Farming Philippines - 7 Hidden Costs in Buying A Farm (True Story) 

1.fence cost 2.electricity access 3.water access /supply 4.clearing road / cemented road 5.kubo/ rest place 6.seedling cost 7maintenance

My sister has a 2 hectare farm in Batangas. Instead of using a jack pump or submersible pump, she opted for a wind driven pump so her water supply no longer needed electricity. So when I also have my own farm, I will have to ask my brother in law to help me fabricate and install the wind power equipment for the pump.

nice sharing sir. thank you very much.

So informative and detailed sarap mag farming one day magkakaroon din ako ng organic farm😊

Your vlog is very useful lalo na sa kagaya ko na nagbabalak mag put up ng farm.Ang dami ko palang dapat i consider before buying farm land.

Thank You Also for Sharing This Impomative Video.

Thank you brother for sharing your experiences. Because of your vlog I was enlightened on the unforeseen expenses that I would encounter. It used to be that I consider the productive plants inside, the view, terrain, access road quality and distance to town proper. I also considered the source of water for my fisheries project. Things I overlooked are the power source and fencing. Again, thank you!!

Very nice Sir and if possible can you include safety and security for Farm Lots? Thanks

Ganda po ng farm progress.God bless po.

I'll put to mind all your inputs. thank you. so excited to have my own farm.. ☺ 😍 🙏🏻

I agree on all of the seven costs you listed which we also experienced (but no fence yet). Unfortunately, I have 1 more big expense in our farm, legal fees, for a dispute with my neighboring land, Yep, this was hidden and the kind of expense you don't want in your farm. Lesson learned for me, so hopefully, I'll make a similar video to share my experience 🙁

Salamat sir sa pag share ng experience

salamat po!!! 😊

Thank you for the generosity of sharing your experience. This is valuable to me.

may mga paraan para pababain ang gastos na yan…. 1. Bakod wag ka bumili, magtanim ka ng kawayan sa perimeter….kawayang tinik, sa loob ng isang taon ay may bakod ka na maganda pa. wag ka lang magiiwan muna nag mga mahahalagang pwedeng bitbitin sa farm mo, hindi naman mabibitbit mg magnanakaw ang lupa mo. 2. kuryente, kung producing farm (na hindi livestock) hindi naman malaki ang consumo nun, pero kung aircon sa farm?!, e di gumastos ka sa solar. kung water pump lang, sa 50k may solar powered pump ka na kasama na tangke, then use GRAVITY. 3. Tubig…sinabi ko na solar pumps and ingenuity…. 4. Pagpapatabas at linis, ikaw ang gumawa, magbigay ng arawang sweldo sa mga taong tutulong sa una, tapos bili ka gamit. Grasscutter. Kailangan mo rin naman sa maintenance. 5. Danan…kalsad ba gusto mo ipagawa, bakit mo naman kse dadalin ang mercedes mo dun, motor, para di kailangan ng kalsada, clearing lang ng lupa. 6. kubo, ang mahal yero…pero nagtabas ka diba, gamit kawayan…so labor lang yan…pero oo naman may gastos… 7. Seedlings, kaya ka nga nag farm e, ikaw rin ang magtanim….ikaw gumawa ng seedlings mo….plastic seedling bag lang ang gastos tapos pagmamahal at alaga sa mga halaman at puno mo.Maintenance? oo passeldo sa taompero mag operate ka kse. In gist hidden naman yan hidden cost, naging magastos lang sayo kse dinadala mo naman ang suidad sa nayon e….kung pupunta ka sa nauon, mabuhay kang taga nayon, di yung nasa nayon ka pero gusto mo nasa suidad ka sa comforts….it requires thought indeed….

Syiempre kailangan mo ang necessities (electricity and water) to survive.

Add waste treatment and drainage costs too!

Napakaganda ng content. May tanong lang po sana ako kung possible po ba na mag solar panel lang instead na mg patayo ng poste? Salamat po.

sir, natarget ako ng video mo... ganda nito sir... sobrang totoo talaga! sobrang gastos ng farm!

Thanks for sharing, Sir.

thank you for this video. Can you share what businesses are good for a farm in Laguna?

Maraming salamat po sa information!malaking tulong po!God bless🙏

New subscriber here galing niyo naman po Sir....Very informative topic niyo ,im so thankful na browse ko vlog niyo buti na lang na i share niyo po. gawa din po kayo vlogs un process ng pag request naman sa local govt o lgu kung gaano katagal din po. Ganda ng business niyo sir

thankyou so much very knowledgeable

Thank you for this "eye opener". You haven't even started farming yet andami na gastos. Whew.

Wow very informative sir

Hello Jerry, love the video. How did you get the costs for electricity supply down from 600,000 to 250,000? What was the name of the company? Keep up the great work 👍

The best!

salamat bro...God bless

Salamat sir sa mga info, sino ang contractor niyo sir? ang mahal nun sakin regarding sa bakod na lupa. 353 sqm lang po e 29k.

How about opting for solar panel for both electricity and water instead of the usual line?

Ibig sabihin kapag i dagdag pa natin ang inflation at taxes sa pag develop at pag acquire ng farm need tayo ng around 5 milyon pesos roughly, di pa la ganon kadali mag farm at ang saklap pa dito pag may produkto na tayong maibenta halos hihingiin nalang ang presyo sa sobrang baba at kagaya ng seboyas bombay price from farmer 15 pesos per kilo tapos ang bentahan sa merkado umabot ng 800 pesos per kilo kaya yong ibang farmer nagbigti nalang sa sobrang lungkot. kawawa mga farmer sa pinas lalo na yong mga maliliit lang yong tipong mahirap na farmer kasi may iba naman na mayamang farmer. sana may batas para sa lahat ng farmer para may protection sila against middleman pagdating sa bentahan ng mga produkto nila.

About electricity , can you talk about Solar and grid tie, permits and process, and savings if any, and if there is available small wind generators., I have seen some vlogs (Top Mix vlogger) of farms with wind powered water pumps, Ilocos / Nueva Ejicia regions , I want the possibility of OffGrid living , and Organic farming, only Veggies , fruits and chickens and goats.

Its very expenseble why u should not try the solar more or lesthan 4 to 6 panel board were bring u all u need yet refregirator, electrict fan, tvs, water supply etc

Hi! Can you recommend any agent for buying farm? Thank you!

Kung di for profit ang gusto mo lang recreation farm. Bumile ka na lang 1000sq m. At magtanim ng yun vegetable kahit sa subdivision pwede gawin yun. At least available lahat tubig, koryente. Huag ng magpauso epek at pagaya gaya epek kahit may pera kang ibibile kung di mo naman hilig magtanim. Yes indeed mahal ang maginvest ng farm. Tapos wala pang title,rights lang jos ko day baka kung sino sino na ang may ari na pasa pasa lang at papel ang kasulatan. Kung may title at may pera sige bilhin siguraduhin mong marami kang pera. Eh kung kunti lang iinvest mo nalang sa paupahan naapartment at least may income kaagad kahit patay ka na di mo pa nababawi yun return of investment mo at least pwede ipamana sa anak. Sa farm maghihire ka pa ng tauhan magtabas ng damo, magtanim ng puno o gulay. Jos mio gastos yan eh kung rich ka di sige buy ng farm. Kung hindi business ang gagawin sa farm huag ng bumile. Magtanim na lang sa paso. Buti na lang di ako bumile. Just imagine wala ako space sa bahay ko sa paligid lang ng bakod ko ako nagtanim mixture of ornamental plants, veggies and fruit seeds. Namunga ang kamatis, talong okra. Eh.meron expiration pala ang plants na eto pagkatapos mamunga, natutuyo at namamatay na. Lahat fruit seeds ko tumubo at wala pang three years namunga ang lemon ko. Mga sili ko namunga, siguro in 5 yrs mamumunga ang rambutan, lansones at avocado ko sa gilid lang mga bakod ko tinubo. So kailanga ko pa ba ng farm?

Ganda ng learnings..balak qng bumili ng 500sqm lot sa province na medyo barrio to enjoy retirement house..hnd q naisip ung mga cons n tuh..tnx and more power

Thank you

Stumbled upon your video. Very informative especially the pricing. Thanks po.

I am dead set to meet you someday for your precious advice and guidance...!!!

Hi, enjoyed your vlogg , new sub here and watching from Canada and wanting to retire in the Philippines, small hobby farm, where is your farm ? Cavite?and where do you think it is good to relocate? I want about 5000 SQM to a hect.

What about solar as another source nang electricity? Cosr efficient kaya?

Very informative. Baka magback out na lang ako bumili hehhe😂

New subscriber here

Thanks You!

Thank you for the info

Maraming Salamat sa paglabas ng katotohanan.

Sir ang ganda ng topic mo. Sir pwedeng malaman saang beach resort yang lugar na yan.

May transfer of title fee pa di ba? Kasi nakabili ako ng farm tapos hinuhulugan ko every month...tapos sabi i need to pay 42k para sa transfer title fee

Basta may water source at own road panalo na yun

hi, which beach is this ?

Saan pwede bumili reputable farm. Ang dami kasi farm online nakakalito.

How about Tax? Magkano every year?

Kayo po ung may ari ng iNest sa Silang?

Of course you buy a farm with a purpose, most cases for business with r.o.i..if the purchase is only intended for a rest house or retirement house then it doesnt need to be a regular farm size property running by the hectare, around 300-400 sqmts will do the job.

Hi Jerry, Where did you film this video? What a beautiful beach...

Hello new here

Kalbaryo ang may property dito sa Pinas kaya ayaw ko na mag-invest dito.

Regarding electricity,why not make use of Solar System which i think is very much cheaper

Detailed to opic on submersible pump

Agree po ..we my husband invest at overlooking farm .. magastos sobra .. Kasi DP develop ... SA Ngayon Po ay medyo ayos ayos na ... Pagod at Pera sa pinangarap Namin na farm.. gusto ko na sumuko😓

How to earn?
