Gonda Farmer Boosts Income with Organic Tomatoes, Bamboo-Rope Technique

• Sandeep Kumar Maurya, a farmer in Gonda, cultivates organic tomatoes using bamboo and rope techniques.
• He uses natural methods like cow dung manure and organic solutions, avoiding chemical fertilizers to maintain soil health.
• The bamboo and rope method prevents fruits from touching the ground, ensuring good quality, color, and better market prices.
• Cultivating the Naveen 2000 variety on one acre, he expects significant income from an initial investment of Rs 10,000-15,000.
• Inspired by a neighbor, Maurya returned to farming after working in Delhi and now plans to expand his tomato cultivation.
