Living in the current era has become very terrible, amidst inflation and a difficult economy. Furthermore, I tell how sad it is to live in a developing country that is currently in chaos due to the increase in VAT next year.
Okay, 2025 is coming soon, 2 days have passed since this article was posted. Welcoming 2025 without joy, due to information from the government that VAT will be increased from 11% to 12%. Sad, isn't it?
It would be very happy if per capita income or minimum wages for workers also increased, but the problem is that it only increased by about 9% and was not equivalent to the increase in VAT. Sad? Of course.
Actually, it was already difficult at the beginning of 2024, the increase in the price of basic necessities, especially foods such as chicken, vegetables and rice which was very significant, many people ended up screaming and becoming poorer. Corruption and self-enrichment for officials are prioritized over the welfare of the people.
As a farmer and also the owner of an online shop engaged in agriculture, I really know what is happening and what my customers want. One of them is the repacking of some agricultural materials. I will give an example such as: fertilizer and seeds. These two basic materials in agriculture are very popular now. But everyone wants it in repackaged form.
Buying in large packages may be very difficult for some people. So the way I and everyone survive in this field is to save as much as possible. The form of repackaging is the right solution in today's difficult economy.
These three types of products are indeed one of the best-selling in e-commerce, at least this can benefit 2 parties, me and the buyer. Seeing the opportunity to make repackaging packaging might be very good in the future, I think everyone is trying to survive.
Maybe you will ask, there are 3 types such as gramaxone, urea and seeds in repackaged form. Gramoxone is used to control weeds and wild grass, this is often used by farmers to make it easier for them to clean their land without having to tire themselves out mowing and cutting grass all day long.
While urea is needed to meet the nutritional needs of plants, so that the leaves are greener, the plants are fresher and free from pests. In fact, this can be a solution for plants that often fail to harvest, so that these nutrients provide strength for the plants to continue to grow.
Seeds in repack form are also sold for some people who want to garden with a small terrace. For example, only have a few balconies and pots at home. Usually this is used for those who live in apartments and they want to have their own vegetables at home. There are many types, such as spinach seeds, kale, chilies, parsley leaves, curry leaves and many more that are not mentioned.
And this week, I haven't sown at all because I'm restocking seeds for the next few days and maybe next week I'll start. The weather is very good right now.
Call me Isdarmady, because I have a full name that is very long, namely Isdarmady Syahputra Ritonga. I am a head of the family who work as Farmers Vegetables Hydroponic and Consultant Hydroponics, sometimes I also sell coffee from various regions in Indonesia.
I have expertise dispensing coffee with a variety of techniques and tools brewing, because I have the desire to make a coffee shop with hydroponics as centerpieces. Help me realize that dream.
Thanks for read, vote, re-blog and support me in Hive. Maybe god will reward the kindness, let’s success together.
That makes sense.
I think you've taken a smart approach by repackaging into smaller amounts as most people are amateur or novice gardeners, who only need small portions at a time:)
One of the reasons is that urban farming is trending for people who live in the city, so they always buy repack sizes so they can store them easily and if they don't need them anymore, they don't feel like they've lost out and wasted money.
Nice to see your agriculture project. Very nice process of farming in the garden
of course, very welcome.
You are a great farmer my friend, working in agriculture is not just about knowing but we have to understand what and how our castamer needs, I agree with the way you reduce packing to make it easier for beginner farmers when they need fertilizer at any time, that's cool my friend 👍
feeling a loss because spending money on products with large sizes is sometimes too heavy.
