Suminter India Organics has been producing and exporting organic cotton in Kutch, Gujarat since last 12 years. The company educates farmers about organic farming time to time as well as distributes organic inputs for free.
Desi cow is very important in organic farming as cow dung and cow urine are required for preparation of necessary organic farming inputs to produce cotton and other crops.
Suminter India Organics distributed cows under the "Livelihood Dairy Development Program" in collaboration with Armedangel (Social Fashion Company) distributed 50 indigenous cows. All cows are milking and were distributed among 37 female farmers and 13 male farmers.
By rearing of these cows, farmers will get milk for their own family and get additional income by selling extra milk as well as by making inputs for organic farming for their own fields and can reduce production cost.
Thus, nursing the indigenous cow will improve the farmer’s financial condition, family health and soil health.
