I farm 2 hectares of mango trees in Gujarat. This season I'm dealing with yields that have halved for two seasons. I've tried what the local suppliers recommended, but results aren't improving. I'm looking for an agronomist or experienced grower who can look at photos, soil-test results and my planting plan, and advise on what to change. A 30-minute call or exchange of messages would be fantastic. I'm happy to share photos and a soil test. I'm using only what I can afford, so low-cost suggestions are best. I'll share how it goes - and what worked - to help others in the community. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Good luck, Vasanthi. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.

      Stay strong, Vasanthi. This could happen to any of us. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

        Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

          Small businesses are the heart of Ahmedabad. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
