RanchiEspecially in Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, there are some farmers who have become millionaires by farming, In which the first name comes that of Shakti, Who earned crores of rupees from lakh farming, Apart from this, Budhan Singh who is earning crores of rupees by farming pearls, Apart from this, Amit is generating crores of turnover annually by cultivating oyster mushroom,
In such a situation, especially the youth are getting attracted towards these three types of farming. It is cultivated on a large scale in Ranchi. Not only these three but there are many other farmers who are earning huge profits by cultivating all these things. In such a situation, these people told how cultivating these three is very beneficial.
There are crores of rupees in lakh farming
Shakti, a resident of Rani Bagan, Ranchi, says, I have been cultivating lac for the last 10 years and every year I harvest at least 40 to 50 lac. To cultivate lac, you must have safflower and plum trees. Even if you do not have them, you can take them on lease from those who have trees and give them 40% of the profit, I also work in the same way.
Lac is a worm which is specially released in Safflower and Banyan trees and this worm works to make lac on the branch of the tree. He told, there is a very good demand in the lacquer paint company. If any big branded paint company comes to know that you are cultivating this thing, then it will go to your house and book it.
Benefits of oyster mushroom cultivation
Amit Kumar, a resident of Ranchi, says that he has especially focused on oyster mushroom. Because, it has a very high amount of protein and minerals and we not only produce this mushroom but also dry it and make its powder, which is used as protein powder and we also keep the dried mushroom. Mushroom pickle, mushroom chutney and many other products are made from it which are in huge demand in the market.
He told, 40 to 50 kg of mushrooms are grown every day. And the price of oyster mushroom is double of the ordinary one, if one pav of ordinary is Rs 50 then this one is Rs 100. In such a situation, I formed my own company, under which the annual turnover easily ranges between Rs 1-1.5 crore. But for this you will have to work with a lot of hard work, dedication and consistency.
Strong earnings in pearl farming
At the same time, Budhan Singh Purti of Ranchi says, once one had to think for ₹ 4000 and today the turnover is 30 to 40 lakh rupees and all this is because of pearl farming. The special thing about pearl farming is that I do it on my terrace only. No big space is required for this, investment on one oyster is ₹ 45 and profit is ₹ 150. That means you can earn three times from one oyster.
But for this one thing is important that taking training from the right place. The best training is available in Hyderabad. Anyone who wants to do pearl farming should take training from there and not from anywhere else. You may be cheated elsewhere. There training is provided by the Central Government. I have also taken training from there and then you can also do pearl farming on the terrace of your house with just 10-12 tubs.
