Making Big Money With Only 5 rai And Rainfed.

[soalbundy]

We sale mangos and jackfruit a to a company to export to china in our village!

Pinapple in north east not grow in same quality then in the south!

One problem still present

The price what export company's here pay is a joke. No matter what fruit you sale!

I still looking away to export direct to china without a deal between!

Or better to Europe , found many German websites sale mixed basket of this fruits 10 kg for 70€

Here the rubell begins to roll..

Is there a license needed export to Europe?

The other side of the medal is

That no one talk about here are use of chemicals

The export company here in village

Export mangos to japan , was a strict agreement not using chemicals

But Thais here try to cheat the Japanese one time thinking maybe

Japanese not would recognize it when we use chemicals , the result was thausends of mangos come back to Thailand

If Japanese cheated again we change supplier was the aswer

, and sale to company's in Europe

Is even more difficult cos of high standarts

If some knows more about fruit import rules to eu send pm!

Thanks!

Ask at the German embassy they are very helpful

on this site the wholesale price, is 20 baht per fruit at the bottom of the page are number 76, price depending of the size, plants are changed, because every successive fruit is smaller and smaller, otherwise the plant can last 50 years. So according to that site where wholesale prices are exposed, the price is 20baht x kg. There are some pdf online also for organic farming they say about 50.000 plants for 10.000 sq meter.

emiubon . Just need to Google Translate and all is good.

Here is a couple snapshots, couldn't do a snip pic while the cursor is pointing at the "current wholesale price".

This is what it said, not what i said ...and "baby" refers to "per fruit" when translated.

Ha, this is funny.

A large pineapple would weigh easily 3 kg or more.

the table just confirms the post above quoting 7/kg which is extra ordinarily high.

Last year it was just 5 Baht - that is fact so your friends have been lying to you.

Somo,do you realise how childish you look to the farming members of this forum with your constant sniping.If you have no worthwhile contribution to make here ,there is a ladies forum you may be more suited to.

ozzy if correcting lies and misinformation is childish and not a contribution here that is just your opinion for which I don't give a stuff. I will carry on doing it as I don't really care what you or others think. You have history in knocking the idea that anyone could make just 5k/rai from cassava yet 200k from pineapples is no problem. This obsession with being politically correct and "nice" is ridiculous. It seems that you and others are more concerned with what other forum members think of you than you are with the truth. Get a life.

I repeat - anyone who believes the figures in the OP are are being misled and I won't stop sayng it. Please prove me wrong if you can.

hmm.Im not trying to add to the bitchfight going on here BUT lol.I think the pinaple being talked about is a non acidic sweet pinaple.20 bart in the shop but not on the farm.Also not a 3 kg pinaple eiter.They are a small pineaple.

Reminds me of when we came to thai.We did all our maths on rubber farming.Same when we decided to plant bananas qnd chilli plants too.Not to mention our ducks lol.Everything works out very differently when you actually do something than just doing the maths.

Allways a lot less than on paper.

Lighten up you guys.

eminbon, you are a card mate...Awesome !

I THANK YOU emiubon for your contribution and appreciate very links to Thai language website, especially

PhuLaeChiangRai.com with current wholesale price of "their" business.

Here's some screenshots both in Thai and English (translated).

As usual just a note, this are the current prices of "Phu Lae" variety offered by only some wholesalers (not scammers) but doesn't apply to all in general (ChiangRai)...and a word of advice is, please check with your own area and follow up on current affair for wholesale prices. Might work and might not work. All conditions apply.

I thank you for your patient. Again this is not my plantation, it belongs to my neighbour.

Cheers and i wish you all well in your endeavours.

Hopefully this will be my last statement, if i find anything interesting which would arouse my spider senses, i will let you guys know...or maybe i won't.

Next ! - Jingthing

[RedBullHorn]

Oh i forgot to mention... In the website that emiubon posted. It said price include shipping. My neighbour include his transportation cost too forwarding his load to his wholesaler.

[somo]

RBH the prices above are what the company sells for and as you say include transport which can be a lot.

They will not buy at that price.

Below is a graph of wholesale prices that tells the true story.

This is last years information. As well, it is based on orders of one hundred kg or more, and is a selling price, not buying. Totally unrelated information to this thread. Not sure why RBH likes this.

If you are going to post something in thai, you should take the time to read it. Even google translate can give you an idea of the translation and sometimes it is reasonably accurate.

Again, these are wholesale selling prices from the buyers who buy from the farms, and are completely irrelevant to the thread which is based on growing pineapple and selling to the wholesalers at farm gate prices.

This word- " จำหน่าย " means to distribute or sell. Watch for this word. Or perhaps get your eyes checked.

There I am.... arguing with the idiot again.

[RedBullHorn]

To do business, most people understand the concept of wholesale, trading as middleman, retail and contract farming.

There are plantation pictures all over the Phulae Chiang Rai website that emiubon had contributed. Wholesale IS farmgate.

Just because my neighbour are poorly raised and deprived from the opportunity of a higher education and doesn't have a website...doesn't mean that they will be left out of the platform. They just couldn't go as far and wide or nationwide and global. The least they could do is that they are lucky to have her brother as a middleman to connect them and also to act as a manager to distribute their Phu Lae pineapples to retailers or other wholesalers to cope with orders. This site have a fine print saying that there's a limit for a single order, *must not exceed 250kg per order.

When one's business is as big as them the word distribution comes into play. They will have varies department like operations, finance and marketing. Thus having not but one middleman like my neighbour do but practically nationwide, connecting all the middleman through the internet...while my neighbour would not even try to fiddle with an Android smartphone. He preferred the remote control.

There are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant.

It clearly seems that your level of intelligent is not on par but several level lower in business exposure point of view.

I understand...It take times...which you don't have.

90% of their plantation are Phu Lae. 20 Thb/kg are for that variety that they get for "THEIR" wholesaler.

I like emiubon post because he found a Thai language website.

RBH stop trolling. You know that you made up this entire thread just to keep you from being bored. There is no one in Thailand making money from farming. Everyone that farms sells their crops for less than what the operating costs are. Every single province and every single wholesaler pays the same rate for crops as the retailer. There is never fluctuation in different species.

Oh, for those that don't understand by now, I am being sarcastic.

Thanks again for describing what your NEIGHBORS did. It is nice to see people share sucess stories.

I really don't know why a thread like this is 6+ pages for just banter and argument.

The original post was very informative and shows that farmers can be sucessful.

This is the farming forum. We are here to share information about farming. We do not call each other liars. We do not find that such comments make posts interesting only offensive. We respect those that have real life experience farming in Thailand. We all want to help others join the life we follow. Farmers are optimists and abhor negativity for negativities sake.

I'm a bit late in on this ... I was given a 'Holiday' ...

About Pineapples, I know next to naught, but I like to keep an open mind.

What I do know about are Fish (Pla Nin) and Shrimp/Prawns (White variety).

What I do believe is that, as Farmers, want to be Farmers, folk who Partners are Farmers, Hobby Farmers, Farmers struggling to turn a profit, Farmers turning a (nett) profit ... collectively we are better if we support each other.

The OP, who I have never met, has bought a business idea to us, nay, an obversation of what his neighbour does, some have supported it, others have analysed and dissed it.

For me, I simply enjoyed reading it without passing judgement.

[somo]

As I said previously I don't think RBH is out to deceive us but I do feel he has been lied to and
will not accept that he was taken in. His neighbours have been winding him up for whatever reason.

He considers himself a special businessman with an eye for an opportunity and threw us ordinary people a scrap. (some of us do just as well if not better but don't shout about it) He constantly brags on TVF about how clever he is and how stupid anyone who challenges him is so it is understandable he finds it difficult to be found to be so gullible concerning pineapple farming of which he has no experience. He clearly knows about fish and I congratulate him in making a succes of them.
Those of us that do have agricultural experience knew immediately we saw the OP that it was ridiculous and said so. Since then the "please be nice" brigade have for some reason sought to defend RBH. God knows why as he is probably the rudest poster here. They get upset whenever anyone speaks their mind because they consider this "their forum" and think they own it. Sorry guys but you don't so stop telling us all to be nice and positive and try contributing to the discussion.
The fact remains that RBH cannot substantiate the claims of his friends and that no one here should get involved in pineapples based on his advice. As long as that message gets across loud and clear to the membership here then us "naysayers" have done the right thing.
Having said that if you have a pineapple company that will purchase your harvest close to you it could be worthwhile but be realistic and expect profits of around 5k/rai/year which ain't too bad.
