Call Out…

Ismail, 49, Sawaimadhopur

“I have 5 acres guava orchard. We already don’t use chemicals. Company says do organic, they will handle papers, no extra cost, maybe more price. So why not?”

Reality Translation Layer

Ismail, for you organic does not change farming much. You are already low-input. No pesticides. No heavy fertilizers. Orchard is stable. Contractors already buy on per-tree basis. Organic here is not a farming shift. It is mostly a market tag.

Am I alone or someone is holding my hand!

You are not alone. Company is holding your hand—but carefully see how. They will manage certification, records, inspectors. You will follow instructions. Risk is low for you. Control is also not fully yours. You depend on their buying promise.

Is it really worthwhile or just cosmetics?

For you, organic is worth trying, but mostly cosmetic. Income may go up a little. Farming stress will not change. Long-term value depends on company honesty and continuity. If they exit, organic label alone will not protect your price.
