Sugar
Despite Sugarcane being cultivated in many regions in India, it is mostly under very intensive irrigated agriculture and therefore has been very difficult to convert traditional farmers to organic. Knowing this constraint, Morarka Organic has been working with farmers in Maharashtra project areas to introduce this crop among the organic farmers. In the last five years, small quantities of sugarcane have been cultivated under organic management. Due to technology and equipment constraints, this sugarcane is only converted to Jaggery, the white sugar not being possible. Presently Morarka Organic is sourcing Sugar from some other associates.
