Organic jaggery : ఆ ప్రాంతంలో కనుచూపుమేర చెరకు తోటలే. రసాయనాలు లేకుండా సేంద్రియ పద్ధతుల్లో సాగు చేస్తూ చెరకు పండిస్తున్నారు అక్కడి రైతులు. స్వచ్ఛతను పాటిస్తూ నాణ్యమైన బెల్లాన్ని తయారు చేస్తున్నారు. రుచికరంగా ఉండటంతో నిమ్మతొర్లువాడ బెల్లం చాలా ప్రసిద్ధిగాంచింది. ఈ బెల్లం స్వచ్ఛత గురించి తెలుసుకున్న తిరుమల తిరుపతి దేవస్థానం స్వామివారి ప్రసాదాల తయారీకి ఇవ్వాలని కోరడంతో రైతులు అంగీకరించారు. ఏటా 20 టన్నులకు పైగా బెల్లాన్ని అందిస్తూ ప్రత్యేకత చాటుకుంటున్నారు.

00:00The name of jaggery is mouth-watering.
00:03Not only the taste of the mouth, but also the presence of nutrients like iron gives a lot of health to the body.
00:09Along with sweets, it is also used as a separate food item.
00:13The Sikkolu farmers have turned jaggery into a source of income.
00:16Many farmers are doing natural farming in Amadhalavalsamandalam, Srikakulam district, Nimmathurlu vada.
00:22By adhering to the laws of nature, they are cultivating crops such as rice, sorghum and vegetables.
00:28At first, the farmers were disappointed that there was no proper marketing for organic products.
00:33In the preparation of Tirumala Srivari prasadam, the farmers who knew that only organic ingredients were used, sent jaggery for testing here.
00:41In the tests conducted by the marketing authorities, the jaggery from Nimmathurlu vada turned out to be very clean.
00:46The authorities themselves came here and accepted the farmers as they wanted to give all the jaggery.
00:51Currently, more than 20 tons of jaggery is being distributed to the temple every year.
00:56In the future, the quantity will be increased.
01:10Organic jaggery production is a very laborious job.
01:13First, they bring the sorghum seeds and put them in the crusher.
01:16The molasses from it is filled in a container and other ingredients are added to it.
01:21The clean sorghum is put in a boiler and heated.
01:24If this is mixed, jaggery syrup is formed.
01:28If this is cooled, a very tasty jaggery is prepared.
01:31All the workers pack it together.
01:34In the preparation of clean jaggery, the farmers say that even if you make a small mistake, it will not work.
01:41Mr. Tirumala is fortunate to be able to make prasadam with his jaggery.
01:46I have 5 acres of land.
01:48I do organic farming with these 5 acres of land.
01:50We have made 3 groups of LG groups here.
01:54There are 33 farmers in total.
01:57We do organic farming and make jaggery.
02:00We sent this jaggery a little last year.
02:04This year, we sent 20 tons of jaggery to Tirupati temple.
02:09We are very fortunate.
02:13We need 100 tons of jaggery from your village.
02:17Can you give us 100 tons of jaggery?
02:19He asked.
02:20We agreed to give 100 tons of jaggery.
02:23We said we would give 40 tons of jaggery.
02:25But we could not give 40 tons of jaggery.
02:27We had to give 20 tons of jaggery.
02:30We are ready to give 100 tons of jaggery.
02:37We are ready to send 100 tons of jaggery to the temple.
02:44Natural agriculture, which started with one person, has spread to many villages around.
02:49In the past, when Chandra Babu was the CM, he said that he was doing organic farming because he was punished by the chief farmer.
02:59Even though the marketing has slowed down under the government,
03:02Now that Chandra Babu has come to power, business is expressing hope that it will be healthier.
03:08The jaggery that was grown naturally is now going to Tirupati temple.
03:14We are very happy that the people of Tirupati temple have taken our jaggery.
03:21We are trying to send our jaggery to Venkataramanurth.
03:29Because of the chemical spray, there is a risk of cancer in the food we eat.
03:42We have been doing organic farming for 6 years.
03:46We eat good food.
03:52If we send this jaggery to Tirupati temple, we will get a double rate than what we sell in the village.
04:04We have been doing this for 18 years.
04:07It is good.
04:08We have been going to Tirupati temple three or four times.
04:11We want more from our area.
04:14Because of organic farming, the jaggery comes out well.
04:19If you add chemicals, it will spoil.
04:22This is good jaggery.
04:24It costs between Rs.90 and Rs.80 per kg.
04:27Because of organic farming, there is a risk of cancer in the food we eat.
04:33There is a 99% chance of cancer in the food we eat.
04:36This is good for everyone.
04:39Currently, there is a lot of demand for the jaggery grown here in the market.
04:43Not only in Tirumala Prasadam, but also in Kakinada Kaja, Atreyapuram Potharekulu is used.
04:49Farmers sell the jaggery on their own.
04:52With self-sufficiency, the income is low.
04:55Not only jaggery, but also all kinds of food grains are grown in a organic way.
05:00Farmers here are supporting the protection of the environment and the health of the people.
05:05Farmers are also happy to use the jaggery grown in Tamu in Tirumala Srivari Prasadam.
05:11Farmers are also happy to use the jaggery grown in Tamu in Tirumala Srivari Prasadam.
