It turns out that ostriches in our lives much more than it seems. They are relevant to our country and are institutionalized agriculture. Ostrich meat is now found in major supermarkets in Moscow. And this meat does not go on safari in Africa or in Australia (where they are run?), And routinely brought from the Moscow farms, with farms. And only those farms near Moscow fair amount, but really big - five or six. I Shahal Bokova, the owner of ostrich farm Strafer "drastically changed pattern of life: he had previously lived in Moscow, and only came in Orekhovo-Zuevo, now vice versa - lived here, near the farm, which at once Drovoseki outside the village, and visits to Moscow by necessity. - because I still have a business building. In Moscow, a lot of cases. We slowly walk around the farm. Indoor, warm folds, where three strausyata, where frosts are hiding herd. incubators. Sound and spacious. Well, as stables for ostriches. Strausyatniki say. And as soon disappears leniently, "nesereznoe" relevant sides. No exotic, difficult agricultural production. Only open pens do not have any cows, ostriches and sad - they sit on the cold ground nut-zuevskoy similar to the gray dogs with long sheyami. Dutch syndrome - The idea of breeding ostriches came ... not even remember exactly where it started: somewhere to read about ostriches or heard on the radio - Shah says slowly, in the -derevenski judiciously .- There was a desire to find a place for the city to the lake, fishing, forest - natural, in a word. Moscow zaela life, a normal desire to escape from the city to change the situation. And if it can be combined with the case and even some which had revenue - is ideal. So, for ostriches, I will pay attention because, according to the information they grow very profitable. Dal pomoschnikuzadanie find her on the case. It turned out not everything is so simple - we have no information. But then my Dutch friends have brought to their compatriot, a farmer. I went to get acquainted. Looked economy, standard of living of the people - like me, or rather, all confirmed the profitability of businesses. - And what is this level? - Nice house, nice car ... But in the Netherlands, probably somewhat different than that of our criteria. But even in this case - I saw that on his ostriches in great demand and, more importantly, stable. He delivered strausinoe meat, ostrich skin, eggs, fat (it is used in perfumery), feathers. To be sure, as ostrich meat went to the restaurant to taste dishes from strausyatiny - delicious. The meat tender, it is known that it lowered cholesterol - diet, then. Everything was fine, just a little story smuschal farmer that he was going to profitability for eight years. During this time, said 200 farms strausinyh razorilos. The bird is good, unpretentious, include its cost, but there are nuances. The trick, to get out of his story, to feed an ostrich, and foster chicks to three months: if, after this deadline will survive - everything on it is not scary. Well, I thought that without the difficulties and nuances it is hardly possible to a profitable business, and decided. Moreover, I thought, most of the cost Dutch - this land. It is not enough, and it is expensive - we have with this simpler. giving his account to the farmers in the Agricultural Students Timiryazevskoy - he should be studied in detail all the stages of cultivation and maintenance of ostriches and start cooking, so to speak, the ground for ostriches here. It was purchased by land, it was necessary to build the kind folds, incubators, arrange the folds open, purchase equipment, to bring the gas for household heating. So buy a bird, actually. Already in the first year has been invested a significant amount ... - And how much you invest, if not a secret? The order figures at least. - In the first year and $ 600-700 thousand Moreover, that sum is itself a major, were the circumstances, aggravated by, so to speak, the situation. In fact, I originally wanted to do this business with his friends, with partners, but they refused, believing it is not very serious and profitable. We had everything up himself. Then, as you know, buy land, obtain permission for the construction of buildings to carry out gas here, explained to local authorities that no drugs I'm not proizvozhu vodka singed razlivayu - a complex case. It not only costly, but mutornoe long - with the gas the entire history of two years, for example, stretched. Go circuit, oil business, I did not - found that the new people and start a new place must be strictly correct. Naturally, all the delays and bureaucratic obstacles have affected the business, but the main difficulty was not in it. It's been in ostriches. Secrets growth - So, we purchased 80 adult, my fellow brought from Holland secrets vyhazhivaniya that the birds except for one little things: we did not know the recipe for ostrich feed. Manufacturers keep it secret. Well, nothing, we decided we bring to Moscow a sample in the laboratory will determine everything - what problems? The laboratory was unable to identify any ingredients, nor the proportions of the mixture - nothing. Dutchman himself was unaware of: ready to buy food, no problem, but from what it is - have no idea. But the purchase of food in the Netherlands from an economic point of view, meaningless, and in Moscow representation of the company, which sells food that was not. And it turned out this problem. Bird we had chicken feed - a year of adult ostriches left 70 more in a year or 50. But the disaster is not even that dying adults - we could not go chicks. In the first year we've got about 100 chicks. Survived one or two. And we, unlike the Dutch, it was the opposite: two to three months, nestling grew normally, and then died. We could not cross the three-month mark. In general, two years have been nightmarish: no replacement stock as possible to manage? Plus, ongoing investments in business without a hint of profit. The situation was such that I am, of course, sold to a farm - if he knew who ... But we stood up two years. And for the third year all soshlos: we are finally to determine the composition of feed, ended major investments in construction, spent all etapyvyraschivaniya chicks - it became clear that it is not wasted money spent on expensive incubators. Iesche a coincidence. When we started to build a farm in 2000, agriculture is still ongoing devastation, but by 2003, has the agricultural boom, or something ... It means that the market has appeared for our products. Miracle bird - Shah, judging by what you have invested in the ostrich business is very significant amount, you are already in poverty are not ostriches. What are such that spurred you to start a so exotic, whatever one may say, the enterprise? It is very expensive and complex motivations for going to the nature. - And because it is very profitable business. He looked attractive on paper, and even after two nightmare years of my entrance into the case. You can compare with the breeding of cows - I qualified to compare, because recently brought 20 heads of French meat breeds. So, the year the content of one adult ostrich costs 3 rubles. One bird, on average, gives 20 chicks. To bird could score, you'll need 12-14 months. As a result, 20 ostriches per year provide 700 kg of pure meat. As with the cow? The content of an adult cow - only feed - worth about 15 thousand rubles. a year. And still harvesting hay. Bull for fertilization to grow even more expensive - it is better to feed it. So, one cow gives a calf each year, one year will bring 200 kilograms of pure meat. In other words, divorce ostriches at lower costs for the maintenance are three times higher yield of meat. itself ostrich meat is much more expensive: today selling price - $ 20 for 1 kg. As I said, meat is not just delikatesnoe and exotic - it is diet. - Are you saying that even traded leather. - Yes, but in Russia it still can be sold only through intermediaries, to $ 100 per square. m (ostrich skin - 1,2-1,4 sq. m). No middlemen significantly cheaper. The same Dutch farmer, for example, proceeds from the sale of skins pays the costs for the ostriches. So, the income from the meat - the net profit. - Do you mean in another way? - I still do not. We have very little, almost no meat, we sell, it turned out only in Russia strausinoe breeding farm. That school, which is mastered by vyhazhivaniyu chicks, those secrets, kotoryevyvez my assistant from the Netherlands, allow us to steadily increase the livestock herds and grow strong, healthy chicks. In other households do not have - and we sell them young, to 7.2 thousand rubles. for one thing. - but the meat is profitable. - Yes, but I want to first build a good, modern plant for slaughter of poultry that are not just literate, and respecting the norms of the European slaughter poultry, but that production was processing - meat, sausages, etc. Here is a three-year project Germans did, only it has spent 35 thousand euros - Shah searching the draft on the table in a small office, but did not find .- I think in the near future, build shop. That's when the profitability increase dramatically. - And I understand that investment has not yet paid off? - So I say: investing the first two years, the largest investment in the economy, is now settled. The farm is profitable. This year was even an influx of tourists, many people - is also a revenue. - A recurrent expenditure? How many people are working on the farm? - When I was a guest of the Dutch, I ask: how many people managed with ostrich farm? He said: I have a herd of 700 head, are three people. But when I was in Africa, there is also a herd of 30-40 people are needed. I do not know how to operate in Russia ... - And what it turned out, both in our country, people get along with ostriches? - Today I have approximately 600 head of ostriches, even a cow, there are peacocks, swans, dogs - six people, there is an accountant. Add up to five people each summer to receive training from the University of Friendship of Peoples. They do business in the incubator. A permanent employees - is guest workers, an official permit, of course. - Why guest workers? The village nearby, as are our farmers? - And there is no farmers, no. Of the men who built the farm in 2000, no survivors there - spilis. And none of the local does not want to work for the wages that I can offer - is somewhere up to 8 thousand rubles. So it is sad. Since gastarbayterami, of course, also the darkness - clearance of all, the cost again for those clearance, but still economically advantageous. At the beginning, when I have not lived here, and came when the then local farmers have worked, it was not me - drink, do not feed birds, do not care for it all ... as usual, in general. Business |
