As entrepreneurs are still sticking to traditional manufacturing or trading, the market for organic manure is widening due to challenges of soil health, irrigation water quality, high cost of fertilizers, and support from the government for natural farming.<\/p>\r\n<p>Agriculture in India is transitioning to sustainability. PKVY (<a href=\"https:\/\/pgsindia-ncof.gov.in\/\">Parampara at Krishi Vikas Yojana<\/a>) schemes and state-led Organic Farming Missions have stimulated production and use of organic farming inputs and reduction in use of chemical fertilizers so as to promote organic fertilizer such as vermicompost use. This is a long-term shift in the country&#8217;s agriculture.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_87_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white

increase in demand for organic manure from different sectors. Soil degradation from chemical fertilizers is a serious problem for farmers. Meanwhile, consumers are looking for chemical-free food, which is encouraging farmers to adopt organic farming.<\/p>\r\n<p>Organic farming clusters set up by the government are a major driver. Governments in states such as Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Rajasthan are encouraging organic farming, in which Vermicompost plays a central role.<\/p>\r\n<p>Organic inputs are also being used by commercial farming. Greenhouse farmers, export vegetable growers and contract farming companies are also using organic manure.<\/p>\r\n<p>City demand is also rising sharply thanks to home gardening and the sale of gardening inputs online.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_This_Business_is_Promising\"><\/span><strong>Why This Business is Promising<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>The vermicompost business is appealing due to its simplicity and low capital outlay.
