The Trinituner Entrepreneurship/Self Employed/ Side Hustle Thread

[VJTEK]

^^ Good to know. You seem to be very informed on this issue.

My skepticism when it comes to these projects comes from years of lip service from various governments over the past 15 years we have been in the industry.

Let's hope that all you mentioned comes to past and also that if governments change that it stays that way.

aidan info sounding great, hope it pans out

[pugboy]

what is the situation with feed, that is an important cost which the farmer cannot control

in chicken industry farmers are at mercy of feed suppliers and feed suppliers end up getting into chicken business so margins are very low

Well this should be interesting, the main problem in marketing and selling locally produced tilapia will be providing "assistance", I guess hopes of increased duties on imported Chinese tilapia are down the drain

My home based tank system. Very simple setup. Fish gets to this size in 4 months.

[nervewrecker]

[VJTEK]

About 25. The tanks are small. It's probably 4 feet diameter. These are the cut tanks from Century Eslon.

Not this thread again.

[desifemlove]

Expanding on this idea, why not own a chain or ho houses. You can paint them all white and call it "The Pearl Necklace"

[shogun]

It's all about finding that niche OP. Preferably something you're knowledgeable about and the public has a demand for. If you're passionate and enthusiastic about it as well... then bonus.

a mobile ho house.
One car to have the selection of sloots, and a panel van to put the bed.
Godspeed.

Lease about 5 acres of agricultural land.Plant crops, both long term (cassava, peas, corn) and short-term (for operating cash). Dig a pond, get some tilapia fingerlings and in no time at all, you rolling in a nice income.

Most trinis too lazy to do this ^^ or to make the sacrifice or effort in general to start any business that involves work.

What type of crops for the short term do you recommend?

[gt4tified]

Carailli, sweet potatoes, eddoes, peppers etc.

[Chimera]

Good luck finding workers to farm that 5 acres.

I think that's why he was implying you have to do most of the work yourself.

[Chimera]

farm 5 acres by yourself?

you looking for an early grave

[shogun]

not really, I am working on a solution to automate farms so one person can effectively run a 5 acre farm. Trying to get funding now to prove feasibility. I'm competing in a grant program for some funding, you can see the idea and vote for it here: http://bit.ly/vote4dmitri
