Hi All,
I am planning to buy agricultural land and unable to decide on the place. Pls let me know your opinion/ choice with a reason if you can.
Thanks
Hi Bro
I suggest considering the following points before finalizing the land to be purchased for Agriculture
- Agricultural crop - you are planning e.g. Tree plantation /animal husbandry /Areca /coffee /tea, integrated forming, Flower crops etc.
- The soil type, climatic conditions - required for the Agri crop or business that you have planned. In general Mountain/hills soils are more fertile than plains or seashore. Red soil is more suitable for tree crops. Bangalore and Hosur climate are best suited for poly house fruits and veg cultivation.
- Water availability : either River water or open/bore well- water yield/supply, The average rainfall and the flooding conditions, water stagnation/drainage nature of the soil shall be considered, which permits/restricts certain crops which should not affect your plan.
- Labor availability and cost: which is a big issue in agriculture now a days. because Agriculture is labor oriented. the efficiency of labor differs from place to place. Political influence on the available workforce/labor - also to be considered.
- Market for your agricultural products: If it is close to any city /Town it is better or if having own transport volume of output expected feasibility or transport to be accounted.
- Management of farm: From where you are going to manage the farm. Agriculture requires direct attention from the owner to be efficient and profitable. Better arrangement to stay at farm site is better but there are cases who monitor through CCTV which is costly and may not compromise direct owner inspection at site and it will have its own impact in managing a farm.
- Road connectivity to the farmland: to move your equipment for cultivation purpose as well as to transport the Agro products.
All the above said points have to be analyzed before buying any agricultural land - in this case Karnataka or Tamil Nadu both are ok.
