Pune, Maharashtra: As tomato prices continue to rise across the country, a farmer in Pune district has hit the jackpot. Tukaram Bhagoji Gayakar and his family have made a whopping ₹1.5 crore by selling an astonishing 13,000 tomato crates in just one month.
Tukaram, with the help of his son Ishwar Gayakar and daughter-in-law Sonall, cultivates tomatoes on 12 out of his 18 acres of agricultural land. They take pride in growing high-quality tomatoes and use their knowledge of fertilizers and pesticides to protect their crops from pests.
The family’s success story reached new heights when Tukaram earned ₹2,100 in a single day by selling just one tomato crate in Narayanganj. On Friday alone, Gayakar sold an incredible 900 crates, resulting in earnings of ₹18 lakh.
The Gayakar family’s achievement not only showcases their farming skills but also serves as an inspiration for other farmers struggling with fluctuating market prices. Their hard work and dedication have made them shining examples in Maharashtra’s agricultural landscape.
As tomato prices continue to soar, the Gayakar family’s story demonstrates the potential rewards that await those who employ expertise and employ effective farming techniques.
