Farmer's
success story..! Profit in millions on Country sugar..!
Villupuram farmer Ravichandran is making a profit of lakhs in the production of
sugar and liquid
jaggery near Valavanur. Ravichandran (67), a resident of BS Palayam
village next to Valavanur in Villupuram district, has been involved in natural farming for 22 years. He has been doing artificial farming. Soil quality, despite the high profitability of artificial agriculture, began to decline.

Noticing this, farmer Ravichandran began to delve into natural farming under the guidance of Nammazhvar and Palekar, who gave many details and advice on natural farming. He is currently running a company called Krishna's Organic Farm. He adopted the Palekar method of natural agriculture and began to act accordingly. He has been successfully involved in organic farming for 22 years. He is currently cultivating sugarcane on 20 acres and producing and selling native
sugar which is the country
sugar,
jaggery, and liquid Jaggery.

According to farmer Ravichandran, if you look at the investment per acre, the wages are higher. If one invests 20 lakhs, we can see a profit of at least five lakhs. And if we take 500 to 600 tons of
sugar from 20 acres a year, we will get a profit of 20 lakhs to 25 lakhs. If we get more than a thousand tons of
sugar in 20 acres, we will get a better profit than expected.

If the sugarcane is cultivated 8 feet by intercropping according to the Palekar method, we can definitely harvest sugarcane for a hundred years. Among the sugarcane, Manila, green lentils, and
black gram can be grown. The cane crop is also irrigated with a gun shooter. We are using natural fertilizers like Jivamirtham and
cow dung as manure for sugarcane. The harvested sugarcane is machined, filtered, and processed into
sugar and jaggery.

1 kg of
sugar retails at Rs. 105, wholesale at Rs. 82,
jaggery at Rs. 98 per kg and wholesale at Rs. 76 per kg. The
sugar and
jaggery produced here are also exported to various parts of
tamil Nadu such as Dindigul, Salem, Madurai, Thiruvannamalai, Virudhunagar, Kallakurichi, and Krishnagiri. And in organic farming, intercropping with multiple crops can definitely be profitable.
