What is the best agriculture based business?

I want to start my own business at WB in Burdwan. This is a agriculture based area. so what should i do?

• The area basically known as potato and rice so in this positions what type of business shoul i go for

• Answer:

  While the town of Burdwan is predominantly within the agricultural belt, the district of Burdwan has a vibrant and burgeoning industrial area stretching from Durgapur to Asansol. The agricultural belt of Burdwan is considered to be the rice bowl of West Bengal as it produces record quantity of rice. Neighbouring district of Hooghly is more famous for potato production. The Durgapur-Asansol industrial belt has huge coal reserves and ferro industries. Incidentally, the industries minister of West Bengal, Mr. Nirupam Sen, hails from Burdwan. Business can be of different types and may allude to trading also. However, your interest seems to lie in production or manufacture. Also you appear to have thought of agricultural goods as raw materials for your production. When we think of potatoes, the product that easily comes to our minds is potato chips. This area with abundant production of potatoes sadly lacks a decent potato chips manufacturing unit. Potato chips manufactured by adhering to health and hygenic standards, attractively packed and competitively priced can make for good business. The thinly shredded potato fries consumed with rice is also a food item with good demand. Besides, potato papads also command a sizeable market. Different brands of rice are produced in this area ranging from Minikit to Banskati. You can sell them in different weight packages as is done with Basmati. They have to be clean and totally free from impurities to compete with the local rice seller. Pricing would also be important. Rice bran oil also commands a sizeable market. You can look into the different production options using rice husk. Hope you have a roaring business soon.
