Jamkhed bananas directly to Iran Taruna’s maximum, earned millions from banana farming
Many farmers in Ahmednagar district have now started experimenting in their fields. There are examples of experimental farming in many areas of the district and income of lakhs.
Be it black wheat from Akola or apple farm directly from Sangamner. It would be the multi-million dollar pomegranate farm of the Lamkhade brothers of Bota Shivara, which flourished only on rainwater.
All these examples of progressive young farmers in Ahmadnar. Now, due to this, the experiment of Kale crop by a farmer from Jamkhed in Ahmednagar district has come to light. A young farmer from Naigaon in Jamkhed taluka has exported bananas to Iran.
This young man has made a banana orchard flourish by managing water properly. In the first phase, nine tons of bananas went to Iran and the farmer said that he got 1 lakh 62 thousand rupees from it. This farmer’s name is Ganesh Ugle.
Farmers here are always pioneers in carrying out various experiments in agriculture. Ugle successfully experimented with a similar orchard and directly delivered bananas to Iran. They have received a price of eighteen thousand rupees per ton. This alchemy is done by proper management
This is alchemy
Ganesh planted banana of ‘Jain G9’ variety. It was planted at a distance of 5 by 6 feet. So twelve hundred banana trees were planted in one acre. Fruiting started eleven months after planting. One and a half lakh rupees were spent per acre like plant, drip, medicines, fertilizers, labor, tillage.
Ugle said that an income of ten lakh rupees is expected from the banana crop grown in 70 bunches. If the banana price is at least 10,000 rupees per ton, this farm is affordable.
