Question Seeking Guidance on Moringa & Bamboo Cultivation – Cost, Maintenance, and Market Prices

[tuljaiagr]

Hello Everyone,

I have 25 acres of land near Sangli, Maharashtra, and I am planning to cultivate moringa and bamboo. I would appreciate insights from experienced farmers, suppliers, and experts regarding the following:

1. Cost of plants per acre – What is the approximate cost for 1,000 plants per acre for both moringa and bamboo?
2. Annual maintenance cost – What are the estimated expenses for irrigation, fertilizers, and other maintenance per acre?
3. Time to maturity – How long do moringa and bamboo take to reach a stage where they can be commercially harvested?
4. Market prices – What are the current market rates for moringa (leaves, drumsticks) and bamboo? Also, if the pricing is per ton, what is the approximate yield per plant?

Looking forward to valuable inputs and suggestions. If you have experience in large-scale cultivation or supply of quality saplings, please feel free to connect.


Thank you!
