Bigrowtec Consulting Pvt Ltd is a leader in peer collaborative business setups, scaling, and branding. With this expertise, Bigrowtec is spearheading the development of a farm sector peer collaborative project: the Farm Park Ecosystem. This initiative aims to meet India's growing demand for goat and chicken meat by creating a collective of commercial farms that can operate efficiently, reduce costs, and maximize profitability. Through a peer collaborative ecosystem, Farm Park empowers entrepreneurs to establish and manage profitable farms, while benefiting from shared resources, systems, and infrastructure.

Why Goat and Poultry Farming?

• High Demand: With 80% of Indians consuming meat, goat and poultry farming are booming sectors. Goat meat (mutton) and chicken are in high demand across economically fast-emerging India, making this an ideal prime business opportunity.

• Proven Profitability: Commercial goat farming, when managed professionally, is one of the most profitable agricultural businesses in India. By integrating poultry farming, the income potential increases significantly.

Why a Collaborative Farm Park?

In India, 80% of the population consumes meat, with a strong preference for goat and chicken. As the country's economy grows, so does the demand for these meat products. Setting up a commercial integrated goat farm with over 500 goats and 5000 chickens requires robust systems, professional management, and substantial investment. A single farm alone cannot feasibly implement all these systems and infrastructure due to high costs. This is where Farm Park's collaborative ecosystem offers a unique solution:

​

A commercial goat farm typically requires:

1. Breed and Genetics Management System

2. Health and Veterinary Care System

3. Scientific Nutrition and Feeding System

4. Professional Farm Management and Record Keeping

5. Value-Added Product Processing

6. Direct Marketing and Sales System

7. Waste Utilization System

8. Side Businesses (e.g., Poultry Farming)

9. Onsite Feed Production

10. Grass Cultivation and Trained Staff

 

A minimum level setting up these systems individually can cost over ₹3.5 crore (excluding land) for a farm with 1000 goats. This cost is neither viable nor affordable for individual farms, leading to inefficiencies, higher risks, and lower profitability.

The Solution- Farm Park:

The Farm Park Ecosystem offers a solution by enabling farms to collaborate and share resources. The ecosystem will house 10-20 farming companies at first stage, each with 500-1000 goats, that will collaborate in every possible area to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. By time it will grow to the unity of 40-50 farm companies under farm park.

In this ecosystem, all essential systems (breeding, health, feed production, product processing, marketing, professional management etc.) will be shared among the farms. This reduces the setup and operational costs to one-fourth of what it would be for an individual farm. With this collaboration, each farm member can run smoothly, with reduced risks and failure chances.

Key Features of the Farm Park Ecosystem:

1. Shared Infrastructure: Centralized facilities for breeding, health care, feed production, product processing, and marketing reduce costs by over 50%.

2. Professional Management: Standardized farm management practices and ongoing training reduce costs, enhance productivity, and reduce operational inefficiencies.

3. Value-Added Processing: The ecosystem includes a modern meat processing unit and cold storage, enabling farms to sell value-added products rather than raw livestock, increasing profit margins.

4. Market Access: A centralized marketing and sales department ensures better market penetration and direct-to-consumer sales channels, leading to higher prices and increased revenue.

5. Risk Management: The collaborative model significantly reduces risks through shared health and veterinary services, along with centralized crisis support.

Farm Company Setup and Investment

• Farm Park: At first stage, a collective of 10-20 farms 

• Farm Size: Each farm will have 500-1000 goats, with an option to add 5000-10000 broiler chickens as a side business.

• Land Requirement: Considering grass cultivation, a farm with 1000 goats (and 10000 chickens) requires 30-50 acres of land, which will be leased long-term.

• Cost: Setting up a farm within this ecosystem will cost Rs 1.35 crore to Rs 2.5 crore, depending on the number of goats and poultry. Without collaboration, costs would nearly double, and profits would be 30% lower.

• Investment Model: Each farm will have 2-5 entrepreneurs, depending on size, each investing Rs 10 lakh. With government grants and subsidies, and other funding sources, the capital required is well-optimized.

Key Highlights:

• Cost Efficiency: A farm with 1000 goats can be set up with all necessary systems for ₹2-2.2 crore (including contributions to common infrastructure like processing and marketing). A farm with 500 goats can be set up for ₹1.2 crore.

• Side Businesses: Adding poultry farming (5000-10,000 broiler chickens) alongside goat farming adds only ₹20-50 lakh to the total cost, further boosting profitability.

• Profitability: In the Farm Park ecosystem, a farm with 500 goats and 5000 chickens can generate a net income of ₹60-75 lakh per year, while a farm with 1000 goats and 10,000 chickens can earn ₹125-160 lakh per year.

• Shared Infrastructure: The ecosystem will include centralized facilities such as a modern meat processing unit, cold storage, marketing setup, a feed manufacturing unit, and common breeding and veterinary services. These shared facilities drastically reduce costs for individual farms.

Farm Park Vision:

• Initial Production Goal: 10,000 goats and 8-10 lakh chickens per year.

• 5 Year Goal: 50,000 goats and 50 lakh chickens per year.

• 7 Year Goal: IPO

Location:

The Farm Park will be established in Madhya Pradesh or Karnataka, chosen for land availability, feed resources, low cost labor, and proximity to major markets. Each farm with 1000 goats (and 10,000 chickens) will require around 30-50 acres of land. The plan is to lease land long-term, with initial discussions with authorities already underway.

Management & Ownership Structure:

• Each farm will be an individual company (LLP or Pvt Ltd) with 2-5 co-founders/partners.

• Bigrowtec will provide all the necessary support, allowing farm owners to focus on daily operations and business growth without distractions.

• Capital Requirement: Each farm needs a capital investment of ₹1.35-2.5 crore, depending on the number of goats and chickens. Entrepreneurs will contribute 20% of this capital, and government grants and subsidies (₹50 lakh for a unit with 500 goats) will cover a significant portion. The remaining funds will be raised through equity investments, bank loans, and other channels, with Bigrowtec assisting in securing financing.
