Grow Peanuts and Earn Big Money with Low Cost!

Peanut farming is like a money-making machine for farmers! With low costs and high profits, it’s a great way to improve your life. Give it a try with the right care, and you could see big earnings. Happy farming!

Why Choose Peanut Farming?

Peanuts are not just tasty; they are also a great way to make money. Unlike old crops like wheat or rice, peanuts have a steady demand in the market. Farmers can earn more by growing them because they cost less to grow and sell for a good price. Plus, you can grow two crops in a year, doubling your earnings!

What Kind of Weather and Soil Do Peanuts Need?

Peanuts love warm and slightly wet weather. The best temperature for them is between 20°C and 30°C. You need sandy or loamy soil that drains water well. This type of soil helps the peanuts grow strong and healthy.

How to Prepare the Field?

To get a good peanut crop, start with a well-prepared field:

• Dig the soil deeply to make it loose.
• Use a tool like a plow to level the field so water spreads evenly.
• Add 4-5 tons of cow dung per acre before planting to make the soil rich.

Choosing Seeds and Taking Care

Pick good-quality peanut seeds and treat them before planting to keep away diseases and pests. Plant the seeds during the rainy season, from June to July. You don’t need too much water—give it only when the plants start making pods and when the pods are growing. Remove weeds by hand after 15-20 days of planting. Use 20-30 kg of nitrogen, 40-50 kg of phosphorus, and 30-40 kg of potash per acre as fertilizer.

How Much Can You Earn?

Let’s do a simple calculation to see the profit:

• Cost: About ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 per acre (includes seeds ₹4,000-₹5,000, fertilizer ₹3,000-₹4,000, field work ₹2,000-₹3,000, water ₹1,500-₹2,000, pest control ₹1,500-₹2,000, and labor ₹3,000-₹4,000).
• Yield: You can get 10-15 quintals (1,000-1,500 kg) per acre with good care.
• Market Price: Peanuts sell for ₹5,000 to ₹8,000 per quintal.
• Income: If you get 12 quintals and sell at ₹6,000 per quintal, you earn ₹72,000 per acre.
• Profit: After spending ₹15,000, your profit could be around ₹57,000 per acre in one season!

If you grow two crops (one in the rainy season and one later), you could earn up to ₹1 lakh or more in a year!
