Traditionally farmers cultivate conventional crops like sorghum, bajra, castor,
paddy, red gram, etc. in the drylands
depending on their resources which are
vulnerable to vagaries of monsoon, pests
and diseases leading to crop failure. The
problem is further aggravated with fluctuating market price of their produce for
various reasons like drought, government
policies, transient waterlogging, interference by middlemen, etc. Although the
productivity of these crops has improved
significantly with the advent of new
technologies (variety, agronomic practices, etc), improved income to the farmers
in the same tune is missing. In the last
ten years, area under green chilly and
green leafy vegetables (coriander, mint,
fenugreek) cultivation has increased
almost 10% over 2010, which indicates
the increasing preference of farmers
towards them1
(Figure 1). Though the
Government of India (GoI) is encouraging doubling the income of farmers, the
risk-taking capacity of marginal farmers
with marginal soil type is poor. Hence,
an enterprise with low investment for
a portable piece of land with tremendous
income opportunities is highly profitable.
