Organic Farming & The Growth In India

By Rob Sutter


The presence of organic farming is something that is becoming more and more common these days. After all, there is a much higher demand for fresh food these days and all areas of the world should have access to it, right? Recently, I read a report that spoke about how this is starting to become more of a trend in India. However, I did not realize just how much work went into until I started to read more into the story in question, keeping every detail in mind.

A recent article went into detail about the Economic Times and how it seems as though organic farming has seen a great increase in India. Keep in mind that society, in general, is becoming far more focused on the presence of healthy food, so it's not too surprising that fruits and vegetables would be able to come in effect. In addition, take into account how health-conscious India, in particular, has become. This is where organics come into play and they are ones which networks like Colle Farmers Market are able to endorse.

I was surprised to see just how much higher the price was of these crops that farmers were able to get their hands on. The article said that farmers have been able to attain 118% higher price for their leafy vegetables alone. Compare this to the 53% for selling grain and you will start to see that there is much more of a focus on selling produce and rightfully so. There is so much to consider in the way of growth and how consumers and farmers have been able to benefit.

There is something to be said about the relationship between the grower and the consumer. Keep in mind that farmers, most likely, are going to have to perform work on a more local scale, so they are not going to be able to attain as much business. That being said, consumers desire the best produce and the ability to bring business to these markets is one that should be exercised. Few things are as impacting as bringing the best business to the smaller establishments you can think of.

It seems as though organic farming efforts have been able to help India in a number of ways. It is easily one of the most economic methods that have been put in place but it is very important from a health standpoint as well. Various areas of the world have become more aware of the crops that they are able to present to the masses and it goes without saying that India has recognized this need as well. Make sure that you keep this in mind as you invest, too.
