Onions make debt-ridden Karnataka farmer crorepati

Mallikarjuna invested Rs 15 lakh, hoping to reap a profit of Rs 5-10 lakh. But he hit a jackpot.
Onion farmer made Rs 5 lakh profit last year
Mallikarjuna is now a celebrity in the farming circles in Chitradurga, 200km from Bengaluru, after local media reported his success story. “I have cleared my debt and I am planning to build a house. I want to buy more land to expand the agricultural work in the coming years,” he said.

Lucky person who did not fall into middlemen / agents while selling onions. Other farmers should learn from him on how to avoid middlemen.

since the prices have soared to 300%.. this means ideally when he was expecting 25 lakh return ( 10 lakh profit) . now he would be getting 25*3 = 75 lakh. so it is safe to assume his jackpot amount must hv been north of 75l

And I wonder how many Mallikarjunas there are! I bought a used gfx card from a seller called Mallikarjuna on Erodov and from then whenever I saw that name I thought it’s him probably. But I’ve since found at least half a dozen references to different Mallikarjunas.

Damn. Good for him. I quite clearly remember last season a farmer committed suicide because onions fell below 20 rupees or something.

It’s not only about onions you can reap profit from anything if you have business mind inside you. Just like other jobs farmers farm and sell. They never think how they can make big money..
