Ramkaran
Tiwari from Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, turned his
family’s farming tradition into a modern, profitable
potato business.
His
training at Central Potato Research Institute
introduced him to the seed plot technique,
revolutionizing his approach to potato
farming.
Ramkaran
grows more than ten varieties of potatoes, including
Kufri Lima and Kufri Bahar, across his 30-acre farm,
ensuring quality produce.
Ramkaran
built a tissue culture lab on his farm, producing
high-quality potato seeds, which led to a
significant increase in his harvest.
Using social media to
market directly, Ramkaran built a loyal customer
base, selling high-quality potatoes directly from
his farm.
Ramkaran’s success turned
Etawah from a potato-importing region to an
exporting one, inspiring other farmers and creating
local jobs.
Through
modern techniques and hard work, Ramkaran earns
close to Rs.1 crore annually from his potato farm,
achieving remarkable financial success.
Ramkaran’s efforts have
earned him multiple awards, and he continues to
inspire farmers across India to innovate and see
farming as a profitable venture.
