Prabir Purkait, an organic farmer from South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, has successfully grown a range of exotic vegetables, including Leek and Lettuce, this year. His impressive results have been made possible with the ongoing support of MUKTI, an organization dedicated to promoting sustainable farming practices.
For many years, Purkait has been working with MUKTI, a partnership that has helped him transition to organic farming. Through the use of bio-fertilizers, Purkait has been able to enhance soil fertility and improve the quality of his crops, reducing his reliance on chemical fertilizers.
This year, Purkait ventured into cultivating new types of vegetables, including Leek and Lettuce, which are not commonly grown in his region. The outcome has been positive, with both the quantity and quality of the crops meeting his expectations.
MUKTI has been a key source of support for Purkait, providing him with the necessary resources, training, and guidance to experiment with new crops. The organization has helped farmers like him not only improve their agricultural techniques but also access markets for their produce.
MUKTI’s support has allowed Purkait to expand his offerings and explore new opportunities in the market. With the success of his exotic vegetable crops, he is now looking to further grow his operations and continue his journey in organic farming.
