vue - OW Quinoa: A ray of hope for the drought-prone Indian farmer

Organic Wellness has undertaken large-scale farming of Quinoa across 2000 acres in the rain-deficient Bundelkhand region. Quinoa is a highly nutritious variety of cereal that requires minimal rainfall and low nutrient soil for cultivation. The failure of the Sesame crop due to rain shortfall this season in Babai, Bundelkhand led Organic Wellness to provide farmers with a viable and higher income generating alternative in Quinoa. The company aims to produce 1500MT of Quinoa this year with plans to raise production to 5000MT in 2016.
