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.
