[sridhar152]

sir, well i am really interested in growing stevia.
well i do fear that its really difficult to sell it.well the farmers growing stevia in karnataka have got worth their money.
which company will have developed buy back policy in karnataka.
in an earlier forum index i noticed a keral farmer has faced a lot of difficulties in selling it.

Dear Sridhar

Stevia cultivation without buy back like aloevera, safed musli etc is indeed a problem. We started in 1996 and struggled, finally decided to make products and sell. I guess this is the only way out. This may not be possible for small and marginal farmers not in the vicinity of big cities.

We are indeed seeing a demand for leaves gradully picking up, but agin it is not consistent.

We have a netwrok of suppliers with whom we source for our buyers abroad, do mail me your details and keep in touch regulalry on the e-mail of ASR HERBALS
