Lamtluang Online News: Neihdawn village in Mizoram is poised to reap a bountiful tomato harvest, with 92 out of 150 households successfully cultivating the crop.
The village's tomato farmers are expected to earn over Rs. 1 crore this year, with the first harvest in 2024 yielding 460 quintals and generating Rs. 36,00,000 in revenue.
For the second harvest, farmers are anticipating a production of between 2000-3000 quintals, with an estimated value of Rs. 80,00,000, assuming a market price of Rs. 40 per kilogram.
The village's success in tomato cultivation can be attributed to the favourable climate and soil conditions, as well as the support provided by the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) Champhai District, which has been promoting tomato cultivation in the region.
The KVK has been providing training and support to farmers, including demonstrations on scientific cultivation of tomatoes, which has enabled the farmers to adopt best practices and improve their yields.
The tomato harvest is expected to bring a significant boost to the local economy, providing a much-needed source of income for the villagers.
