The unit produces nearly 30,000 litres of liquid bio-fertilizers a month

“If one goes through the agricultural production history in the last six decades, the number of farmers opting out of agriculture, suicides of hundreds of farmers in the past 10 years, and shrinking cultivation lands are ample proof that our agriculture policy is totally wrong,” says Mr. R. Kulandaisamy a progressive farmer and liquid bio-fertilizer producer called Tari Biotech in Thanjavur.

“Though policy makers and certain sections of the scientific fraternity say that yields are increasing and farmers prospering, a visit to any nearby village proves that many of these claims are far from true,” he adds.
