Sorry for long post but the scenario demands such a thing. For more such ideas or brain storming you could employ local farmers or cross country communities on these lines....
there was agro tourism pitch on shark tank india season 1 by a vidharba person Pandurang Taware who belongs to one such agricultural problem he has solved and has scaled.... I think he could understand your problem given the socio economic similarty and cultural bandwith to help you out here. so feel free to reach out people like them..... But my views are from personal experience.... please dont get me wrong.... I just wanted to put it across .... and just wanna help... nothing more
There is nothing wrong. I am really want thanks to for thats much of long answer.
We dont are not near to Vidrabha. we have Enough Rain water in ground for 9-10 months out of 12. For Rest of 3 months we have keep reserve with Farm Pond, it's enough for 6-7 acers)
But there is different situation in our case-
Actually Problem is that, For farming there should be at least 1 person to give can look into this or Manage it and can give time. (That what we don't have everyone is busy)
By looking about Profit of crops, its too much less and compare to hard work/time. So for next 10yrs we don't want invest in Farm.
And also have different plans.
Rather than sugarcane nothing is give benifit. (But need water for whole a year- we have for 9 months)- so we can grow limited sugarcane.
For your knowledge, Short term crops which you said are not give profit. Many time you will get only avg 4k or 5k profit from acers after calculation.- (if totally dependents on Labours)
Many time it goes in negative.
This year's calculations of Short term crop is negative (but we depended on Farm that's why , it's not effect us)
3 days ago 1 of our neighbor paid from his pocket for selling 100s of bags of Onion in Market.
It's not that easy to survive Farm 😄. After 4 months hard work.
For Fruit plants, it's myth that they need less care😅 they also need too much care, planning etc. We already have Lemmon plants in 2.5 acers.
(practically it's really different Sanrio )
You are right that, Farming can be profitable if we decide to get profit. But as I early said, don't have enough time.
Agro Tourism is not good as you think.😄
I know it's still great idea- but again it need Time and money.
Sadal Wood will give profit in CR. But, security means again comes Manange and time and also need good negative cash flow. sadal tree don't make its own food, they are parasite. So, we need plant other seperate special tree for per sadal tree.
May be you posted this because you have less practical experience about Farming or may be your area is Good for Faming practices...😄
I made post here, because In this community there is most of people doing job. And I thought may be someone is here who have similar type of situation and how they dealing witg this . Just for to know, Practical idea who have already worked on idea. Or who is utilizing Land with at least some profit with mental peace.
