Barabanki Farmer Earns 80K Profit from 8K Investment with Garlic-Chilli Intercropping

• Umesh Kumar, a farmer from Bansa village in Barabanki, is successfully practicing intercropping of garlic and green chilies.
• This method allows him to earn a profit of 70 to 80 thousand rupees per crop with an investment of only 8 to 10 thousand rupees per bigha.
• Intercropping involves growing two or more crops simultaneously in the same field, maximizing land use and income.
• Garlic matures in 3 months, after which chili plants continue to yield for another 3-4 months, ensuring continuous income.
• The technique provides financial security; if one crop's market price drops, the other crop helps recover costs, often leading to double profit.

Why It Matters: Intercropping garlic and chilies offers Barabanki farmers high profits with low investment and continuous income.
