The world population is almost 8 billion. China and India alone have more than 1 billion population each. In order to feed 8 billion people on earth, more food needs to be produced. That’s the reason why food businesses, producers (farmers) and the seller (wholesaler, supplier, retailer), is never a failing business.
The best thing about farming is you can start without any experience, without specialized skills. You don’t even need a lot of investment.
Someone is in the farming business because his parents were farmers and his parents became farmers because their parents were farmers. Therefore, it is common to see a student toiling in the land when he is not at school. During the rice planting season, the schools are shut down for 30 days, so that the students can help their parents in the rice field.
For low-income families in my home country, farming is the only business that can help them become rich.
