Indore's agriculture is also growing as we become smarter and more diverse. From shift to organic farming, now we are bringing diverse variety to fruit production in the city and state.
A farmer Santosh Somatiya from Indore planted saplings of Apple trees in his farm located in Khudel village and now is enjoying the fruit of his labour.
He bought 16 apple saplings from Himachal Pradesh and changed a part of his farm into a grove. Now, the saplings have turned into trees and produce 50 to 100 apples each.
“6 out of 16 saplings have matured and are now bearing fruit, which I count as an essential achievement,” Somatiya said.
He studied in Malharashram in Indore and added, “The school education that I received motivated me to innovate and try something new.” He is looking forward to better business as transport cost of apples slashed out for him.
While people believed that apples can grow only on high altitude, the recent developments and grafting has produced newer subspecies of the plant. Grafted Apple fruit plant, (Hot climate variety) are easily available in the market now.
