Dates cultivation on dry lands
Profit of Rs 1.6 lakhs per year from 1 acre
Dates cultivation on dry lands can fetch you Rs.1.5lakh per acre. Says Nizamuddin of Saliah Dates Nursery!
Arabian date palms should be the right choice for our Agriculturists growing crops in water scarce areas. they belong to the phoenix family, which are very common in Indiaand particularly in Andhra Pradesh State. These are capable of withstanding harsh climatic conditions and erratic rainfall.
These can be grown with minimum maintenance, low expenditure and with nil chemical fertilizer expenses. The date palms also make a significant contribution towards creation of equable microclimates within oasis ecosystems, thusenabling agricultural development to be sustained in many drought and saline affected regions. It is estimated that total population of date palm trees is approximately 105 million trees covering an area of 8,00,000 ha.
Relevant statics indicate that around only 10% of the world product dates are traded. India imports around 40% of dates offered for sale of world market. It has imported 244 thousand tones during 200.
They do not get attacked by pests and diseases. Animals do not browse these trees.
Agri Dr nassar is the specialist of this date palm crop. Mr S. Nizamudeen of saliah dates nursery in Dharmapuri dist having experience for 20 years in this field speaks to us: The date fruits have high nutrient value and medicinal uses. The date palm trees are gifts to agriculturists in drought hit areas. Considering the minimum input, the profits are enormous. Profits continue for 100 years at a stretch.

By Amruta on November 10th, 2009 at 8:14 am
Very nice info. Looking at the number of responses, people are very much interested in this idea. The variety of date plants that are native to AP produce very small size dates and are also seasonal. One should be aware of these factors as well as the time a seedling takes before producing fruits. It will be a few years before a tree produces fruits from the time the seedlings are started.
