Punjab Farmers Diversify Crops and Add Value to Boost Agricultural Income
Two Punjab farmers have successfully diversified their agricultural practices beyond traditional wheat and paddy cycles. Jobandeep Singh from Amritsar cultivates organic crops like fennel, flaxseed, and pulses on five acres, integrating dairy and poultry to build a rural enterprise. Gurdial Singh of Gurdaspur transformed turmeric cultivation into a business by processing and packaging his produce, expanding from a small plot to 15 acres and creating local employment. Both emphasize modern techniques and value addition to enhance farm profitability.
