5 years in the past, I went to the vegetable market of Agra in Uttar Pradesh with an individual from the village. There, farmers have been bringing a lot of ripe cucumbers on the market. When I inquired about this from a farmer named Ramveer, he stated smilingly, ‘Work arduous for 4 months and luxuriate in the entire 12 months sitting at house’.

From that point onwards, he determined to domesticate foot cucumber and began farming by shopping for one kg of seeds for Rs. 10,000 in a single acre of land. Flowers began blooming 25 days after planting the seeds and the fruits began harvesting after about 55 days. This farming lasts for 115-120 days and the yield is round 125 to 130 quintals in a single acre.
Every 12 months its sowing is completed within the month of June and will get over by the tip of September. But in 4 months, round 2.5 lakh rupees are earned from this farming. Out of which, leaving apart the arduous work and value of 35 thousand rupees, there’s a direct revenue of about 2 lakh rupees.
