Just watching your podcast and I can connect because I am from AKOLA and own a farm next to river but not have water for 12 months so what we have figured out is that we have build a artificial pond of really like 111 ft*111ft*26 ft and has nearly about 80 lkh ltr water capacity and planing to go with shade net farming with hydroponic for crops like Chinese cabbage 🥬, blueberry.

[@piratetricks3234]

Bro grapes are being grown in southern Maharashtra like Solapur, Northern Karnataka like Vijayapura. In these areas farmers highly depend on drip irrigation. Since there is a good amount of sunshine throughout the year disease incidence is a bit low compared to areas where moisture is high say like western maharashtra. As far as I have seen farmers use a lot of pesticides since they don't care much about export even then they make around 5 lakh/acre/year . If you consider the local market for grapes it's highly volatile. I've seen farmers giving grapes to village people when the rates have fallen too low.

[@gshbdnn2521]

Grapes are grown in Nashik bro . And per acres cost of fertilizer is 2 lacks and all infrastructure required is 10-15 lacks (including crop cover) People only see profit but some time one rain can destroy your whole years crop

[@alakz]

Why they can't start making a wine when the prices are low and sell it?

[@piratetricks3234]

@@gshbdnn2521 I know Nashik that Nashik is famous for grapes. Solapur, Jath areas are also famous for grape cultivation. Of course the cost of cultivation is high but when you see the large picture, land holdings in these areas are high, hence cost reduces significantly when you grow in more acres. Only marginal farmers face the issue of low margins moreover medium and large scale are more involved in grape cultivation

[@piratetricks3234]

@@alakz because the quality and variety of grape they grow is not suitable for wine production, most farmers make profits through raisin making

[@gshbdnn2521]

@@alakz wines variety are different and they can also easy to cultivate. Also you need brand to sell wine and most of people who plant wine grapes have contract with wineries

I hope this message finds you well. My name is sukh, and I am from Punjab. I recently had the pleasure of watching your podcast, and I was truly inspired by the depth of knowledge and insights you shared about grape farming and advanced agricultural techniques. I am very passionate about improving my understanding and skills in this field, particularly in adopting modern methods and technology to enhance productivity and sustainability. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to visit your farm and learn from you and your team. I believe your guidance and expertise can help me better understand advanced practices and apply them effectively in my own farming endeavors.

[@girisudhans882]

As an Agri graduate perspective agriculture = stock market, former should have diversified farming and managing different crops(crop rotation ). Success is not the key ,consistent success is the key .(virat can have a bad day at his peak form). Farmer should think of long term to make consistant and scalable farm income. Farmers have a mentality is ' if it worked it will work again' but not in many case . Also seeds(varieties) play a major role and if we you fertizer more extensive it will after the soil fertility . Also I'm a huge fan of think school your team is doing great , It is a major field and agri science is a so vast for 1 episode .plz do more videos with agripreneurs.

[@jayamaha9429]

i agree

[@JacasNeilli]

Loved this episode and Founders from Bharat Agri, but this episode needs to be in HINDI as the founders said our farmers does not have basic education so Hindi is must required. (This is perfect episode for your channel theme about business, so not complaining but suggestion/ideas around founders goal /vision was to help farmers.) Also, in episode with beerbiceps you did mention about HINDI show, this is perfect material for that, Also i will expand your questions more than Maharashtra specially for agricultural heavy states like Punjab and Gujarat....Love all the stuff you doing Ganesh and Team :) keep growing.

thanks for the valuable podcast, ganesh anna (it gave me few new ideas , i have already started my venture in building bots for small farmers) BUT Farming is not as easy as 5 to 9 JOB . 1 factor affecting your crop (weather, water, soil, pest, deseases, labour blah blah blah blah blah.....) is enough to kill your confidence for 3 to 6 months (but job will give you dopamine every month) Farming is 50% of back breaking tasks (not even modern equipments solve it without drawbacks) 25% of experience (regardless if bharat agri gives inputs or not) depends on region to region, crop to crop. 20% learning & applying new techniques. 5% market luck (lottery, getting better price for the yield)

[@manhwamaniac21]

No taxes on farming is very complex thing, some exploit it some need it. Those who can exploit it earn very big from it. Bad for country's economy but cant do anything due to loopholes. Those who cannot exploit it are marginal, middle class or in debt trap. Some way should be there to tax in a good way farming as 80 cr people not taxed are getting benefits of 1.3Cr middle class people, middle upper class. People say India to be next China, China gets so many subsidies due to their policies, but here 30%tax on profit. Thats why people dont show full income declare losses. Negative income, at least above 15 lakh should be slashed to 25%. Over 10-15 Cr profit you may do that..

FACT : Only a few people can make farming efficient. Also people who are successful in farming are also selling their own crop by making products. Otherwise, the world wide truth is farming can't be profitable and all over the world farming is subsidised by the government. The government keeps farming alive just in case there is war, The country needs to produce its own food.
