To start this business on a large scale, cow dung is required, in which earthworms are added, and organic fertilizer is ready in 1-2 months. Its market price is ₹6 to ₹8 per kilogram, and demand is constantly increasing.
Nursery Farming
Nursery farming is a business that benefits the environment and more than doubles profits. If someone wants to start a nursery business, they can earn a substantial income. Planting a plant in a nursery costs ₹5, but it can easily be sold for ₹10 to ₹20. Dozens of farmers in Gaya district are earning a good income through nursery farming.
Beekeeping
Beekeeping is an excellent green business where farmers can earn a good income by producing honey at a very low cost. A box costs approximately ₹4,000, with the government providing a subsidy of up to 75%. This means that the effective cost of a box is approximately ₹1,000. A single box can yield up to 15 kilograms of honey in a season, and honey sells for ₹200 to ₹300 per kilogram in the market. Thus, a box costing ₹1,000 can generate an income of approximately ₹4,000.
Biogas Plant
A biogas plant business also relies on the use of cow dung. The cost of setting up this plant is approximately ₹40,000 to ₹50,000, and the government provides a subsidy for its construction.
