Dream harvest
Article Abstract:
Maxworth Orchards has worked hard over recent years to encourage the Indian people to invest in fruit growing. It has started around 170 farms, planted around 18,000 acres and attracted more than 20,000 investors. Investment has traditionally focused on industrial schemes, but Maxworth hopes to convince people that agriculture, when linked with scientific management, can be more profitable than industry. The company's founder, R. Subramanian, believes that India has considerable agricultural potential and that wealth should be transferred to poor rural parts of the country.
