Hi,
Along with a friend of mine, planning to setup a farm in the foothills of uttrakhand/himachal. Coming from a completely alien background when it comes to working on soil am not able to understand the dynamics of this business.
Would really appreciate if you guys can help me out with few of my queries.
1. Am trying to make a comparison chart of investment and the output profit keeping an average yield and average market price for all kinds of different plants/trees/herbs. The idea is to see what kind of plantation or may be other cultivation can give the kind of business we are seeking. I know different kind of crops/plants/cultivation require different type of weather condition and soil, but since we are still searching for a land and an open eye for the same in the northern part of India. I checked Nabard website were they have made a few reports for NEEM TEAK BAMBOO and Popular, but am sure there are many others options available.
2. Is there any consultancy firm in and around Delhi NCR who can help us setting up a farm.(Most of the people here on this forum I saw are from the southern part of the country. A differant soil a differant climate.

Any suggestion replies appreciated.
Thanks
