1 Farms with up to 9 dairy cows • 80% от dairy farms with 30% of animals; • Maintenance of such a flock is economically unjustified, unless the owner has no additional income from other activities; • With milk yield of 3 tonnes per head the generated income is below the official poverty line for the country; • With milk yield of 5 tons potential income of a household is approximately equal to the income generated from minimum wage; 1 Farms between 10 - 19 dairy cows • Maintaining a farm with 20 animals and average milk yield of 3 tons is not economically justified; • At an average yield of 5 tons/cow a farm can not be sustainable if farm gate prices decrease below 55 st/l; • Farm with 15-20 animals and over 7 tons yield can be relatively stable even in times of price shocks; 1 Farms between 20 - 49 dairy cows • These are 4% of all farms that breed 1/4th of the cows in Bulgaria; • With the expected price dynamics in the coming years, an average yield of at least 7 t/head is absolutely necessity; • Closing the production cycle by processing may be a good solution for some farms. 1 Coupled support for 2015 Dairy cows Cows or heifers for meat Dairy cows and / or cows for meat under selection control • Farms >10 dairy cows – BGN 240 /head • Farms > 5 cows or heifers – BGN 223 /head • Farms > 10 cows – BGN 387 /head 1 The fundaments of a successful dairy farm are well knows: Proper genetics Quaity Feed Good Management INTELIAGRO IS: • NGO for public benefit OUR MAIN GOAL: • Development of sustainable and competitive agriculture AND WE PLAN TO FULFILL IT BY: • Gathering an expert team and building a platform that provides access to information, analysis, data and expertise in key areas of agriculture PUBLIC BENEFIT • Analysis on strategic issues; • Public hearings; • Comments and impact assessment of public policies; • Maintenance of databases with statistical information on the sector: • land use • crop breeding • livestock breeding • macro data INTELIAGRO WILL LINK PEOPLE WITH EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE TO THOSE IN NEED Agronomists Analysts Irrigation techniques Financial consultants Zooengineers Experst in animal feeding HOW WE CAN SERVE YOU • • • • • Initial assessment of a project; Financial analysis; SWOT analysis of the investment project; RDP projects writing; Consultation on the basis of soil samples; Tips for growing crops; selection of appropriate cultivars and rootstocks; • Preliminary, feasibility study and project consulting and implementation for dairy farms; • Subscription service for timely notification in the event of legislative changes; • Market research, analysis and forecasts. 4 Thank you www.inteliagro.bg [email protected]
