  • Uttar Pradesh: Kushinagar bananas winning hearts from Punjab to Kashmir

    Uttar Pradesh: Kushinagar bananas winning hearts from Punjab to Kashmir

    Uttar Pradesh: Kushinagar bananas, grown in the revered land of Buddha’s Mahaparinirvana and designated as a One District One Product (ODOP) by the Yogi government, have captivated taste buds from Punjab to Kashmir.

    From Uttar Pradesh to Bihar and Nepal: Kushinagar bananas gain widespread popularity 

    These sweet bananas are distributed widely to major cities such as Delhi, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, and Bhatinda. Their popularity extends beyond Uttar Pradesh, with strong demand across all districts of the Gorakhpur division, as well as in Kanpur, Nepal, and Bihar, where they enjoy a dedicated fan base.

    According to Ashok Rai, in charge of the Kushinagar Krishi Vigyan Kendra, affiliated to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, local farmers grow bananas for both fruit and vegetable purposes, with 70% of the cultivation area dedicated to fruits and 30% to vegetables. 

    Uttar Pradesh

    The G-9 variety is most popular for consumption, while Robusta is preferred for vegetable use. Banana cultivation covers around 16,000 hectares in the district.

    Notably, banana cultivation and processing has surged in Kushinagar with the ODOP status granted to it by the Uttar Pradesh government.  Voluntary organizations are producing banana juice, chips, flour, pickles, and even products like mats, baskets, and slippers made from banana fiber. These products are seeing growing demand and enthusiasm. 

    Ashok Rai explains that in 2007, banana cultivation in Kushinagar was limited to just 500 hectares. Today, it has expanded 32 times to nearly 16,000 hectares with the ODOP designation. Additionally, the government subsidies approximately Rs 31,000 per hectare to farmers for cultivating bananas.

    Kushinagar, part of the Gorakhpur division, has a major market for fruits and vegetables. Initially, only a few farmers from Kushinagar would bring their bananas to sell in this market. Due to the high quality of the fruit, some traders from Gorakhpur began purchasing bananas directly from the farms in Kushinagar. 

    The bananas are being supplied to Delhi, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, and Bhatinda 

    These traders, who had established connections with counterparts in Kashmir, Punjab, and Delhi to trade apples, kinnow, and other produce, helped spread the fame of Kushinagar bananas to distant markets. Today, Kushinagar bananas are supplied to major cities, including Kashmir, Bhatinda, Ludhiana, Chandigarh, Kanpur, Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut.

    Noticing the increasing interest of local farmers in banana cultivation, former District Magistrate Umesh Mishra initiated efforts to grant banana farming the status of an industry. He convened meetings with bankers and directed them to offer easy loans to banana growers through various central and state government schemes.

    Murlidhar Dixit from Sirsiyan Dixit and Mrityunjay Mishra from Bharwalia  are prominent banana farmers whose produce is distributed to major cities across the state and country through commission agents. According to them, the peak season for banana sales is just before Navratri, driven by the festive demand.

    Banana farming is labor-intensive. The process involves digging pits for planting, applying fertilizers, planting saplings, regular irrigation, crop protection, and harvesting of ripe fruit. Additionally, the tasks of loading, unloading, and transporting the produce generate significant employment opportunities.

    Dr S.P. Singh, a vegetable scientist at Krishi Vigyan Kendra Belipar (Gorakhpur), advises that the ideal time for planting bananas is in February or during July-August. To minimize risks, farmers cultivating on a large scale are advised to plant in both seasons.

    Uttar Pradesh: Banana emerges as a more profitable alternative to traditional crops in Purvanchal and Awadh regions with Yogi govt’s support

    Uttar Pradesh: More and more farmers are taking to banana cultivation in these regions of  

    Farmers in Uttar Pradesh are increasingly turning to banana cultivation due to its status as a short-duration cash crop with consistent demand throughout the year. It is being grown extensively in districts such as Kushinagar, Gorakhpur, Deoria, Basti, Maharajganj, Ayodhya, Gonda, Bahraich, Ambedkarnagar, Barabanki, Pratapgarh, Amethi, Kaushambi, Sitapur, and Lakhimpur, covering areas like Purvanchal and Awadh.

    Uttar Pradesh: The Yogi government is providing a subsidy of around Rs 31,000 per hectare for banana cultivation. Additionally, the transparent distribution of agricultural equipment and subsidies on drip and sprinkler irrigation, along with solar pumps, have further encouraged farmers to adopt cash crops like bananas.

    Uttar Pradesh

    Traditionally, banana farming was concentrated in South India. However, decades ago, cultivation spread to Bhusaval and surrounding areas in Maharashtra, making the Bhusaval banana synonymous with the region. Over time, Bihar’s Naugachia bananas gained popularity, particularly in markets across North India, prompting farmers in Kushinagar, near Bihar, to cultivate it on a large scale.

    According to data from the Central Institute of Subtropical Horticulture, Rahmankheda, Lucknow, India produces approximately 3.5 crore metric tonnes of bananas annually, with a cultivation area of about 9,61,000 hectares across the country.

    India and Uttar Pradesh banana production in Uttar Pradesh

    Uttar Pradesh: In Uttar Pradesh alone, banana cultivation spans around 70,000 hectares, with the total production of 3.172 lakh metric tonnes and an average yield of 45.73 metric tonnes per hectare.

    Bananas hold significant value, not only economically, but also for their religious and nutritional importance. No religious ritual is considered complete without the use of bananas or banana leaves. 

    In addition to being a popular daily breakfast item, bananas are often consumed during fasts. The fruit is also increasingly used for various co-products, including items made from both raw and ripe bananas, as well as fiber from the stem.

    While many seasonal fruits are available only during specific months, bananas are among the few fruits available year-round. Unlike most fruits that need to be washed or cut, bananas are easy to consume by simply peeling the skin, making them a convenient choice for many.

    Uttar Pradesh: Banana is very important not only economically but also religiously and nutritionally

    According to T. Damodaran, Director of the Central Institute of Subtropical Horticulture, bananas are highly important from a nutritional standpoint. Rich in potassium, they are also a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin B-6. 

    Potassium plays a crucial role in heart health, particularly in managing blood pressure. A potassium-rich diet helps in controlling blood pressure and can reduce the risk of hypertension, potentially lowering the chance of heart disease by 27%.

    Prabhat Kumar Shukla, Principal Scientist at the Central Institute of Subtropical Horticulture, emphasizes that the vitamin B-6 found in bananas is easily absorbed by the body. A medium-sized banana can meet approximately one-fourth of the daily requirement for this vitamin. 

    Uttar Pradesh

    Vitamin B-6 is essential for the production of red blood cells, the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, and converting these into energy. It also helps remove unwanted chemicals from the liver and kidneys, while maintaining a healthy nervous system.
