Avocado or Butterfruit requies more water. It's suitable for Malnad/Kerala regions. If all farmers start Avocado farming in dry climate areas using borewell there will be water problem for sure.
As usual farmers doing the same mistake again. Videos like this show money on the paper. Rampant cultivation of Avocados has started already throughout India. God knows what will happen in the next five years. Butter fruit used to grow as a backyard fruit trees in Malnad regions and in Kodaikanal have made inroads everywhere. No proper selection of cultivars, no rootstock selection, no disease identification due to monocrop cultivation and never thought about the market, indian consumer palate or value addition. Hope it doesn't become like the Passion fruit of the North East or Emu farming of Progressive farmer of Kaivara.
@@mohannair5671 the concerned departments still cannot solve the wilt issue of GI tagged Coorg Mandarin, or the CHESH, Chettalli's own fruit, the Kaveri variety passion fruit. Due to wilt issue the mandarins of Northeast and Kodagu never progressed. The scientists take their own time to solve or they are transferred to different departments leaving the previous work to gather dust. Why all that, a beautiful fruit like the egg fruit is never marketed well. If mixed with milk and vanilla ice cream the fruit can win a taste challenge over two lengths distance. The California avocados have over hundred years of research and development. When I asked IIHR back in 2016 to provide me a grafted avocado they laughed and told me who makes grafted ones, we have only seedling variety. When asked for the root rot issue they told me it's yet to be experimented. The first grafted ones were the TDK1, which I have two plants, which was done on a pilot basis by CHES, Chettalli.
Indian farmers should be helped by govts at all levels. Indian farmers should aim to be the best and govt should come up with lots of initiatives encouraging them not only to produce for India but for the world. It is a recession proof industry. The best practices of the world should be adopted in India and literacy rate should increase to 100%. Some qualities like good education, good health and skill development should be given full attention by the authorities. Indians should be treated like one family and fully supported and encouraged. Merit and hard work should be rewarded. Laziness and inactivity should be discouraged. Giving free food may lead to laziness in some cases so it should be carefully planned and only to handicap people govt should support. 80 crore people are given 5 kg food grain but they should do some work for the society they live in. Freebies can only be in furthering education, skill development and standing on ones own feet. Long live India and its visionary leaders. We must aim to be the best.
The motive becomes money my friend. These exotic fruit bearing trees are very water hungry. Unless we accept sustainable farming practices, we will be heading to an acute water shortage.
@@vishruthvasagam6382 but at the same time there a lot of ppl quitting farming and converting lands into sites. I ofcourse would expect a sustainable approach considering the soil quality, water availability and weather conditions.
Avocado production is highly water-intensive, roughly 70 liters per fruit, more than 12 times as much as tamato. Only very few farmers have their own regular market for the products. Other farmers are just producing resulting to selling of their produce at a lower price, thereby, affecting the marketability of those produced by other farmers. Dragon fruit production requires a relatively high investment costs. everyone can't grow that

They can plant all the avocados they want but Michoacán mexico will always hold the tittle of world capital of avocados. They grow the best and the more than anyone else in the world.
@@mohannair5671 we have three cultivars, the Indian avocado is watery and has less oil contents compared to the Mexican and Guatemalan counterparts. It's good for domestic consumption, wherein the domestic consumption is around 1 to 2%. The superior cultivars cannot be grown throughout the Indian subcontinent due to varied temperatures or has not been field trialed. Its a new fruit to many planters and lots of them are jumping into the bandwagon. It's just a waiting game for the intelligent and a money making scenario for the nursery people.
@@getbuggs the imported varieties may be cultivated in desert areas as desert reclamation, with careful cultivation, excess water content could be overcome?

Arecanut farm had made tulu region dry place
They are making profits because only few are growing
If all farmers in an area start growing the same fruits with increased supply prices will fall
Avocado is now available at around 100rs per kg....it was about 400 or more just a couple of years ago

Butter fruit requires a lot of water also.
It seems more like an act of desperation,rather than sound business sense!!!!

@@getbuggs Hi sir.Can i get ur contact details pls.
@@getbuggs wish you sn early success in your efforts to improve varieties. Perhaps, we could try sir layering on imported plants?
Nice n informative video 🎉🎉

Thank you for covering such topics from our state. It will motivate more ppl to look at farming as a genuine source of income

Very good 👍

The farmers should organise themselves into cooperatives especially for marketing, instead of expecting government action!!!!
Wisdom is to plan for exports!!!!
We have the West Indian varietal. Inferior race for export.
@@getbuggs tpethsos time to produce a different variety with greater export potential?
Calls for good planning and a different management approach?

grow only high oil content avocados.. russell, malump, pinkerton, original gem al good for high heat . and high quality
Is it organic
Avocado Production
10 Lakh One Acre Year
Avocado doesn’t suit for India. It needs lot of water. If it takes ground water, the region becomes dry and spoiled for other crops
We have avacados here forever, we call it butter fruit and make milkshake out of it
Hiii
Can u send me that farmers numbers for getting information
8 to 10 tons of dragon fruit and 75000 in a good season 😂😂are u drunk Deccan herald?
It is done on red soil
