Farmers near Pollachi keen on planting bottle gourds that give high profit at low expenditure


Farmers in Thamaraikulam and nearby places near Pollachi are keen planting bottle gourds that give high profits at less expenditure.

In the vicinity of Thamaraikulam near Pollachi, farmers are cultivating low-expenditure, high profit crops such as brinjal, lady's finger and bottle gourd next to coconut.



Due to good rains in the Pollachi area for the last few days, farmers are showing interest in bottle gourd cultivation.

As part of this, farmers are engaged in planting bottle gourd seeds in the Thamaraikulam area. Farmers say that if they spend ten thousand rupees per acre on bottle gourd cultivation, which is highly profitable agriculture at a low cost, they will get a profit of up to 1 lakh after 50 days.
