Can farming be profitable through crop value addition and direct selling ?

- Let me ask a simple question? Which or what is the biggest business community in India? Give this a careful bit of thinking. Would you be surprised, if I say that it is the farming community?
The farmer makes great investments to till the land, to fertilise the soil, to buy seeds and sow crops and then finally harvest the produce. Like a business entrepreneur, the farmer too makes investments, and like an entrepreneur the farmer also hopes to make profits.
But farming is seen as a loss making venture. An average Indian farmer only earns Rs 1 lakh per year. That is not even enough to take care of the investments that a farmer makes, let alone think about profits. And then one has to deal with erratic weather events like unseasonal and excess rain, hailstorms and drought. Therefore 65% of India is struggling. Therefore 65% Indian entrepreneurs are making losses.
Is there a solution to this problem? Down To Earth met Aparna Rajagopal, an organic farmer and entrepreneur, who thinks that just growing food is not enough for a farmer to make profits. Farming can only be profitable, if there is value addition to the produce and sell it directly to the consumer. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

This respected lady must get an award for her thoughts and efforts..
Millions of farmers are doing this for decades without any credit/recognition. They should be awarded first.
Right
From where she is?
Absolutely right. She is an inspiration of right thinking for every one
I agree
If we actually want woman empowerment we should support her via purchasing her products..
If that's all you got from this video, we are doomed as a society.
I am really impressed by your philosophy and effort. May your tribe increase
Farmers Suffers Due to:
1. Price control by middle men.
2.Lack of technical Awareness
3.Lack of infrastructure for storage.
4.Climate change
5. Drought
6.soil degradation due to draught or heavy rainfall.
7. Lack of Knowledge for Best sellers platform.
8.Unaware of updated policies.
True. Hope with the new agri bill..the farmers will benifit.They shall view this bill by using it and not fall in the trap of middle men who are trying to misguide them..
Be a part of solution,
there are already plenty enough who is losting problems.
More complex problem you solve more you grow.
I think you are a Civils aspirant 😊
Start natural farming 70% problem solved
@@arpitaw5457 well said. This bill is definitely seller's platform. Even captive or contract farming will ensure strong support from vendor's. There product's will only succeed when contract farmer succeed at the bottom of value chain.
*Last Scene where a Bull was used to extract ground water gave me such happy feeling* Thank You Aparna
Stories like this should reach out every Indian. It's really inspiring ❤️.
Especially to the youth...
Am going to start like this type of farming mam ,I relly impress & motivate.
You mean " I am really impressed and motivated"
In response " Just do it"
@@svetlanikolova7673 you are so kind
Do itttt
All the best sir 😊
So the people coming up blindly and making a hue and cry of the farm bills passed by the Parliament must come and see this video. Its high time that the largest buisness community of the country changes its way of buisness. By de-regulating APMCs and forwarding contract farming the farming community can open a new many horizons that were closed till now.
You are great inspiration maam!
Huge respect for this incredible lady.. 🙏🙏
I love you and your enthusiasm and wonderful work that you are doing. I lived in the southern part of India back in the early seventies working as a volunteer in an agriculture program. At 71 years old now if I could return to India I would volunteer my free labor to help you as much as I could. I love your work. Thank you so much for sharing this. Love from Tennessee USA.
❤️ you are living my dream 🇮🇳
All you have to do is small step by small step make your way to this way of life.
Farmers should get educated they are doing work without any knowledge
Great work done
Thanks for keeping green
Farmers know plenty about farming which is their trade. Do I agree being morre aware of business would help. Yes..
But getting an education like the lady here can only come with privilege. Which almost 90% of Indian farmers can't as they are small farmers.
It's a brilliant endeavor and her initiative and creativity is commendable. But starting something on this model needs a lot of investment and man power which is not possible for every farmer.
@@98919891989198914 True but the privileged should take it upon themselves to help and educate the under privileged.
@@98919891989198914 They dont have to get as good education as the privileged, There are many efforts made by ngos and government to educate people, now with internet its even more easy, but the main problem is that people are not willing enough to put in the hard work.
Rather, present generation must make efforts to learn more from farmers of old generations, they didn't used any chemicals, only organic materials as fertilizer, pesticides, alternate crops, used bulls and their dungs as compost . Nothing was disposed as waste!! Traditional methods are best any days.
She is one great women who have* a long term vision with good and inclusive mindset which is sans whining out of mentally tiring R&D work & then convincing people out of old ways*. This is a sign of truly strong women, salute to her & people who partnered together❤️. Everyone should come forward to support such people, build a just & transparent community which* slowly become self sustaining itself after sometime.
Not just someone who whines more than work or generate ideas, wants only ACed services.
Well done ma'am...I think all the big farmers come together and do such initiative with small farmers' help..
I want to do the same thing after my studies !
Same❤️
GO VOLUNTEER

I'm lucky to come across such a wonderful video. The knowledge shared by the respected lady and ideas are absolutely brilliant. Also, the way she has thought about the employment issues of villagers and and problems of farmers, reflects how great a human she is!
One of very few who understand life and biology as a whole!! So NICE to see. :)
This is the first original and beneficial thinking that I have come across for saving indigenous breeds. They are disappearing everywhere. We in Africa worry about loss of this kind of genetic materials every day.
Revolutionary thinking and believe this will help farmers alot.
You were Soo gracefully speaking of your crops and farm as if they are your own kids . Felt really nice to see Soo much betterment in farming and awareness of organic food . Would love to visit you someday after this pandemic gets over . ♡♡♡
If this amazing woman is real we should all take a note from her book and apply it to our lives she seems like an amazing person and it is an amazing thing they're doing God bless y'all if y'all see this
From: Janesville, Wisconsin, USA
Learning from you has been precious and enjoyable. In my little garden, will try to do my best. Many thanks for your inspiration.
This was very encouraging. And I wish this lady all the best of luck on her farm. In addition to what she's mentioned. What they need to get is refrigeration. If they're able to refrigerate their produce and fruit. So that it's not going to start to rot the minute it's harvested. That'll give him some time to find the market to sell it to them. When you think about it, that's a no-brainer.
Beautiful soul, Thank you.
You have done fantastic job...this is great..
Very inspiring lady! Her enthusiasm is so great
Before the intervention of politicians, our farming in Bihar and U. P was exactly as per your laid down philosophy... Thanks for sincere effort.
Deep respect for Madam.. How much good she thinks about for village folks . Great

Great respect to inventive farmer!
Amazing....making and producing organic is a challenge.
I have noticed Here it's good to create own environment despite selling products.
Farmers can create own farm but first of all they have to assemble ..
