00:00The young farmer of Chhattisgarh is in a lot of talk these days.
00:11The specialty of the farmer is that while completing his studies abroad, he decided to take a step in agriculture.
00:18The name of this farmer is Kabir Chandrakar, who is a modern way of farming guava.
00:25In 2014, after completing his MBA degree in Corporate Finance from the University of Chester,
00:31Kabir joined his father to learn the intricacies of agriculture.
00:35Then in 2015, he took a step in agriculture.
00:38I did my BBA in Marketing and then did my MBA in Corporate Finance.
00:42While doing this, I had in mind that I wanted to do something related to agriculture.
00:48At that time, my father was still young and he was doing farming.
00:55So, I was thinking that in terms of inputs, the things that we use here,
00:59in terms of cost reduction, if we can get better material,
01:05if we have to do some technological advancement,
01:08or if we have to take financial aid from the government,
01:11if we have to take loans, expand,
01:14I came to agriculture thinking that I would use my brain in these things.
01:19How many years did you stay there and how did you plan to come here?
01:24I was there for two years. I did my MBA course for two years.
01:28After two years, I came here.
01:31When I returned in 2014, till 2015, as I told you, I was working in inputs.
01:38For example, we use a foam net. You can see it in the visuals.
01:42The foam net used to come from Gujarat. It used to cost Rs. 2 or Rs. 2.5.
01:48I did a search on this. At that time, Alibaba.com used to run.
01:52If you want anything from China, you can order it very easily.
01:55So, through that, through the internet, I searched where else I could get it cheaper.
01:59So, in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, all these countries,
02:03it was sold very cheaply. The farmers there were already using it.
02:06So, when I calculated the cost from there,
02:10when I reached here, I got the same thing for Rs. 2 or Rs. 2.5 for Rs. 60.
02:15I got it for Rs. 60 and then I ordered it.
02:18I ordered 10 lakh pieces together.
02:21From here, I took a step towards farming.
02:26Then there were other things like this.
02:29After ordering it for Rs. 60, it so happened that the manufacturers here,
02:33because in the beginning, any product has a high price.
02:39There is not much competition.
02:42So, today, the rate is 10 years.
02:45So, even today, the price is Rs. 50-60.
02:49Kabir saw that his father was farming guava in 6 acres.
02:53He came to know that the cost was high.
02:56So, first, Kabir reduced his father's cost
02:59and then increased the scope of farming with the remaining money.
03:02After 6 acres, 10 acres, 25 acres, 40 acres.
03:06In this way, in the last 10 years, he started farming guava in 120 acres.
03:11Along with Raipur, Kabir is farming in about 120 acres in 4 places.
03:17Two of Kabir's farmhouses are in Mujgahan in Raipur.
03:20Along with Siliari, his farmhouse is in a place like Arejhar
03:25in Patewa and Baloch districts of Mahasamund district.
03:29Kabir mainly produces two types of seeds.
03:34The first is VNR and the second is Pink Taiwan.
03:37There is another place in Raipur called Gurud Siliari.
03:40There is a farm there.
03:42There is a place called Patewa near Tumgaon, Mahasamund district.
03:45There is a village called Arejhar in front of Dalli Rajra.
03:50There is a farm there.
03:52It is in Baloch district.
03:54So, how many acres are there in total?
03:56And how many people are directly or indirectly connected to employment?
04:00Our total farming is of 120 acres.
04:03The plantation of guava is in 120 acres.
04:06If we talk about the number of people,
04:08on an average 150-200 people work daily.
04:11Then it depends on the season.
04:13Whenever the peak season comes,
04:15when bagging and all this is needed,
04:17then the number of 200 I am telling you
04:19sometimes reaches up to 400, 450, 500.
04:22Because you must have seen that
04:25the bagging we do is very labor-intensive work.
04:28That is, we have to remove each fruit
04:30and put three layers on it.
04:32So, we have to do a lot of labor for that.
04:36So, we need more at that time.
04:38Then after that, there is a waiting period
04:40or cutting is done.
04:41So, in the free time, light maintenance,
04:43cleanliness, drip maintenance,
04:45all this is done.
04:47According to Kabir, it takes about four years
04:49to plant the fruit.
04:51Music
04:56After the fruit comes,
04:58it is also necessary to keep in mind
05:00whether it will be able to stay in the market or not.
05:02It takes three to four days for one fruit
05:04to reach from one place to another
05:06to the retailer.
05:09Even after doing all this,
05:11there is a problem of labor
05:13in front of the farmer.
05:15Kabir said that guava is sent not only to Chhattisgarh
05:18but also abroad.
05:20But foreign export is not direct.
05:22It is exported by foreign companies.
05:26If we talk about earnings,
05:28their annual turnover is 2.5 to 3 crores.
05:31There is a problem of labor.
05:33You must have heard that there is always
05:35a problem of labor in the field.
05:37So, the problem of labor is
05:39to equip labor,
05:41that is, to teach them a little skill,
05:43to make them skillful.
05:45How to cut up, how to do it,
05:47these are all small problems.
05:49These are things to learn.
05:51If you learn it well,
05:53the farming gets better.
05:55What will be the annual turnover
05:57of guava in 120 acres?
05:59Now the plants are in different stages,
06:01which is old.
06:03I tell according to per acre.
06:05If one acre is matured,
06:07then you should have a production
06:09of about 20 to 25 tons in a year.
06:11Now it depends on
06:13if you have done cutting for a year,
06:15deep cutting, deep pruning,
06:17if light pruning has been done,
06:19then there will be a full production of 20 tons.
06:21If deep cutting has been done,
06:23deep cutting means that the thick branches,
06:25the height of the tree goes a little more,
06:27then it has to be cut every 2 to 3 years.
06:29Then the production of 1 to 8 years
06:31has a loss of about 10 tons.
06:33On an average, if you are taking
06:3515 to 20 tons of production,
06:37then your turnover should be
06:39around 4 to 5 lakh rupees.
06:41The manager working in the farm
06:43and the laborer watching the cultivation
06:45have to put in so much effort
06:47to save the crop.
06:49I have to do all the work here,
06:51I have to break the goods,
06:53I have to do marketing,
06:55I have to break the cups,
06:57I have to send them,
06:59I have to do a little supporting
07:01and I have to do cup cutting,
07:03and in what quantity
07:05I have to break the goods,
07:07I have to pack it and send it.
07:09All this is my job.
07:11There are many diseases in it.
07:13For example?
07:15There are many diseases in it.
07:17There are many diseases in it.
07:19There are many diseases in it.
07:21So how do you put the medicine?
07:23So how do you put the medicine?
07:25I spray the medicine in it.
07:27So this is also your job?
07:29Yes.
07:31So do you have to do it every day?
07:33Not every day,
07:35only when the disease comes.
07:37So when does the disease come?
07:39It comes more in the rain.
07:41So you have to look at the trees more in the rain?
07:43Yes.
07:45You have to look at the trees every time.
07:47You have to pay more attention to the disease in the rain.
07:49Kabir's mother has been farming guava for the past 10 years.
07:51In the beginning,
07:53his business was at its peak.
07:55But now other farmers have also come to the market.
07:57So the market is stable.
07:59Kabir's mother says that
08:01it is very important to do market research
08:03before starting any farm.
08:05Because without demand,
08:07if anything is farmed,
08:09there is a shortage.
