Chandigarh: Farming in India is now gradually becoming a symbol of revolution, sustainability, and self-reliance. Dr. Sunila Kumari from Haryana is a role model for horticulture farmers. She is a woman agripreneur who has been promoting the farming of the nutritious dragon fruit in India. Her mission is to encourage Indian farmers to come forward and start dragon fruit farming on a large scale and increase their incomes.

Her aim is to expand her work and reach global markets. Her team always advises farmers to go for organic farming and use a minimum of harmful chemicals.
Her company promotes precision farming—a smart approach that uses the right amount of water, fertilizer, and effort to get better results while saving costs. Farmers receive personalized farming packages based on their land and region.
Dragonflora Farms is ready to support farmers at every stage. The company ensures that dragon fruit reaches customers without the use of artificial ripening. The company stresses eco-friendly methods in farming dragon fruit. Sunila’s team transmits knowledge on how to use sustainable packaging like jute bags and bamboo baskets, inspiring farmers to adopt natural farming methods.
