Republic of Opportunities: The Abdullin family, with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tatarstan, took up sheep breeding
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan pays great attention to the development of small and medium-sized businesses in rural areas. Every week we talk about families who have started their own business with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tatarstan, who stand firmly on their feet and are doing what they love in their native village. The republic has all the possibilities for this.
Rural entrepreneurship has become usual in the Sabinsky District as well.
- It began to develop especially actively when state support programs began to operate, - says the head of the Yulbat rural settlement Talip Shamsiev. - For example, we already have a dozen farmers.
The head of the Abdullin family, Khashim Giniyatovich, last year won the competition of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan within the National Project "Small and Medium Business and Support for Individual Entrepreneurial Initiatives" and became the winner of the competition receiving a 3 million rubles grant. With such strong support, he built an isolated farm, bought sheep, and now he has 180 sheep. In addition, he bought an MTZ-82 tractor, a mower, a baler. There is a lot of work, both strength and tension are needed. His son Fannur, who is almost every day on his father's farm, has his own business - a slaughter.
“By the end of the year, we intend to increase the number of sheep to three hundred,” says Fannour. - Therefore, enough hay has been prepared, for this we have 10 hectares of perennials, natural land. We will also buy oats and various feed components.
The Abdullins are experienced sheep breeders. Therefore, full-fledged feeding of the livestock, uninterrupted watering, regular cleaning of premises is not only the law of the economy, but also their family law. Therefore, their sheep grow well, lambing is normal, and the safety of young animals is at the proper level.
And the Abdullins grow excellent vegetables. Yes, it was Fannur's wife Zilya who began to grow vitamin products on an industrial scale, and also became a farmer.
