At Dhankawade Group, we cultivate a variety of crops to support our sustainable agriculture practices. Our primary crop is sugarcane, grown on 155 acres, which supports our sugar mill operations. We also grow soybean on 30 acres to diversify crops and improve soil health, and watermelon on 12 acres to support local markets and agro-trade.

We use eco-friendly practices such as:

• Crop rotation and diversification

• Organic waste composting

• Efficient water usage (drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting) This helps improve soil health, reduce resource waste, and maintain environmental balance.

We convert organic farm waste into biogas, which is used to generate clean energy. This helps:

• Reduce carbon emissions

• Recycle agricultural waste

• Support sustainable rural electrification

Our initiatives:

• Provide employment to farm workers and support staff

• Promote local produce in nearby markets

• Offer training and resources for sustainable farming practices

Our approach reduces the environmental footprint by:

• Limiting chemical usage

• Lowering greenhouse gas emissions through biogas energy

• Encouraging regenerative farming to restore natural ecosystems

• Soybean enhances soil fertility and reduces dependency on a single crop, lowering risk.

• Watermelon generates seasonal income and promotes market connectivity for small-scale farmers.

We ensure timely procurement of sugarcane, offer fair pricing, and provide consistent income for farmers. Our model encourages sustainable farming practices and long-term agricultural partnerships.
