Paving the path to prosperity with okra.
Mahadev Shetty is from Bannithalapura Village, Gundlupete Taluk, Chamrajnagar District, South Karnataka. He has been practicing agriculture for six years. On his 9 acres of land, he grows various crops such as turmeric and vegetables, including tomato, onion, chili, okra, and capsicum.
Every year, he dedicates 5 acres to cultivating vegetables, as he believes they provide a quick return on investment. Additionally, the demand for vegetables is consistent and not season-dependent, giving him better market access to sell his produce. By implementing best agricultural practices, he has earned state-level recognition.
Mahadev Shetty is confident that he will continue growing vegetables every year, considering the steady earnings they provide.
