In autumn, many summer residents rejoice - the potato harvest turned out to be great. And after collecting a tasty and nourishing vegetable, some grab their heads: "Where do we go?" But surplus potatoes can be successfully sold.
Instructions
Step 1
Visit neighbors who do not have summer cottages and relatives in the village. Surely many of them will be happy to buy a couple of bags of your selected potatoes.
Step 2
Agricultural fairs and exhibitions are held in many cities in autumn. Offer them products from your garden. If you do not want to trade at the fair yourself, agree with one of the sellers to take your goods for sale.
Step 3
There is no way to get to such fairs? You can also sell potatoes to the owners of grocery stores or traders in the market. It is rare that an entrepreneur refuses to take good quality products for his outlet. Some even post advertisements outside the store that they will buy potatoes and other vegetables from local farmers.
Step 4
Also offer surplus crops to owners of canteens, cafes and restaurants. Here, however, a problem may arise - catering outlets that have been operating for a long time have food suppliers from whom they buy everything they need. And not every chef will change a trusted vegetable seller. But it's still worth offering your harvest. Suddenly someone is looking for a batch of good potatoes.
Step 5
In addition, it is worth contacting small companies engaged in the production of starch, chips and other potato products. Many of them buy raw materials from private traders.
Step 6
Owners of pig farms will gladly buy small potatoes. As a rule, farmers rarely have cash. But as an option, you can negotiate a barter - you are food for pigs, in return - meat.
Step 7
If you are engaged in potato cultivation professionally, you have your own limited liability partnership or individual entrepreneur, sell the crop to the state. Apply to participate in the procurement tender. So your potatoes may end up in canteens of kindergartens, schools, hospitals and other social facilities.
