now, it will grow the economy of the country by good rise and food commodities will become cheaper as well as more jobs.

You are right ,tracing agriculture investments from the grassroots is one of the best deal any government can think of today,if you check in our local communities,their is no agricultural firm own by government, because they lack understanding sorry to use this words but their are things the government need to consider in country,they should think of a way forward and I think agriculture investment is a way forward,at list in a given community they are supposed to have two large agricultural farms well secured just for the benefits of the citizens to reduce drugery in the society.

When you talk of Agriculture, it is the future because no country will survive without agriculture. As you said what government need to do in assisting the Farmers is to look for investors who are willing to invest in agriculture, because I don't see any government investment that succeeded these days, because citizens seem to see government investment as an opportunity for them to cut their national cake, but there are many ways that government can support farmers by getting an investors so that the equation will be balance.

When you talk of boosting an economy of the Nation, agriculture is a sector that should come first because people are making a lot of money through it, agriculture is very wide it only depends on your specialization. So if you want to get rich go into agriculture and you will see all what I'm saying but remember it require patience.

Smart work becomes more important in tougher locations. When opportunities are limited, you’re forced to optimize, hustle, and think creatively. In stronger economies, even average effort can survive. So it’s not that hard work fails — it’s that the margin for error is very different.

If you still have the desire to make this a reality in the near future, you'll obviously strive to obtain the capital so that your dream can be realized properly. Farming is currently still considered a very viable profession to develop as long as there is adequate land and we can manage it properly until harvest time. Because any agricultural product is still highly sought after, especially vegetables and fruits, which can be processed into more useful and popular products. I also like to see farmers who can cultivate the land to produce better agriculture, even though I personally am not good at it.

Theoretically this is possible but practically, there is a lot the pipeline that affect farmers that need to be address. Vegetable is a highly consumable food but they have their challenges which is the season. Any farmer can enjoy farming during the raining season, in dry season it becomes a challenge to farm. Only irrigation farming survive with vegetables and not all farmers in some regions can handle irrigation farming, it's a major challenge for many farmers especially the rice farmers.

There are many challenges and factors that if we discuss, it wouldn't end but I will like to encourage everyone to become farmer. We can't plant everything but garden should be highly encourage so as not to depending on other farmers. This will also boost exportation because when farmers have more than what they can consume, exportation will increase, this is going to make other countries want to buy from them particularly if the produce is a very demanding and important one.

I agree agriculture matters a lot, especially for food security, but I don’t think it’s a magic solution by itself investment only works if there’s infrastructure, access to markets and some level of stability small scale farming can help families and local areas, but for the economy to really grow, governments also need storage, transport and fair pricing.

Agriculture will always have a poor economic support even if it is feeding the entire economy.

Supporting local farmers is a socially good initiative but the ROI is on the lower side. If that is fine you can go forward with it. Mostly those who own farms already or have been in close association with the farmers are commonly doing this.

For investors who are closer to urban side, this choice is not common.

[Shishir99]

I agree that people should invest more in agriculture. But at the same time, the government should give the best facilities to the farmers. They should stop importing products that are grown by their own farmers so the farmers can make some profit. For example, Bangladeshi Farmers grows Onion every year, and when it is time to harvest, the goverment import Onion from India. Due to import, the local onion farmers sell their onion at very cheap price. Most of the farmers do not want to make the same mistakes. It is the fault of the government. They should give priority to the farmers to save them first.

The government's subsidy on agriculture can lead to a radical change in the country's production system. It is not enough to build roads and develop infrastructure. It is necessary to take measures to preserve seeds and preserve perishable crops. It is the responsibility of the government to provide free seeds to every farmer, provide training for proper cultivation, and ensure that farmers get a fair price at the time of harvesting. It is also the responsibility of the government to motivate farmers to carry out the entire process from sowing seeds to harvesting and to provide necessary pesticides.

Along with the government, private institutions should be made responsible for ensuring the availability of area-based agricultural equipment. One of the ways to develop a country through agricultural development can be. By producing crops in a country, a lot of foreign exchange can be earned by exporting them abroad to meet the needs of the people of the country.

A sad situation currently happening especially on third world countries since usually agriculture gets low support because government have other priorities.

Usually what we can see is they pay more attention on infrastructure and didn't bother to support the farming industry that's why many farmers didn't yield good harvest because they struggle to meet their needs on their farms.

If government will support local farmers provably that they can yield more better result and that can totally help their country to progress. But usually corrupt politician didn't bother since they fund those project on which they can take lots of kickbacks that's why agricultural sector remain to be in bad situation.
