So what’s all this Poly House Farming all about?
Polyhouse or a greenhouse is a house or a structure made of translucent material like glass or polyethylene where the plants grow and develop under controlled climatic conditions. The size of structure can differ from small shacks to big-size buildings as per the need. Above all, a greenhouse is a glass house whose interiors become warm when exposed to sunbeams as the house stops the greenhouse gas to leave. So when it is cold outside, the temperature inside is survival friendly and warm for the plants.
Polyhouse farming is basically green house farming done on a smaller scale for crops like exotic flowers with high market value. Encouraged by the first project, Ramesh Bhai has constructed another Poly House for cultivating roses.

“Poly House Farmers can double their incomes with the right consultation and guidance in farming. Here Agro Expert Kamal Joshi guided us from inception of the project. Ranging from applications for subsidy to the right channels to the construction of Poly house and so ahead the sowing maintenance and reaping of the crop was done under the efficient guidance of Agro-Expert Kamal Joshi”, says RameshBhai Patel
Mr. Kamal Joshi is an agricultural expert specializing in different techniques of Faming to yield more crop with minimum resources. Been consulting since more than 10 years and over 200 successful project implementations, cultivating turmeric, gerbera and exotic plants, Kamal Joshi has come a long way in guiding farmers to sustain and build an extra income on the same farms.
