Organic Farming & The Growth In India

By Rob Sutter


The efforts that are seen within organic farming are, in my eyes, some of the best that can be considered. There are various crops that are going to be grown and the truth of the matter is that fresh food is going to be seen at a high level these days. You can look to the growing demand for this, especially the most recent developments that have been made in India. I did not realize this to be true until I was able to read a recent report on the matter.

There was an article on the Economic Times that went into detail about the rise of organic farming. It isn't hard to see why this level of growth has come about, especially since consumers are looking for far better fruits and vegetables to invest money into. India, in particular, has seemingly become far more health-conscious these days and the prevalence of a number of crops went to show this. It's a great development that more than has the support of networks such as Colle Farmers Market.

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.

Organic farming has been seen in a great way within India and it's not hard to see why. It's an economic choice to make, of course, but it is something that will be able to stand on its own as far as health is concern. Those living in India have demanded greater food be made available and they have more than gotten their wish. With more farming efforts being seen in the future, most likely, I believe that many other areas are going to be able to benefit, too.
