Dear Mr. Shekhar,
Seasons Greetings!
Most of the people, especially professionals like u r entering into agriculture. This is very much appreciatable. But this is with passion not with planing. At the end of the day, people will regret and blame the agriculture for their misdeads. Please be aware of the following about the agriculture.
1. Extent of 5 acres land is not feasible for a profitable agri venture. It should be a minimum of 25 acres
2. For absent landlords like u, annuals crops are not recommended. Go for perennials.
3. Marketing of end produce is again a task.
4. What is your vision? Only agriculture with annual crops is not profitatble. For profits it should be linked with processing.
5. If u put very good efforts, and every thing goes well, you may get a net profit of Rs.10-15 thousands per acre/annum
6. Agriculture is more Common Sense than Science
7. Do something solid. If u r doing the agriculture just to show u and the world that u r something in agriculture with out expecting o k. OR it is for investment purpose also it is OK. OR as a agri entreprenur u want to do something, you have to refine the entire process.
Any how, we wish u good luck in ur efforts. Go for perennial crops like mango, cashew, pomgrenate, fig etc., for time being. Identify the suitable crop for the Agro Climatic conditions of your farm land. Authentic Information abot the crops is available. This is for your info. I am not discouraging u. Agriculture is a profitable venture and profession, if it is handled properly. Do it with AWARENESS. If u don't know what u r doing, then don't do any thing.
