Business with little capital: Example of success from a family in Chişcăreni
A young family in Chişcăreni, Sîngerei district, demonstrates that businesses can be launched with little money, but still make profit. Four years ago, Nicholas and Olga Midrigan decided to make their future in their village, investing in business with rabbits.
They started with $ 500 and 5 pairs. Now, the couple have a modern farm installed with modern equipment, raising 500 breeding rabbits with good profit.
"We decided to turn our hobby into a business," said Nicolae Midrigan, entrepreneur.
Nicholas is a sportsman and his wife is a physical therapist. In order to start their business, they had to consult specialists.
"The rabbits are selected according to certain criteria. "
The Midrigan spouses have rare type of rabbit on their farm.
"Neo Zealand Rabbits is a albino rabbit. Because it can not have melanin it can not have any color on it, so a black eye is one in a hundred thousand, I think," the entrepreneur explained.
Rabbits are raised in modern cages and fed with special food. Everything is developed as well as possible:
"There are mats inside, so that the rabbits rest on them, not to be cold, not to injure their feet."
At three months of age, the rabbits are sold for reproduction purposes.
In order to develop their business, young people have benefited from many grants. However, they do not stop there. Their enthusiasm and plans are great.
In our country, a rabbit is sold with 400 lei.
