Hi people.....i m a farmer in India, with a banana plantation. I have grown two varieties of banana's without using any fertilizers or pesticides. It is totally organically grown with lots of manpower and money. But now the reality strikes me like a thunderbolt. THERE ARE NO BUYERS. My heart has been in shambles since. All the produce has gone waste.

I am posting here for a sincere request my friends. Please guide me if anyone of you have taken the same path. Can i sell any other product of Banana (leaves or stem) or is there any way i can recover my money from the crop. Its become very bad for me to even carry on my life, because of the debts that i had made to cultivate it organically, taking it as a challenge... Is this the fate of all organic cultivators. I just wanted to contribute to protect my environment.

I do hope that some of you will kindly throw some light or pitch in some help.....waiting for it.....

Thanks brothers and sisters

Please excuse my bluntness, but how does one get into such trouble?
What was your market plan for your crop pre-planting?
What types of bananas did you grow, how many plants, what is their current condition?
I don't think you'll find someone here to purchase ten-thousand banana plants!
I don't know how commercial growers run but couldn't there be a market for your pups to growers with a market?
Specialty markets have always been a big risk, and it sounds as if you put too many eggs in that basket.:waving:
