Ideal startup crop for new farmer !

[amarshah]

Hello

I have a land bank close to Pune. It is at a height of approx 3500-4000 feet above sea level, with a slightly to medium slope and having red soil. Water is pretty decent. Currently the land had been used for grazing only.

I am keen on developing the same. As i am new i seek...

1) Knowledge of which will be ideal crops to grow as a starter for such an environment.

2) As the land is devoid of chemicals i.e. pesticides, fertilizers etc.. I would prefer to go the organic way.

3) I would not mind dividing the land (approx 15acres) into smaller patches to grow multiple crops, gestation period could vary.

4) Source of raw material availability in Mumbai / Pune / Satara for the above venture.

5) People within the above mentioned area and other whom i could talk to for getting for indepth knowledge.

Thanks

Amar
