Assam Farmer earns more than 2 lakh per month from Guava Farming

A visit to Mohan Chauhan's guava orchard in the Dhubri district will leave you spellbound at the sight of the hundreds of guavas hanging from the trees, which spreads out across the expanse of the seemingly never-ending orchard.

Chauhan who hails from Mandarkuti village is earning more than 2 lakhs monthly from the traditional farming of Guava. Mohan has become self-reliant by cultivating Guava in the 15 bighas of land.

Mohan Chauhan has become a role model for ten other farmers as he is continuing his work without taking any government benefits. Chauhan exports his guavas to Gosaigaon, Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon, and also Coochbehar, Alipurduar, and Siliguri.

There are two varieties of guava mangoes called Allahabad and Hybrid. Every day, I earn Rs 5,000-7,000 in the market by selling guavas. A single tree bears 100 to 150 guava fruits, Chauhan told IndiaTodayNE.
