BREEDING PIGS FOR DRIED MEAT PRODUCTS

Our business idea involves breeding the Slovenian autochthonous breed of pigs for dried meat products. The breeding of the Slovenian autochthonous pigs decreased significantly in the last century. Hopefully, it is getting more and more popular these days also due to the tasty meat which contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Customers also appreciate pork and dried meat products made at home. The Slovenian autochthonous breed of pigs is suitable for extensive breeding. Pigs are kept on fresh grass. They can adjust to different outdoor conditions. Moreover, they are resistant to most of the diseases affecting pigs. Females have a good maternal instinct. Slovenian farmers choose a kinder method of farming - free range. Free-range pigs are not common in Primorska. Firstly, there are less big pig farms. Secondly, farmers choose to raise pigs for themselves. We have been breeding pigs on our farm for a very long time, but we have never had the Slovenian autochthonous breed of

8&GO

8&GO Our business idea involves preparing and selling a variety of fast food breakfasts and snack meals. Customers will be able to choose and combine food in the way that best suits their taste; for example, sweet, healthy or a combination of both. Hungry customers will also be able to have custom made sandwiches, a variety of cereals (chocolate flakes, oat flakes, cornflakes, etc.), delicious baked goods produced by the Pečjak bakery or peanut-butter sandwiches with Nutella, fruits or cream. Fast food market is big; there are many fast food shops but there is also a lot of variation on the market, because many new shops open up and then shortly after close their doors. This business idea could potentially be expanded into a chain of fast food shops with a wider range of meals to choose from. The company could also raise the customers’ awareness of healthy diets and help them make good choices. We expect to earn € 3,700 per month. Rental costs, wages and equipment should c

PROVIDING GARDENING AND LANDSCAPING SERVICES

Our business idea involves providing gardening and landscaping services for homes and businesses in the local area. Sector analysis shows there is a shortage of such companies in our region. We believe that garden service industry has a great potential for growth because people want to have beautiful greenery around their houses. It wholesomely connects indoor and outdoor living spaces so people can relax and enjoy them in the company of friends or family. Competition analysis shows that there are two local competitors. Our approach will be different from theirs in that we will focus on providing a very individualised service and will work closely with our customers to make their wishes a reality in the best way possible. Our services should provide satisfaction to everyone involved, most of all to customers, of course. We hope to make a name for ourselves by delivering high quality services to local customers at reasonable prices. By focussing on local customers, we ensur

Pečno Glamping

Image
Spending holidays in the nature is getting more and more popular, so we have decided to build a small glamping site in the area of Park Pečno in Kanal. We also want to expand the tourist offer in Kanal and to make Kanal a well-known tourist destination. The glamping site will have a mini zoo with domestic animals, such as goats, ducks and ponies. Its visitors, especially children, will be able to take care of them. We will also offer local food from a local eco farm. Visitors will be able to make reservations online and the local products will be sold online, as well. The glamping site will offer a good starting point for recreational activities and tours around Kanal. The park itself already offers an outdoor library, a downhill track, an archery area and a lot of hiking trails. The service focuses on couples and families from Slovenia and abroad. A 90,000 € loan will be needed to start our business. If we pay it back in 20 years, we predict we will reach breakeven within 3

HOME BREWERY

Image
Our business idea involves starting a brewery and making homemade beer. The advantages of our homemade beer will be its ingredients: hops grown in Slovenia, good quality yeast needed for fermentation, spring water which contributes to a better flavour of the beer and organic barley which improves the overall quality of the beer. We will offer unfiltered beer which keeps the original taste without additives and flavour enhancers. To start the business we plan to rent a place in order to meet food safety requirements. We also plan to start with one self-employed person. If necessary, we will employ more people, especially family members. Sector analysis shows there are a lot of breweries in our region and the competition is increasing. Our approach will be different from the competitors’ in that we will focus on making beer using local ingredients. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Instagram will be used for promoting our beer as well as agriculture fairs. To start ou

BEE PRODUCTS

Our business plan involves providing bee products and expanding beekeeping from the current 70 beehives to 140. Beekeeping is considered an additional activity to farming. We will need approximately 18,000 € to start the business. We produce honey, propolis, beeswax and pollen. Last year we also tried producing mead and we were very satisfied with its quality, which encouraged us to expand beekeeping and make mead on our own. Sector analysis shows there are few mead producers in our region. The major threats that could cause trouble for the business are bee diseases and inclement weather which can destroy the habitat for flowers and consequently reduce the collection of pollen. We hope to attract a wide range of customers, from young to older people. We also hope to attract primary schools and kindergartens which could offer our products to children as part of their meals. In our opinion, schools are good at promoting homemade products which are healthy and of an excellent quality
