You are 100% right, normaly a farang cant buy land, but in a Thai limited co, u can there is many ingenieus ways that farang can own things in Thailand, i would suggest talking to your embassy and finding out.

Thanks for the heads up tho

I believe 100k per rai is pretty cheap around where i live, i wana get into farming because it interests me and from what ive seen over the years is one of the only businesses that ""can"" work in isaan..

It isnt my only project but the 1 im most researching at the moment.

My wife and her family dont own land that would be suitable for farming cattle or farming in general.

I wana buy a nice plot of land for myself anyways because i wana try and make a self sustaining house/land with fruit/vegetable/livestock/fish etc

Thanks for the responds

Thanks kickstart for that tip, I do believe there are several vets around my area because we have alot of pig farmers and chicken farmers, not sure about cows tho will have to do some more research into this, thanks for the tip.

Itchibum, i agree with u that im going to have to take some courses and am planning to do so , thanks.

I have tought about this problem to, i know one thai man working in a slaughter station, and talked to him about it, he is willing to ""learn "" how to cut the cow in a different way as maximizing the prime cuts, if it can be done i dont know..

But i have heard of farang butchers in Thailand so must be an option somehow..

Thank u Zeichen for your reaction, if i decide to do this i would start small and keep my investment down, the prices of land around here are around 100k a rai.

Ive been on farms alot just never owned one, i have alot to learn and willing to do so.

Also i have a brother inlaw who is currently in a 6 year studie to become a japanese chef, he will be ready in about 2 years and open up shop in Buriram.

To david,

I agree with you that will need a solide plan but im not at that stage yet, as for the selling point, a niche product like Wagyu is favored all over the world, and the price/market is all about the quality of the marbeling. If the marbeling is of a very high quality the market might consist of high class restaurants, if its less it would be better for normal restaurants or market sales. If its crap id stop

First il need to visite the exsisting farms, and maybe a trip to Japan before i decide to actually do it.

to Itchybum,

I think so to, the landsize wont be to much of a problem tho around my area land is still cheap, and these cows wont be running around that much mostly relaxing and getting a thai massage, without happy end tho..

As for the food, the original Kobe get fed on apples, so id need to find a Thai fruit with the same suger/starch composition and might need to grow it myself to keep cost down, i was thinking of banana, higher sugar but easy and cheaply available/growable.

Also there daily beer brand isnt decided on!

to Slapout,

That is verry true, but i think with a product like Wagyu when its all about quality and small farms do great in japan to i would not need a verry large farm, also im only 26 retirment is a bit early for me at this stage and i got various projects thats im looking into, Wagyu just always seemd like a good thing to do, but impossible where i come from because of the extremely high cost.

Thank u all for your imput !

Well i believe if u can produce a truely premium product u can sell it for a high price, same as the original wagyu beef, but i expect the first years to be more of a learning curve and making a decent herd.

Wagyu massaged ducks.. who knows must be some chef somewhere willing to pay a premium

That will be dependent on the quality I can produce i think David,

Thanks for that, the question about the Blue's wasnt for myself, my brother works for Delaval in Belgium and asked me if there where any Blue's there, i agree 100% with wat u said.

My main interest is for the Black Wagyu cows, just seems like a fun project and if all goes wrong, id have alot of prime beef for myself haha.

Im not planning on getting rich in Thailand, dont think its possible for a farang in Isaan, but enough to pay the bills and a few beers should keep me happy, thanks for your imput.

There is one company in Surin.

Thank u so much

yeah thats gonna be a problem, but since its Thailand im sure something can be done

Would rly be awsome if i could breed some prime beef in my area

I think thats the only other option, and i believe u should always mix with a native specie for antibodies etc.

But if i could buy from an alrdy excisting stock it would be easier i think

Thanks so much for all the responds, its all realy helpfull, gonna get some1 to translate those Thai pages for me Packdee, but great to see there is alrdy a herd of them close to where i live!

Means i dont need to worry about import laws etc

Hello,

Im wondering if anybody knows if there are wagyu farms in Thailand, and if not if its possible to import them, ive been looking around the interweb found out that America, Australia, Belgium, Netherlands all have wagyu farms but could not find a Thai one.

Thanks in advance!
