Transforming a 30-Acre Fruit Farm for Higher Productivity & Profitability
A client owning a 30-acre fruit farm in Andhra Pradesh faced multiple challenges, including low productivity, lack of management, inefficient input application, and dependency on rainfall. With no irrigation system, excessive weed growth, and unutilized barren land, profitability remained low, limiting the farm’s potential.
Our Approach
Krishikan initiated a comprehensive farm audit, evaluating plant health, soil condition, inventory, and operational gaps. During our assessment, we observed low soil organic carbon levels, which indicated poor soil health and limited nutrient retention. To address this, we implemented the following strategic interventions:
Conducted soil testing to establish baseline fertility and designed a precision nutrient application plan to improve organic matter content.
Developed a drip irrigation system, ensuring efficient water usage and reducing dependency on rainfall.
Implemented a structured pest management and nutrition schedule to optimize plant health and boost yields.
Designed and implemented a weed management protocol and introduced a farm monitoring system, enhancing overall farm maintenance.
Appointed a dedicated farm manager to oversee daily operations, labor management, input application, and harvest scheduling.
Leveraged the unused 5-acre land, planning intercropping with melons and vegetables, generating additional revenue for the client
Established Market Connect to fetch better rates from market compared to selling it to local middle men.
