One of our Success Stories

Nursery business based on sugarcane seedlings helps

farmers and industry.

About 50 nurseries operating in Maharashtra alone.

Technology also being used in Terai region of Nepal.

A family having 2000 sq m land and a small well can have

annual turnover of Rs.15 lac, providing planting material to

100 ha.

Farmers using seedlings as planting material obtain about

20% additional yield compared to the traditional method of

planting.

Increased availability of cane to the industry.
