Reduction in cultivation cost: High cost chemical fertilizers are being replaced with Organic fertilizer and compost (cost is less compared to chemical fertilizers), integrated pest and weed management supported by use of bio-pesticides and nutrient management techniques. This helps in saving of expenditure on chemical fertilisers and pesticides and in improvement of soil health and fertility.
2. Value added organic farm produce: Better price is realized due to chemical free farm produce. Patanjali promotes crop varieties available with ICAR Institutes and SAUs which add value to the produce, address malnutrition and hidden hunger. Buyback arrangement with Patanjali and other stakeholders help farmers to get higher price at their farm gate, thus reducing middleman and transportation hassles.
