Tumba: This yellow looking demanding fruit is making farmers rich

Tumba: Depending on the season, a wide variety of plants thrive on the dunes. Tumba, a plant that develops during the Kharif season, has proliferated under such circumstances. But instead of being farmed, it grows naturally. The farmers used to discard Tumba from the fields because it was causing them trouble, but now days they gather it and make a respectable living. Currently, this Tumba is in high demand nationwide.

Tumba, a yellow fruit, is said to be the most bitter, according to farmer Gopal. The demand for Tumba has increased as a result of its medical value, and it is now a lucrative fruit for farmers. In rainfed fields, it thrives as a weed among the crops of millet, guar, moth, and moong. Tumba vines can flourish in vacant areas when there is less rainfall. In the market, it costs between 30 and 40 rupees a kilogram. For the four months of the season, this Tumba stays.

Additionally, farmers are making a lot of money

Farmers used to spend a lot of money and effort pulling it out of the field because they thought it was a weed. The locals now rely on Tumba as a source of income because of its demand. In this scenario, individuals are harvesting Tumba from the fields and selling it to dealers for thousands of rupees. In addition, hundreds of laborers have found work by harvesting seeds and cutting, drying, and gathering Tumba. After cutting and drying them, they remove the seeds, and then purchase them for between 220 and 250 rupees each quintal.

Incorporated into Ayurvedic medications

According to ayurvedic physician Mukesh Kumar Gehlot, tumba is administered to animals as a medication and works well. These days, a lot of Ayurvedic and traditional medications also include it. Following the doctor’s instructions, it should be taken in the recommended dosage.

Tumba peel is also used in medications to boost animals’ immunity. Tumba is utilized in Ayurvedic medications to treat conditions including back discomfort, jaundice, and diabetes. Tumba medication helps with ailments that affect camels, cows, buffalo, sheep, goats, and other animals. Tumba is in high demand across the nation, notably in Delhi.
