Hello Everyone… Currently I am working as a software engineer in an MNC but more importantly I am from a vilaage in Kushinagar (Uttar Pradesh). We have about 12 acres of farming land where from ages we have been cultivating crops like Wheat, Rice, Sugarcane. The earnings from these crops is hardly 2.5 - 3 Lakhs annually.
I am planning to try and cultivate some new crops which could give a better return. I have seen in eastern Uttar Pradesh region especially near Kushinagar/Gorakhpur that there is no help or rather vision from farmers in our region. If you go to the near by place Varanasi there is a great culture of farming there. There are good local Markets to consume these products. But in Gorakhpur area there is no such opportunity. Lately, people have started growinh Peppermint.
Now, my query here is What is it that I can cultivate or grow which can yield better returns. Please with all respect , don’t suggest Fruits or vegetables because there are some reasons behind not growing them. " Sab loot le laagenge"… You can’t protect those… There a re other reasons as well.
If you could suggest me some medicinal plants or anything which could help me earn better.

I want to start with Greenhouse farming. I don’t get to hear a lot positive statement from the people live around here.
If there is anybody in and around Nagamangala already into Greenhouse farming /organic cultivation, Please do wire to me with your expertise dos/don’ts.

I noticed couple of females showing interest in farming which is commendable. I thought it would help if they get to interact with fellow female who has been farming for a while and willing to share her knowledge. I would strongly suggest visiting Ms. Shilpa’s farm and interacting with her to jumpstart the process. Her contact info is at the end of the following video. All the best.

Hi everybody,
I am planning to cultivate Aloe-Vera in approx. 100 acre’s land. Can any one suggest me about this? where I got detail information about it’s production and marketing and also it’s profit loss analysis. Is there any consultancy available for it? Please reply.
Greetings Everyone,
I am planning to take up agriculture as a full time activity,though new to me, am not new to farming.I have
successfully raised vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, cucumber,bhendi,banana etc.,) in the apartment where I stay, in
addition to flowers and decorative foliage. I have been a service engineer and am quite familiar with mechanical and
electronic devices. I have been researching about agriculture for quite sometime now and I feel confident I can take up
farming successfully.
A friend of mine is willing to lease me his land of about four acres close to Hyderabad for this purpose.I would like to go in
for seasonal vegetables and fruits as the turn around time is short and returns I believe are good.I want to start it in the
conventional method or open precision farming and slowly move towards Organic (NPM,ZBNF etc.,)and integrated farming. Hydroponics/Aquaponics is also another area which interests me immensely.
I have been a member of FARMNEST since October last and have been very avidly following all the post here.I request
knowledgeable members of the community for their valuable suggestion and advice to help me start my venture.
Thanks in advance.
George
Hyderabad.
dear George,

we are a few friends who want to give up our respective careers and start farming. We have planned to buy 100 acres of land in a distance of about 150 kms from indore ( our present location.) After buying the land, we may be able to scape up a maximum of about 2 crores for the running and infrastructure of this land till it starts delivering. As of now we have planned 30 acres of pomegranates and 60 acres seasonal for the first 3 yrs till first batch becomes fruiting. then we increase pomegranates to 60 and reduce seasonal to 30 and so on. reason for going slow on pome is to reduce risk.
among the seasonal we are in a fix. we have so far planned kusum (safflower) from nov to march, sunflower during summer and ground nuts (peanuts) for monsoon. we plan to leave one acre for ginger and turmeric as well so that we have mother rhizomes to plant about 15 acres each. The thought underlining this is that ginger and turmeric are expensive to plant on vast areas and growing mother rhizomes could be a better idea. Sunflower is hardy and ideal of novice like us plus we may try honeybee with it as well. monsoon gives us only 2 choices - soya and peanuts… soya being bad for the soil we are considering peanuts. Idea behind safflower is also that it is hardy and giving cash in 5 months.
Truth is that while enthusiasm is high, neither of us is experienced in the art (architecture, marketing field guys). We are nature loving people who want to go organic and the kinds who are willing to soil our clothes.
Your good advice could make our lives… thanks!
I have 5acres land in SIKAR(Rajasthan) and I am living in Delhi NCR .I have been cultivated Aloe vera in my land but I failed in this project due to marketing of Aloe vera Leaves.
