With changing times, there is a change in agriculture and agriculture. Farmers are now coming towards flower cultivation in addition to traditional crops so that they are making good profits at low cost. Today we are going to tell you the story of Ravi Paul, a young farmer from Mainpuri, and he shows a new path to agriculture with his hard work and dedication. Ravi Paul earns Rs 35 lakh annually. The cultivation of flowers not only blossomed his life, but a smile on the faces of dozens of farming families.
Jobs in multinational corporations
Ravi Paul is a resident of Bogan’s Sadwagaria village Farmer for India today In 2011, after graduating from the Sachdeva Institute of Management Mathura, he worked in multinational corporations in several states, including Delhi. There was a package of 8 lakhs of the year. In fact his work is related to marketing.
Busa Delhi’s aid of agricultural scientists
Says farmer Ravi, this time I went to Delhi one day to visit Krishi Vijian Kendra (Poosa). I met the country’s famous agricultural scientists there. After talking to those people, my attitude towards agriculture has completely changed. In 2016, he said that a large exhibition was organized by farmers in Busa Delhi. There I got the idea of different kinds of flowers.
Seeds purchased from Thailand, bumper yield
Six months after meeting scientists, Ravi says I left the job and came home to Maininur. From the very beginning, I had the desire to grow flowers in my mind. First, in two picas, Desi Maricold’s seeds were sown by listening. In the first year, the crop was better and the price was good. In the first crop, he got an advantage of 75 thousand rupees. But the yield was reduced because the flower is small. After talking to agricultural scientists, he bought seeds from Thailand. Its yield was about four times compared to Desi Marigold. Since then, I have been constantly listening to the seeds from Thailand.
Add 250-300 farmers with them
They say, but there was a plan to do something great in my mind. We started to connect 250-300 farmers of the village and provide them with the comforts of the seeds and markets sitting at home. In fact, the biggest problem in front of the farmers in the village is that if they cultivate flowers, whether or not they get a good price in the market. I sit in the village and solve these problems. Today’s condition is that farmers are sitting at home with both seeds and markets.
90 bikha
Ravi Paul says that I hear the seed and plant from Calcutta. I offer it to all the farmers, which gives me a good income. My plants and seeds go to Bihar and Jharkhand. After this, he said that this part of marigold cultivation is increasing annually. Today I have more than 10 bigas cultivation, while joining with other farmers with about 90 pixers. Today, the smell of Samanthi, who grew up in his fields, smells in Delhi.
150 Quintal Marigold Flower Production
Every day they send flowers to Delhi, Ettava, Kanpur and Agra. Currently, 90 to 150 Quintal Marigold Flower is produced daily. One kilogram of marigold flower is sold for 20 rupees. That is, quintal of 2000 rupees. At the same time, according to the time and the market, the price fluctuates. Ravi said that Marigold cultivation will never go to the losses. However, a lot depends on the price. If the rate is good, they say that a pikra saves up to 20-30 thousand rupees.
Calcathia Marigold Seed is more required
The Calcutta Marigold seed rate is available for 10-12 thousand rupees per kg because the demand is high. We offer farmers at a rate of 14 to 15 thousand rupees. This makes me profitable. If we look at the two income together, we earn Rs 35 lakh annually. The Marigold crop is made twice a year- the first crop from November to March and the second March to October. Because of this, this proves that agriculture is more beneficial.
