A farmer, Shiv Kumar Kumethi, from Durg, Chhattisgarh had 12 acres of farm land where he grew only one paddy crop and in spite of all the government help, he could make only Rs.3 lakh annually. It is when Shiv came across the professional support of Dhavalas, providing end-to-end farming solutions, did he start cultivating eight crops round the years and increased his income to Rs.12 lakh annually. As an agriculture consortium, Dhavalas offers A-Z consulting solutions from agric-science, financing, agro-engineering, skill development, legal matters to farm materials supply, equipments, seeds, consumables and more at discounted prices & also execution of farm infra development works.
