# First Batch: 4.6 Tonnes of Natural Ginger from Neemuch Neemuch's black cotton soil holds moisture differently than most of Madhya Pradesh. That retention — and the farm's heavy mulching protocol — produced something remarkable this January. ## The Numbers - **Variety:** Suprabhat - **Area:** 5.5 acres, South Field - **Harvest:** 4,675 kg (850 kg/acre) - **Grade:** A — large rhizomes, strong aroma, no blemishes - **Buyer:** The Spice Route Co., Bangalore - **Price realised:** ₹140/kg ## The Protocol That Made It 80% mulch coverage from day one. Jeevamrit every 10 days. Vermicompost after the monsoon. Zero chemicals — the farm is in Year 1 of NPOP certification. Total input cost: ₹8,500/acre. Revenue: ₹1,19,000/acre. The ginger paid for 14 acres of next season's operations. ## What's Next South Field goes into turmeric for kharif 2026. The same protocol, the same soil — building towards Year 2 certification and a direct export contract.
