India & The Presence Of Organic Farming

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.

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.

If there is one thing that can be said about the relationship between grower and consumer, it is symbiotic. Keep in mind that farmers are going to be able to benefit from the profits that consumers make as they provide the best goods out there. Consumers, on the other hand, are not only able to attain the finest fruits and veggies out there but help smaller businesses out in the future. I do not think that anyone can argue with the impacting nature of this bond.

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.
