Mahesh Prasad Verma, a farmer who grows mahogany, told Local 18: “I used to farm wheat, paddy, and other crops.” Then one day Shiv Shakti Company representatives visited my home. They suggested that I cultivate mahogany trees. After that, we planted 200 mahogany trees—provided by Shiv Shakti Company—line to line in a 1.5-bigha area. These trees were damaged in part. Approximately 170 trees remain now.
They’re around three years old. We paid about 119 rupees for its seedling, which came to nearly 20,000 rupees. It is estimated that this tree will be ready for profit in ten to twelve years. It costs between forty and fifty thousand rupees. Its cultivation has the potential to provide income in the thousands of rupees.
Growing mahogany is really simple. Bring the plant from the nursery first. Then plant it. Remember that the planting hole has to be two feet broad and two feet deep. The ground doesn’t need to be prepared for this. Simply remember that the dirt shouldn’t be very sandy. Use manure made from cow dung after planting. The plant has to be watered once it has been planted. One month after planting, the plant begins to grow. In ten to twelve years, it is fully prepared.
